Early life and career

He attended Manteca High School and graduated from Modesto Junior College in 1936.[1] He then graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1938, and obtained his law degree from the UC Berkeley School of Law in 1941. His career as an attorney was interrupted by service in the Army Security Intelligence Corps from 1942 to 1946, where he was stationed in the United States and became a sergeant.[1]

In 1948, McFall became a Manteca councilman. He was elected to the state assembly in 1951 and served there until his election to the United States Congress in 1956.

Congress

McFall served eleven terms in Congress, but lost his bid for re-election to a 12th term in 1978 and resigned on December 31, 1978.

Koreagate

Congressman McFall, along with other elected officials, was reprimanded for his role in the influence peddling scandal that came to be known as Koreagate.[2]
