Did you apply for a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation scholarship from Eddie Bernice Johnson?

Gillman:
We've had tremendous feedback from our reporting over the last few days about the scholarships awarded by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson to her grandsons, great-nephews and two kids of her top Dallas aide. There's been a lot of reader input to the effect that her claim to have awarded at least some scholarship money to every single qualified applicant is, in the readers' eyes, dubious. There are some readers who doubt that Johnson is the only lawmaker to have violated the rules.

If anyone out there has relevant information, please contact me.
