As a ten-year campaign stalwart for former Governor Endicott "Chub" Peabody, O'Neil was rewarded in the mid-'60's with a position on the three-member Boston Liquor Licensing Commission.

One example cited: six employees of the labs at Research Triangle Park, N.C., experienced nausea, headaches and sore throats after exposure to acid fumes last year, but none were given follow-up medical tests. In a Denver facility, workers were found to be regularly breathing dangerous dust particles and noxious gases. The revelations of environmental hazards in its own labs plainly embarrassed the EPA.
