United Press International
WASHINGTON — Most of the
congressmen who got campaign do
nations from businessman Tongsun
Park knew little about him or his
alleged connection with Korean
government interests, they or their
aides said yesterday.
Rep. Frank Thompson, D-N.J.,
for instance, “wouldn’t know
Tongsun Park if he rode in here on a
rickshaw,” an aide told UPI.
Thompson was listed as a 1970 re
cipient of $100 from Park in an in
dictment made public yesterday
which charged the South Korean
socialite with failing to register as a
foreign agent and trying to influence
congressmen with money, trips to
Korea and parties.
Neigher Thompson nor his staff
suspected Park was “a representa
tive of the government of Korea,”
the New Jersey congressman’s aide
said.
The indictment did not charge
the congressman with anything il
legal, since it was legal prior to 1974
to accept contributions from foreign
ers so long as they were not listed
as agents of foreign governments.
Rep. John Murphy, D-N.Y.,
listed as receiving $500 in 1970, said
he knew of the donation but did not
know Park at the time.
Rep. Eligio de la Garza, D-Tex.,
listed as receiving $500 in 1970, said
through an aide he did get such a
donation, but knew little about
Park. Park was once by the office to
see if rice grew in de la Garza’s dis
trict, and de la Garza went to one
Park party, his aide said, “and that’s
all.”
Rep. John Rrademas, D-Ind.,
was listed as receiving $500 in 1970.
The indictment also said Park gave
him $2,950 in 1974 to cover costs of
a fund raising reception at the
Georgetown Club.
Rrademas, in a statement, said he
welcomed Park’s indictment and
noted Assistant Attorney General
Benjamin Civiletti had said none of

ed in the indictment was under
investigation for illegal costs.
“Park never intimated to me that
he was an agent of the South Korean
government, nor did he make any
overtures to me on behalf of that
government,” said Rrademas.
“Moreover, my voting record has
been consistently hostile to the in
terests of the South Korean gov
ernment and I have been a strong
critic of that government’s repres
sive policies.”
Rep. William Broomfield,
R-Mich., listed as receiving $1,000
in 1970, has found no record of such
a donation, his office said.
An aide to Rep. Morris Udall,
D-Ariz., said Park made a $300 do
nation to the congressman’s 1970
campaign. The check was a legiti
mate donation, signed by “T. S.
Park,” and Udall did not know Park
at the time, his aide said.
Udall has been outspoken in his
opposition to “repression” by the
South Korean Government and if
the Park donation was intended to
make Udall a friend of the regime,
“it failed miserably,” he said.
Rep. Thomas Foley, D-Wash.,
was listed as receiving a $500 dona
tion in 1970. His aide said the dona
tion has been confirmed, but “we
did not know that he, Park, was ap
parently an agent of a foreign coun
try,” an aide said. The indictment
mentioned that Park once asked
Foley to send a letter — which Park
himself had drafted — to the Ko
rean government praising Park.
Foley refused to send the letter, his
aide said.
Sen. Harry Byrd, I-Va., was
listed as receiving $500 in 1970. An
aide said Byrd “had not known per
sonally of that donation” and the
name of the check, “T. S. Park,”
meant nothing to anybody on Byrd’s
staff at the time.
A spokesman for Rep. John
McFall, D-Calif., also noted there
was nothing in the indictment to in
dicate McFall ever knew Park was
“anything but a businessman.”
