The deferrals, in a letter to Transportation Secretary Volpe, support Nixon’s drive to cut capital construction to curb inflation. The state originally planned 71.8 million dollars in highway work for 1970.

Gonzalez echoed the defense, saying the project involved a nonprofit and no financial gain for executives. Williams claimed the Johnson administration helped move $2 million of federal property to U.S. Geriatrics Center, Inc.
