Agnew Protection Funds Halted by Comptroller General
Washington time. Comptroller General Elmer Staats informed Treasury that no further federal funds may be used to provide Secret Service protection for former Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. The cutoff begins Monday, ending Agnew’s protection after he resigned on October 10. GAO notes costs near 90000 dollars since then. Saxbe questions ongoing protection while Nixon-era precedent cites similar post tenure protection for Humphrey.
