In a high profile proceeding, Senator Dodd faces a Senate censure amid a record compiled by the Stennis committee.

A Conservative View on Dodd Judgment and Doubt
James Kilpatrick weighs the Dodd case noting reasonable doubt favoring acquittal though verdicts seem close. He divides charges into four areas including public funds via testimonials, travel expense reimbursements, a large Spanel contribution, and a car loan, but emphasizes the long disputed 1964 Germany trip as strongest. He calls Dodd indiscreet and blundering, a fool at times, yet unsure if this merits punishment.
