Casey advances after Senate panel backs SEC head bid
The Senate Banking Committee reaffirmed approval of William J. Casey to lead the SEC amid GOP charges of smear tactics by staff. Chairman John Sparkman said Casey’s nomination will reach the full Senate early next week. Casey faced five hours of questioning over lawsuits and business dealings, denying wrongdoing and blaming faulty recollection. A surprise witness, Judge J Braxton Carven Jr., contradicted parts of Casey’s February testimony, and Casey acknowledged errors in some statements.
