Top Leaders Split Over Public Disclosure Of Senators Finances
Senate leaders split over an ethics committee plan to require partial public disclosure of lawmakers finances. Dirksen called the proposal unworkable and offensive while Mansfield signaled support for stronger disclosure. The ethics panel would require most staff and senators earning over 15000 a year to file two statements one public detailing income sources and gifts and a sealed one with tax returns and liabilities.
