Mrs. Charlotte P. Reese testified before a House subcommittee that former Attorney General John N. Mitchell and acting Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst pressured Parole Board Chairman George J. Reed in 1970 to grant parole to Thomas F. Johnson, a former Maryland congressman serving a six month sentence.
