George Spater, Chairman American Airlines. I was approached by Mr. Herbert W Kalmbach and asked to arrange for a contribution of $100,000 to the committee to re-elect the President. I was told that contributions of this amount would be regarded as in a special class. Since I knew that Mr. Kalmbach was the President s personal counsel as well as counsel to American s principle competitor, I decided that some affirmative response was necessary.

Senator Sam Levin talking to press. Reporter. Senator, have you given up on the President? Is that it? Senator Sam Levin. You know I m an optimistic person. I always hope that everybody will do what I think common prudence dictates that you do. Reporter. Well, is it common prudence for the President to just ignore you? Senator Sam Levin. I don t think so. I think the President should have made these tapes and memoranda available three months ago. Reporter. Is there anything else you might be able to do to jog him into action? Senator Sam Levin. Well, I m still hoping he will meet with the committee and let us ask him some questions. Reporter. Despite the fact that the White House just hasn t answered you? Senator Sam Levin. Yes, I still in hopes that people will do the right thing. Reporter. (Indistinct) yourself and Senator Baker. Senator Sam Levin. Well, I don t think I ll rule out anything on any invitation or say what I ll do on an invitation until I ve received the invitation. I ve got enough things to do without going into invitations that I have never received and may never receive.
