Hays Linked to Swamp Land Deal Before House Committee
Testimony before the House committee on expenditures in the Department of Agriculture recounts Assistant Secretary Hays considering a personal investment in a Dismal Swamp development project in North Carolina. John Selp of Chillicothe, Ohio, testified he dropped the plan due to Wright's attitude and a proposed payment to secure Lake Mattamuskett land. The defense claimed Hays acted on personal grounds, with no official offer or intent to influence agency actions. The committee planned further testimony, with Hays likely to appear to clarify his position.
