Estes Threat toAppeal to Freeman and Kennedy over Cotton Rules
A declassified Agriculture Department report from Oct 27, 1961, quotes Texas financier Billie Sol Estes promising to go to Secretary Orville Freeman and even President Kennedy if cotton allotment rules were altered midgame. The 140-page document, once confidential, notes Estes relied on attorney John P. Dennison and associates to keep transfers within law, and mentions contacts with ASCS officials before transfers. The report, shown to the AP, ties Estes to land sales, leasebacks, and illegal allotment transfers amid investigations into his dealings and a 1962 allotment withholding decision.
