SBA clipped for 135000 subsidy amid protest
A California campaign official for President Nixon secured a 135000 dollar SBA subsidy on a Navy contract to Aceco Tool Corp despite a review panel's 3-1 denial as excessive. The subsidy, 67.7 percent of the base price, was the agency’s highest in percentage terms, and Aceco's owner denied political influence. The House Banking Committee moved to bar outside influence on SBA loans as part of a bill extending lending authority.
