Former Gulf worker details campaign payoffs across years
Frederick Myers, Gulf Oil's former Washington legislative coordinator, testified to the SEC that he delivered sealed cash envelopes to at least 15 senators and representatives from 1960 to 1972. He cited trips to Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Indianapolis and others, with envelopes opened only twice. He named numerous lawmakers and aides, including Sen. Edwin Mechem and Rep. Herman Schneebeli, and noted Gulf's broader $5 million political payments from a Bahamas subsidiary.
