Fortas Calls Lazarus on Viet Nam Spending Clash
Fortas contacted Ralph Lazarus of Cincinnati Ohio president of Federated Department Stores at Johnson's request. Lazarus refused comment on the Fortas testimony. Lazarus said at a May 12 1967 news conference his Domestic Economy Committee calculated Viet Nam spending would surpass official projections by 5 billion dollars. The Times noted Fortas aimed to convey Lyndon Johnson's demand for clarification over a statement the President found misleading. Fortas said he and an unnamed businessman served on the board of directors of a major company, and Fortas is a Federated director.
