FBI agents ran surveillance on senator to press for funding
A former FBI agent says in 1963 the bureau compiled derogatory material on a Midwestern senator to win his vote on FBI appropriations. The agent, Arthur Murtagh, alleges agents tailed the senator during a stakeout near a Communist bloc embassy after he drove erratically. He claims the senator learned of the surveillance the next day. DeLoach calls the report preposterous, noting Johnson’s concern over alleged indiscretions by White House staff and legislators.
