Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, testifying before a senate panel, denies ever seeing or approving a list of quotas attributed to Governor Cox.

He notes the national committee agreed to lend $20,000 to both senatorial and congressional campaigns, to be repaid from their own funds, a sum not in the official four million dollar budget.
