WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
federal government says it has
spent nearly $2 million improv-
ing President Nixon’s homes in
Florida and California, all of it
relating to ‘‘security.”

The White House also dis-
closed that businessman Robert
H. Abplanalp, who helped the
President buy his San Clemen-
te, Calif., retreat, has been
getting some money back in the
form of rent associated with
Nixon’s~ Key Biscayné, Fila.,
place.

A month ago the White House
had listed $39,000 in federal
funds for improving the West-
ern White House at San
Clemente since Nixon bought it
in 1969.

Last week, after a further
search of record, it raised this
figure to $460,302.

On Thursday, General Ser-
vices Administration (GSA),
the government's housekeeping
agency, said a_ still more
extensive audit put the total
federal expenditure at San
Clemente at $703,367 over four
fiscal years beginning July 1,
1969. This included only the
residence there, not the White
House office space.

GSA listed for the first time
the federal expenditure for
improvements, equipment, Op-
eration and maintenance at the

White House complex at Key
 Biscayne, including both resi-
dence and office space—
$1,180,522, spread over five
fiscal years beginning July 1,
1968.

Included in the Key Biscayne
figure was $161,463 for renting
two houses in the complex for
the Secret Service and White
House communications staff.

The White House said all of
the taxpayers’ money spent in
San Clemente and Key Bis-
cayne was for security-related
improvements and that all
work was done at the request of
the Secret Service, not the
President.
