Gulf Oil donations probe prompts silent reactions worldwide
Gulf Oil Corp admitted illegal political contributions in South Korea and Bolivia, with $4 million given to South Korea's ruling party in 1966 and 1970 and about $460,000 to Bolivia's late President Barrientos including a helicopter. Seoul officials declined comment while Bolivia's cabinet demanded details. Kissinger said U.S. security commitments remain unaffected.
