As a senior executive at Wallace Expanding Machines, Brother Harrison earned a spot in the Standard and Poor's Directory of Corporate Executives. A clerical error in his listing said he was also the Chairman and CEO of US Natural Resources, Inc., a company that, in spite of its environmentally-friendly sounding name, was involved in clearing forests. On September 5, 1975, fanatic environmentalist and Manson disciple Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme went to a Gerald Ford rally to plead with him on behalf of her environmental causes. In the process she pointed a gun at Brother Ford, earning a life prison sentence for the attempted assassination of the President. In the ensuing investigation, authorities searched Fromme's apartment and found a mailing containing one of her rants. She used Brother Harrison's home as the return address due to what she thought was his involvement with USNR. A quick but exciting conversation with the FBI subsequently cleared Brother Harrison of any involvement.
