Democrat Abraham Ribicoff, chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, which in January had unanimously confirmed Lance as OMB Director, and the ranking Republican, Charles Percy, visited Carter on Labor Day. They told waiting reporters, who had been tipped off about the visit by senatorial aides, that they had learned of "new allegations of illegality" against Lance.
