Carter Discussed Lance Bank Troubles Before Nomination
President Carter and Bert Lance talked over Lance financial problems at least two weeks before the nomination to head the Office of Management and Budget, according to press secretary Jody Powell. The issues centered on bank overdrafts and debts, with briefings in November and December and the FBI probe not yet complete. Powell said no timing discussions indicated delaying the announcement, and Lance faced seven overdrafts in 1977 blamed on the bank.
