Nixon landscaping costs questioned by House panel
A House government activities subcommittee questioned GSA over spending of 3.6 million on landscaping and changes around President Nixon’s California and Florida homes. Officials claimed work stayed within the law, while critics said it devalued properties and did not improve appearance or security. The total landscaping outlay was part of roughly 10.1 million in government spending at the two residences and surrounding facilities, with about 5.7 million by the Defense Department.
