Thursday. October 20, 1977 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Jaworski accuses Korean government of 'buying off ' American congressmen WASHINGTON - House Ethics Counselor Leon Jaworski Wednesday accused the Korean government of trying"to buy off American congressmen," and witnesses said Seoul's former ambassador himself carted wads of $100 bills up to Capitol Hill. At the House Ethics Committee's first public hearings into the covert lobbying operation, Jaworski said he will not name any suspected payoff recipients for quite awhile but has enough evidence now to show money was offered and the South Korean regime was behind it. "The testimony and documents to be brought out will... lead to the reasonable inference that money was intended to be paid, and may in fact have been paid, to members of Congress," Jaworski said in his opening statement. He also said evidence will show that Tongsun Park, the fugitive Korean businessperson accused of running the bribery effort, claimed "great success" in influencing congressmen, although that assertion may have been "exaggerated." Laying out his case like a prosecuting attorney, Jaworski then introduced witnesses, including two former Korean government officials, who described a payoff operation conducted by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency through the Washington embassy starting in 1972 or 1973 news briefs Schleyer found dead MULHOUSE.
