Scott declines to seek re election after 33 years in Congress
Hugh Scott, 75, announces he will not run again, ending a 33 year congressional career in a Pittsburgh dinner setting. The Philadelphia lawyer served 16 years in the House and 17 in the Senate as Minority Leader since 1969 while facing Gulf Oil cash contribution allegations. He will campaign for Ford in 1976 and remains a potential future voice at the Republican convention.
