Adams Defends Actions Amid FTC Inquiry Hearings
Former congressman Adams told a House subcommittee he had no intent of wronging the government as he defended routine calls to the FTC and SEC on behalf of friend Bernard Goldfine. He said gifts from Goldfine and hotel bills were personal, not political leverage, and urged prudence to avoid improper influence. He acknowledged a 1954 inquiry that aided Goldfine may have breached law, but insisted he acted in good faith and under no improper influence.
