    fflorotprttntt !a% (Eampua Vol. LXXVI No. 5 The University of Connecticut Tuesday, September 14,1982 Donovan probe: Prosecutor finds insufficient evidence NEW YORK (AP)—A special prosecutor said Monday that a renewed inquiry had again found "insufficient credible, evidence" to conclude that Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan associated with mobsters while he was a construction company executive. Prosecutor Leon Silverman said he had investigated various reports,, including allegations that Donovan had met with mobsters,funnelled Teamster union political contributions and been present when a kickback was offered. But Silverman said, "I continue to be concerned by the number of allegations" about Donovan's ties to organized crime. Donovan, in a brief statement from Washington, said, "It is tempting, and probably politically orthodox, for me to say how pleased and gratified I am that this entire matter can now be consigned to the historians. "But...I am not pleased and I am not gratified."he said. "Angry that I've had to endure months and months of relen- tless press coverage of groundless charges made by nameless accusers. Angry that my wife and children have suffered as only a family can suffer. Angry that my former business has been unfairly maligned. "I have always known that the charges against me were lies and I have told you so," Donovan said. "That is why I believe the public, with their American sense of fair play, shares my anger." The labor secretary took no questions from reporters. " In releasing his second report in three months, Silverman Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan gives thumbs-up after being cleared of any wrongdoing disclosed that two witnesses recanted allegations against |UPI photo].

  • Autumn 2000 Autumn 2000 Prochoice, Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion, Inc
    Dear reader, Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion continues to build on the strength of ProChoice IDEA, the action plan for that has made us the most effective countywide abortion rights organization in the state, if not the nation. By effective, I mean electing pro-choice candidates to office. ProChoice IDEA means ID for identification, E for education, and A for activation of pro-choice voters. This newsletter is part of the E, educating readers about the issues and the elected officials. The familiar yellow voting guide, listing WCLA’s endorsements for the November election, comes with the autumn issue of ProChoice. The pages provide information on abortion rights and the elections, Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion-PAC endorsed candidates, specific races, as well as current information about the choice issue. WCLA mails its newsletter free of charge to over 80,000 pro-choice households in Westchester and Putnam. Each issue of ProChoice costs WCLA around $25,000 to produce and mail. It’s expensive, but we believe it is extremely important to explain complex issues in clear and understandable language. Much of the information we report is not covered in the mainstream press or is buried deep in long articles. Of course, writing and editing are done in the WCLA office. Have you been doing your part to support Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion and ensure publication of ProChoice three times each year? (Your mailing label shows the date of your last dona- tion.) We hope you have, and will. Please make a donation today to Westchester Coalition for Legal Abortion, using the envelope inside.
