Speaking Freely Exceeds Routine Dirty Politics By Don Oakley
A column argues Nixon milk price supports in 1972 were a stain on his presidency. It cites a Senate Watergate committee draft alleging a $2 million milk industry contribution influenced policy, cost taxpayers hundreds of millions, and questions Treasury Secretary Connally’s role. It notes White House tapes and documents withheld and critiques the administration’s priorities. It also notes costs of dog bite investigations as unrelated fiscal detail.
