The real reason Tom Daschle didn’t run for president
By Doug Ireland Thursday, Jan 16 2003
The national press corps didn‘t bother to tell you why Tom Daschle, the Democrats’ Senate leader, decided at the
11th hour not to run for president: In the end, he calculated that he couldn‘t survive scrutiny of his persistent
service to the clients of his wife. Linda Daschle has been one of the airline industry’s top lobbyists for two decades
-- when she wasn‘t busy running the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which explains why, just 11 days
after the 911 attacks, her husband rushed through the Democratic Senate, which he controlled, the $15 billion
bailout for the airline industry, a notorious taxpayer rip-off.
Right after then-Congressman Tom Daschle dumped his first wife for a younger, prettier one, the former Miss
Kansas Linda Daschle went to work as chief lobbyist for the Air Transport Association, the airline industry’s main
lobby; she then became the senior vice president of the American Association of Airport Executives; and these
days hangs her hat at the pricey top Washington lawlobby shop Baker, Donelson, Bearman & Caldwell, headed by
former GOP Senate leader and ex--Reagan chief of staff Howard Baker -- where she peddles influence on behalf of
a long list of lucrative aviation clients. The clients for whom Linda lobbied brought more than $5.86 million into
Baker, Donelson in one three-year period, including Northwest Airlines ($870,000 from 1997 through 2001) and
American Airlines ($1.26 million in fees). Northwest was already teetering on the edge of bankruptcy even before
911. American, which has had six fatal crashes since 1994 (not counting 911) and has been repeatedly fined by the
FAA for a skein of safety violations, had the reputation as the most unsafe major U.S. carrier.
Yet these two clients of Linda Daschle‘s got nearly $1 billion from the airline bailout her husband pushed into law
-- thanks to which Northwest (which was the second largest contributor to Senator Daschle’s 1998 campaign, and
which scooped up $404 million in government cash) actually posted a $19 million profit in the third quarter after
the twin-towers attacks. And, as the lone senator to vote against the bailout, Illinois GOPer Peter Fitzgerald,

2. decried, “The only people who got bailed out were the shareholders. The 1 million airline employees were left
twisting in the wind.” So much for the populist noises that occasionally come from Senator Daschle‘s mouth. The
Daschles also made sure that the bailout exempted American (which has consistently lobbied against tougher
airline safety standards) and other carriers with lousy safety records from any real liability to lawsuits from the
families of 911 victims. Moreover, the General Accounting Office found that the airline industry’s representations
to Congress to secure the bailout overstated its anticipated losses from 911 by as much as $5 billion.
Before 911, Senator Daschle pushed through the sleazy deal in the backrooms of Capitol Hill that forced the FAA
to buy defective baggage scanners from one of Linda‘s other clients, L-3 International (from which Linda’s firm
raked in $440,000 in the ‘97--’01 period). Under a provision Linda‘s husband had slipped into the 2000 budget for
the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the FAA was required to buy one of L-3’s scanners for every one it
purchased from the company‘s competitors. The L-3 scanners were found to be substandard by DOT’s inspector
general; FAA tests of the scanners showed high failure rates; and most have not yet been installed because of their
defects (the one at the Dallas--Fort Worth airport -- another of Linda‘s clients -- leaked radiation), which is a major
reason DOT says it won’t be able to screen all luggage for explosives for years to come.
In one of those corporate-coddling moves for which the Clinton administration became infamous, President Bubba
appointed Linda Daschle deputy administrator of the FAA, putting her in charge of regulating her once-and-future
clients; and she wound up running the agency as acting administrator. This, of course, significantly boosted the
Daschle family income by hyping the amount Linda could charge her clients when she left government service.
She didn‘t wait long to cash in. Example: While running the FAA, she awarded Loral Space Technologies (a major
Democratic contributor that figured in the ’96 campaign-finance scandals) a nearly $1 billion contract from the
federal government; after Linda passed through the revolving door to Baker, Donelson, Loral paid the lobby shop
$740,000 in 2000-2001 for Linda‘s services. When the FAA was pondering making mandatory a criminal-
background check for all airport employees, Linda, who was then running the agency, vigorously opposed this
common-sense move -- echoing the position of the airline-industry lobby that had previously employed her.
A particularly odiferous episode involved charges that the senator and his wife had tried to sabotage safety
inspections of an air-charter firm owned by Murl Bellew, a Daschle family friend who taught Tom how to fly. The
scandal erupted and triggered an official investigation when a Bellew small plane chartered by the Indian Health
Service crashed in North Dakota, killing the pilot and three doctors en route to an Indian-reservation clinic. Forest
Service inspectors had been arguing that Bellew’s firm should be banned from getting government contracts
because the operation had been unsafe for years. Senator Daschle obligingly pushed legislation taking the Forest
Service out of the business of inspecting small-plane carriers, and senior FAA bureaucrats said Linda had also tried
to submarine a proposal to train Forest Service inspectors to conduct FAA investigations. An FAA inspector
reported a cover-up: Documents showing the Daschles‘ assiduous efforts to minimize inspections of Bellew’s
planes were shredded by FAA officials under Linda‘s thumb. While an I.G. report failed to find Linda guilty of
any lawbreaking, there’s an old saying in Washington: The scandal isn‘t what’s illegal, the real scandal is what‘s
legal.
It’s a sign of how lazy, blinkered and source-coddling the Beltway‘s national press corps is when one considers
that none of all this made the dissections of the senator’s presidential withdrawal -- even though a tough piece by
the Washington Monthly‘s Stephanie Mencimer in the January 2002 issue laying out much of it was still on
newsstands. As she observed, “It doesn’t take Lee Atwater to see how Mrs. Daschle‘s professional life might play
out in a nasty re-election or presidential campaign: ’Sen. Daschle‘s wife lobbyist for nation’s most dangerous
airline,‘ or ’majority leader‘s wife lobbied to make airlines less safe.’”
Linda Daschle has tried to pooh-pooh her obvious conflicts of interest as an influence peddler, telling The New
York Times last August that the staff members she lobbies “are pretty junior and may or may not know who I am”
-- a mind-boggling, risible assertion. But her senatorleader husband has always refused to make public his and his
wife‘s tax returns, despite repeated press requests. As a presidential candidate, Tom Daschle could not have
avoided giving the press a look at those returns -- which would have spelled out just how much cash Linda brings
in from her clients.

3. And that, children, was the ticking time bomb that would inevitably have exploded if the senator had sought the
White House -- and is the bottom-line reason he chose not to run.
