February 4, 1980 COMPILED (UPI)--A videotape made by a hidden camera shows a member of Congress nervously trying to stuff $50,000 into his pockets. He turns to FBI agents posing as bribe-paying aides to an Arab chief and asks if any of the cash is showing. The scene is one of dozens that sources say were recorded by the FBI in a stunning two year investigation described as the largest ever involving members of Congress. Details of the probe began to surface today, implicating one Senator, seven House members and about 20 other public officials in payoffs of -K11 nearly $700,000. Sources say Congressional members accepted several hundred thousand dollars in cash--often in lump sums of $50,000. Among those investigated were Senator Harrison Williams, Jr., a New Jersey Democrat. House members include John Jenrette of South Carolina, n'Y - ( Richard Kelly of Florida, John Murphy, New York, Frank Thompson, Jr. of New Jersey, and Raymond Lederer, Michael Myers and John Murtha, all of Pennsylvania. All but Kelly are Democrats. Sources told UPI late today that the evidence would likely be presented to grand juries in the coming weeks in New York, Newark, Washington and Philadelphia. Sources say neither Williams nor Murtha actually accepted bribe money and some of the other Congressmen may have taken bribes through aides or other intermediaries. But they say all eight members under investiga- tion made some agreement to trade their influence to the. bribe-paying undercover agents. The question of entrapment, in which suspects are lured into breaking the law, is likely to be a burning question any criminal trials resulting from the FBI investigation. Justice Depart officials say they are confident that members of Con- gress will be unable to prove thay were trapped in incriminating cir- cumstances.
