House Ethics Chairman Says He Was Not Lobbyed
Washington ethics chair Julian Dixon denies a law firm claim it contacted him in 1986 and 1987 to lobby for Duty Free Shoppers, saying the documents are erroneous. He asserts no discussions about the company occurred and he never aided its legislation. His wife holds a lucrative stake in a joint venture with the company, which operates stores at LAX. The firm was paid at least 1.4 million dollars over four years.
