Thanks; though I'm sure there's lots of digging left to do yet, LOL! There's a whole history of Democrat oil scandals which largely goes undiscussed in the midst of the left's single-minded obsession with the notion that the oil business is a Republican monopoly. I've yet to put together the pieces myself, but I believe researching these figures would be a step towards putting the big picture together:
Armand Hammer (who was, not coincidentally, a central conduit for Soviet money to the US Communist Party)
Averell Harriman
Harold Ickes (father and son)
Lyndon Johnson
J. William Fulbright
Clark Clifford
Lloyd Bentsen
Al Gore
Mary Landrieu
And of course the present subject, Oscar Wyatt
Among others, undoubtedly.
