- 40 - With regard to Interrep and its relation to petitioner, an Ashland report to the Board of Directors dated June 26, 1975, in connection with an investigation of Ashland's political contributions, describes certain interactions between Ashland and Interrep but contains no reference to petitioner personally. There are only two documents in evidence that draw any link between petitioner and Interrep. The first document states that the $100,000 paid by Ashland to Interrep constituted "Prepayment of part of anticipated fees payable in respect to New York Venture". This document further states that there were four additional payments, as follows: Payee Date Amount Purpose J. J. Zand 6-6-73 $12,500 Fees related to Iranian participation project J. J.
