Percys Exploratory Committee Reflects Political Potency
Washington Percy reports show major donors including James Linen of Time Inc, United Auto Workers, and Chase Manhattan Bank contributing up to 3,808 dollars, with a total committee intake of 23,000 dollars and 17,000 spent on political consulting. Percy rejects Nixon’s opposition, aims to override vetoes, and touts “ability to win” as key to a 1976 GOP run while McCloskey critiques politics as a corrupt profession and laments party loyalty and compromises.
