Postal audit graft tied to Ernst and Ernst bidding scandal
The postal service reviewed a back scratching relationship with Ernst and Ernst, the second highest bidder for a 1971 auditing contract. Assistant Postmaster General Hargrove overrode staff to award to Ernst and Ernst, which later recruited two top postal executives Gould and Bowen. Gould urged contract renewals without bids, Bowen certified renewals, and the contract grew to 460000 in 1973. A Nixon campaign contribution from Ernst and Ernst was noted, with denials from firm and postal spokesmen. The piece also recalls White House pressures against the Washington Post and related FBI notes.
