Question:
?;wAfter Election Day 1972, Rebozo s t i l l maintained
possession of the Hughes contributions. Wre you aware

Answer:
Question:
I R e b o z o has te t i f ied that he did not see tha t the
1970 contributions were used in the congressional races
of tha t year because of the controversy between different
factions of the Hughes organization, part icularly in Nevada.
'pw Rebozo also indicated that for the same reason he didn ' t
put th e money into the 1972 election campaign. I f embarrass-
ment aris ing from the dispute between various factions of
the Hughes organization was the reason for not using or
returning the funds in 1970 and 1974 why were other contributions
sought from Hughes in April of 1972?
