American Airlines admits illegal campaign donations to Nixon
American Airlines publicly acknowledged making illegal corporate contributions to President Nixon's 1971 and 1972 campaigns after Herbert Kalmbach requested $100,000. Chairman George A. Spater detailed $75,000 paid in five installments with the first four from noncorporate sources and the final $55,000 from corporate funds. Cox called the admission a potential mitigating factor but warned officers could face charges. Spater took full responsibility, noting the timing amid a pending merger with Western Airlines that CAB later rejected. Common Cause seeks disclosure ahead of the 1972 law change.
