Secret $100,000 Donations Tied Mills Campaign to Dallas Firm
Washington report details how Tronic Data Systems Corp executives Milledge Hart III and Melvin Stauffer channeled 100000 to Wilbur Mills in 1972 via 17 dummy committees. Mills, chair of Ways and Means, says he knew nothing of the sources and that no corporate funds were proven. The disclosures tie to Watergate files showing other large gifts and possible corporate influence on health policy oversight.
