Fulbright Letters Show Senatorial Independence in Loans Probe
The piece argues that Senator Fulbright wrote a longhand letter in 1948 about a $600000 RFC loan for the Jack Tar tourist court in Hot Springs. It contends the White House copied and used letters to threaten elected officials, while defending officials’ right to discuss public funds. It praises Fulbright as literate and asserts bureaucrats overstep when backing favored projects.
