What was the name of the committee Nixon formed to spy on Democrats during the 1972 campaign?

• A. Whip Committee
• B. Commission to Re-Elect the President
• C. Committee for Re-Elect the Party
• D. Presidential Re-Election Committee

Answer: (B)

This question focuses on the organization the Nixon campaign created to support his 1972 re-election and its role in the Watergate activities. The real group was officially named the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, often shortened to CRP and nicknamed CREEP. The option that describes a Commission to Re-Elect the President is the closest match in meaning because it reflects the same purpose: a body formed specifically to help re-elect the president. That re-election aim is what ties it to the actions taken against the Democrats in the Watergate era. The other phrasings don’t align as well with the actual name or purpose of the group.
