Moore Denies Influence in Miami TV Channel Case
Col George Gordon Moore brother-in-law of Mrs Eisenhower testified before the House committee that he had no interest in or influence over the FCC award of Miami TV channel 10 to National Airlines. He said any past connection with his in-law relationship was years ago and involved a Dominican Republic shipbuilding venture, not the Miami license. He stressed he acted voluntarily to clear his name and had no discussions with FCC members.
