"George Z. Bush" wrote in message ... I believe I've seen a copy on one posted on the Internet some time ago. The real question is how much influence was exerted by his father the Congressman to get it issued. Well, since his father wasn't a Congressman at the time, the answer has to be, "None". Even if he wasn't, that doesn't mean that he threw away the phone numbers of all those people he had influence with when he was in office. That kind of people would still be susceptible to a bit of informal or indirect pressure.....after all, none of them could be sure that an out-of-office congressman might not run for Senator or President some day, and it's always good to have some markers out for past favors given, isn't it. Although he was no longer a congressman in 1973, would you care to guess what position of political influence he occupied at that time? Would you believe "Chairman of the Republican National Committee"? Do you still think nobody would listen when he called? You may think the answer is "none" but politcally less-naive folks would probably welcome the opportunity to argue the point with you. Alas, the world of politics is not filled with Boy Scouts.
