GOP Votes Wide Open Influence Investigation
The Senate Republican Policy committee voted unanimously to form an eight member panel to conduct a wide open inquiry into improper lobbying and influence on Congress. The move follows Sen. Francis Case’s disclosure that an oil lobbyist offered him a 2500 campaign contribution during the natural gas debate. Democratic leaders planned a similar plan. Chairman Styles Bridges said the Senate would likely approve the investigation, with witnesses including Neff and other figures in the Case matter. The committee may extend its reporting deadline from March 1 to March 10.
