House panel report finds no evidence Nixon okayed illegal work
A House Judiciary Committee staff report on Nixon's Florida and California homes finds no specific evidence that Nixon approved taxpayer financed improvements. It relies on earlier GSA and tax committee findings totaling 17 million in federal spending and 92 thousand in income related to the upgrades, with no proof of Nixon's approval. The document includes a Dean Kalmbach transcript showing concerns about private records and San Clemente records being disclosed.
