Most of the Government's case rested on information provided by Jake Jacobsen, a Texas lawyer who was once an aide in the Johnson White House and who had long been Connally's friend. Jacobsen faced numerous charges of fraud and perjury. In plea bargaining, these charges were dropped; but he pleaded guilty to a single count of bribery and agreed to testify against Connally. He maintained that during a talk in Connally's office at the Treasury Department on April 28, 1971, Connally asked for money for himself in return for his help in persuading President...
Lending some credence to Jacobsen's account were travel and telephone records confirming the dates on which he said he had seen or called Connally.

Jacobsen points to research as one essential weapon in this battle of persuasion: USG members will present administrators with a study of the costs and benefits, for instance, of the parking lot conversion, and hope for a favorable decision...
