Houston official describes 1953 influence requests to McLealish
Ferguson of the Houston Fire and Casualty Co testified before the subcommittee about two 1953 requests by McLealish to hire a friend and to allocate part of the firm's 1 million dollar FHA insurance business to “friends of the administration.” He said he refused both requests. He also noted the agency’s long standing insurance contract was cancelled last year for FHA licensing issues and that White House staff allegedly tried to reinstate it but was told it was too late once another group received the award.
