Gulf slush fund details tie to Hugh Scott payments
A UPI report states a Gulf Oil probe found Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott requested cash from Gulf officials after Watergate. Scott had received 5000 dollars each spring and fall for eight years and was told his pipeline was cut off in 1973. He later said he would not seek re election in 1976, a decision he claimed predated Gulf payments.
