Ed ward Kennedy, D-Mass., has de nied a congressman’s suggestion that he used his influence to pre vent questioning of acting Atty. Gen. Richard Kleindienst in con nection with the Texas stock scandal, it was reported Thurs day. The report was the latest de velopment in a series of questions raised by Rep. Henry Gonzalez. The San Antonio Democrat has repeatedly blasted the immunity granted Houston financier Frank Sharp, a central figure in the scandal. He says Kleindienst should be questioned on this issue while being considered for the attorney general’s post. Gonzalez earlier had told the San Antonio News that he “could only assume” Kennedy had “pass ed the word” to senators in terested in probing Sharp's im munity to “forget about Frank Sharp.” The News said Kennedy was questioned about Gonzalez’s com ments in Washington. “It’s a complete lie,” the News reported Kennedy said. It quoted him as adding: “Sharp is a Demo crat. He’s been indicted ... this is a sheer fabrication.” Gonzalez earlier had said Ken nedy was a “bosom friend” of Claude Hooten, who is married to Sharp’s daughter. Kennedy acknowledged that Hooten is a close friend and was his roommate at Harvard, the News reported. Told of Kennedy’s reaction on the Kleindienst-Sharp issue, Gon zalez said Thursday that Ken nedy, therefore, should “take the lead” in questioning Kleindienst about what Gonzalez calls the “quickie deal” to grant Sharp immunity. Gonzalez has contended that the immunity arrangement was made to protect former Asst. Atty. Gen. Will Wilson, a Texas Democrat turned Republican. Wil son resigned from his Justice De partment post after coming under fire from Gonzalez for weeks. “I don’t think there is a history of a similar quickie deal in the annals of the Justice Depart ment,” Gonzalez said of the im munity. He said Wilson “had al ways blamed Kleindienst” and contended that Kleindienst had made the decision. Gonzalez said Sens. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., and John Tunney, D- Calif., had expressed an interest in airing the Sharp matter during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s consideration of Kleindienst’s ap pointment, but no such questions have been asked. Bayh and Tunney are members of the committee along with Kennedy. lying IT!
