Democrats pay off 1968 campaign debts in retirement plan
The Democratic National Committee said it paid the last penny of 9.3 million dollars in 1968 debts run up by Robert F. Kennedy and Hubert H. Humphrey. The debt was extinguished with annuities purchased from AT and T Eastern Airlines Transworld Airlines and Emery Air Freight at a cost of 420,000 dollars. The party remains over 500,000 dollars in current operating debts and may assume up to 640,000 dollars left from Carter's 1980 campaign.
