Former congressman turns to lobbying for pay
Former congressman Harold C. Hollenbeck, a Bergen County Republican with three terms, left the House in 1982 to work as a lobbyist. He says his insider access earns him about 70,000 this year, topping his 1982 salary, and that his decade in Congress helps him open doors and obtain early information for clients like Dow Chemical, American Express, and Haiti. He notes lobbying centers on access to offices, staff contacts, and timely knowledge, and expresses no moral qualms about representing diverse viewpoints for a fee.
