Well, you certainly got me there! I had no idea Reagan lobbied for GE. I knew he was president of the screen actor’s guild, and could have represented them in Washington. But to me that is not the same as being hired by an unrelated company to lobby the government for them.

At the time, GE was closely tied with the film industry. I believe it was officially GE he was working for when he was lobbying for and later testifying on the Taft-Hartley Act.
