Oilman Hess funds Jackson with secret gifts in 1972 race
Senate Watergate records reveal Sean Hess of Amerada Hess Corp funneled about 225000 to Senator Henry M. Jackson via proxies while masking donor identities. Additional disclosed cash gifts, including 166000 in secret cash and 50,000 from Walter R. Davis, show intertwined backing with Nixon and Humphrey campaigns before a 1972 disclosure law took effect.
