Lance defense outlines multiple bank controversy points
Budget Director Bert Lance defended himself before the Senate committee on overdrafts at Calhoun First National Bank and related issues. He says overdrafts were legal under bank policy, that campaign overdrafts were managed with his funds and guarantees, and that loans and correspondent accounts involved normal terms. He denies collusion, asserts transparency, and rejects embezzlement links.
