Freeman Admits Errors in Estes Case
Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman testified before a Senate subcommittee acknowledging errors and shortcomings in handling Billie Sol Estes matters. He stressed no tax money was lost, no favors given, and outlined steps to tighten departmental operations. He faulted a 1960 61 transfer decision involving Estes to Cotton Advisory Committee and said such transfers should not have been approved. He added the department provided Estes no special benefits.
