Bobby Baker

Robert Gene Baker (born November 12, 1928) is a former political adviser to Lyndon B. Johnson, and an organizer for the Democratic Party. He became the Senate's Secretary to the Majority Leader. In 1962, he and a friend, Fred Black established the Serv-U Corporation which was designed to provide vending machines for companies working for programs established under federal grants. During the following year, an investigation was begun by the Democrat-controlled Senate into Baker's business and political activities. The investigation included allegations of bribery and arranging sexual favors in exchange for Congressional votes and government contracts. The Senate investigation looked into the financial activities of Baker and Lyndon Johnson during the 1950s. Baker resigned from his position in October 1963. The investigation of Lyndon Johnson as part of the Baker investigation was later dropped.
==Life==
Baker was the son of the Pickens postmaster and lived in a house on Hampton Avenue. He attended Pickens Elementary and Pickens High School, until he achieved an appointment when he was fourteen years old as a page of the US Senate with the help of Harold E. Holder.
In 1942, at the age of 14, Baker became a page for Senator Burnet Maybank,〔Caro, Robert A. (2003). ''The Years of Lyndon Johnson: Master of the Senate'', Vintage Books, p. 390.〕 and quickly became friends with several important Democrats. When Lyndon Johnson was elected to the Senate in 1948, he was told that Baker knew "where the bodies are buried," and established a close relationship with him.〔Caro (2003). p. 393.〕 Since the 1950s, Baker was a protégé of Lyndon Johnson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MOB STORY: The Vice President )
Baker was eventually promoted to the position of the Senate's Secretary to the Majority Leader, who at the time was a Democrat; this was his highest-ranking official position, as well as the position from which he would later resign. Prior to resigning, Baker had been a major power on Capitol Hill. He resigned eventually due to allegations of misconduct and a well-publicized scandal involving government contracts.
