Drinan mentioned to DiCara that he might be interested in a bill that Drinan is co-sponsoring with Senator Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) to lower the age requirement for congressmen from 25 to 22. DiCara...
...there are too many candidates competing in an uncertain situation for any of the high rollers to empty their wallets this early. In his brief, six-week run for the nomination, Fred Harris had been able to raise only $160,000 when he quit because he was bankrupt. Birch Bayh, before he dropped out of contention when his wife became ill, reportedly received $150,000 from Milton Gilbert, former chief executive of the Gilbert Flexi-Van Corp., and $50,000 or more from at least three other backers.

Like Powell, Rehnquist refused to answer many such questions either on the grounds of lawyer-client privilege or the possibility that any such answer might compromise later opinions as a Supreme Court justice. As Bayh mournfully conceded: "I don't believe that you can keep a guy off the Supreme Court on the basis of hearsay." Indeed, though liberals will probably stage a Senate floor battle, it is likely that President Nixon's nominee will be confirmed...
