...Kling, president of Landmark Bancshares of Missouri, who used to work with U.S. Trade Negotiator Robert Strauss, helped raise money for the gala. Acting on White House authority, he persuaded at least 13 companies and banks (including Xerox, Bank of America and Chase Manhattan Bank) to ante up 5,000 tax-deductible dollars apiece.
