Ship ruling ends six million windfall for tanker firm
Washington reports the Nixon administration suspended a ruling that would have allowed the Libera registered tanker Sansinena to operate between U.S. ports, a move critics say would have created a six million windfall for Barrauda Tanker Co owned by former White House aide Peter M. Flanigan. Senator Joseph D. Tydings blasted the action as boosting the firm's value to about eleven million dollars. Edward A. Garmatz disclosed the cancellation to the House Merchant Marine Committee.
