20. Ran an "Import/Export Business for two years...

"Following that posting, he moved to Bangkok and operated an import/export business in the private sector for the next two years. In 1978, he returned to the United States and started working as an aide to Republican Senator Bob Dole.

Wonder what he was privately importing and exporting.

BTW: I didn't read the wiki...just your snip...but, wasn't Bob Dole involved in that Bank Fiasco... Was it Riggs Bank? Or another bank caught working with CIA and money laundering. There was some big whoopie do about Dole's involvement some years back but can't remember if it was Briggs or another bank.
