Koreagate
probe
virtually
concluded
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The House
investigation into charges South Korea
bribed congressmen to influence
legislation virtually ended yesterday
with special counsel Leon Jaworski
maintaining he could do no more
without testimony from a key, hold-out
witness.
Jaworski, who has been the House
ethics committee's special counsel in
the Korean probe since last July, said
the investigation, though incomplete,
would serve as a "serious warning" to
members of Congress to keep their
noses clean in dealing with foreign
agents.
THE SPECIAL counsel stopped short
of saying he was quitting.
"It's not a resignation. If there is
anything else that comes up, I'll be
available," Jaworski, the former
Watergate prosecutor, said in Houston.
What finally thwarted the in-
vestigation was the inability of officials
to obtain the testimony of Kim Dong Jo,
the Korean ambassador from 1967 to
1973, who, witnesses said, dispensed
envelopes stuffed with $100 bills to
perhaps 10 present members of
Congress.
ACCEPTING CASH from Kim, an
agent of the South Korean government,
would have been a clear violation of
House rules.
"I very much wanted to get Kim
Dong Jo," Jaworski said.
"It just didn't work out. I have
nothing further to do. That just ended
the inquiry. There was nothing else to
do. He was the sole witness left."
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill an-
nounced Thursday the Korean gover-
nment had turned down a last-ditch ef-
fort to let two members of the ethics
committee meet with President Park
Chung Hee and try to persuade him to
let Kim testify.
