Estes and Holleman Ties Traced From 1952 Campaign
The statement traces a long association between Estes and Holleman back to 1952 when Holleman was an assistant to the executive secretary of the Texas Federation of Labor and Estes ran a large Pecos farming operation. Contacts persisted through the 1960 campaign as Holleman served as an assistant Democratic campaign director for Texas. Both men are members of the Church of Christ, a key element of their relationship.

In January 1961 Estes called Holleman to congratulate him on his appointment as assistant secretary of labor.
