Only Senate leaders are fur-

Ieluding committee chairmen,
are obliged to
provide their

There is, how-

The car carries the Connec-
ticut license tag, "U.S. SEN.
1." but the registration is made
out to Dunbar Associates, Inc.,
of 54 Pane Road, Newington,
Conn.
The Senator has been driv-
ing the Dunbar Co. car ever
since July, 1964. He wrote a
thank-you letter, carefully
marked "personal," to David
Dunbar, the company presi-
dent, on July 23, 1964. "I want
you to know how deeply grate-
ful I am to you for the wonder-
ful assistance which you have
given me," wrote Dodd, "The
car is just great, and it sure
gets me around."
Soon after the car arrived,
Dodd began scouting around
for government contracts for
Dunbar Associates. He made
inquiries at the Atomic Energy
ides EMdd C STATINTL
Commission and Government
Printing Office.

The Senator was less suc-
cessful, however, with the pub-
lic printer. He turned this
project over to Gerry Zeiller,
a former assistant, who in-
vestigated whether Dunbar
could get the contract to move
the Government Printing Of-
fice to a new building,
Last June, Zeiller received
a note from the Senator's
private secretary, Doreen Mo-
lonoy,
"Dave Dunbar called and
wanted me to check with the
Senator about setting up a
luncheon next week with Jim
Harrison of Government Print-
ing," wrote Miss Moloney.
"The Senator said to check
with you, and I suppose, if
you give the go-ahead, the
luncheon can be set up."
Zeiller learned that the
Printing Office wouldn't be
moving into its new quarters
for several years, and that all
contracts would be handled by
the Joint Congressional Com-
mittee on Printing.
"In view of this," replied
Zeiller in,a memo, "I am sure
there will be very heavy polit-
