Pardoned Congressman Seeks Recovery of Fine
Former Congressman Frank Boykin seeks return of the $40,000 fine he paid after a 1963 conviction for conspiracy to defraud the United States. He says the pardon by President Johnson clears his record and restores civil rights, with the pardon effective the previous Monday. Boykin, 80, lives in Mobile and remains active in business with his four sons running Tensaw Land & Timber Co.
