Seems pretty well established. ttp://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/04/26/gop.money/ escerpt below: And the proceeds, it says, were "sent immediately to the (Republican National Committee)," where the loan "provided last minute-cash for tight house races" in the 1994 election. Republicans gained control of Congress in that election. After the election, according to the magazine, Ambrous Young was shown around Washington by Barbour and introduced to Sen. Bob Dole and Rep. Newt Gingrich as they were taking over leadership of the Senate and House. A year later, Time says, Young escorted Barbour when the latter met with Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen. A year after that, in the last weeks of the 1996 election, Time says, the GOP let the Forum default on $1 million still owed on the loan rather than divert money from congressional campaigns. Young threatened to sue and got $500,000 from the Republicans, but lost the other $500,000.
