Street NW Washington, DC 20463 January 16, 1996 To Whom It May Concern: On behalf of the Engel for Congress Committee, P.O. Box 60, Bronx, N.Y. 10463, I am filing the following complaints against the Wi'lie Colon for U.S. Congress Committee, P.O. Box 998 Corneil Station, Bronx, New York 10473 (FEC I.D. #C00295485). I In the October 15, Quarterly report filed October 15, 1994 under Schedule A page 5, (Exhibit A) Charles Hagedorn is listed as contributing a total of $2,000 to the candidate's primary campaign in violation of the Federal financing law which limits such contributions to only $1,000. 2 That the Willie Colon for U.S. Congress Committee did hire Johnson Surey Research a polling firm located at 850 Bronx River Road, Yonkers, N.Y., to conduct polls for his campaign (Exhibit B'). In no financial reports filed to date does any expenditure to this vendor appear. That the Wilie Colon for Congress Committee had ca7apa-rn "iterature printed which failed to have a disclaimer in __a-=... f the law (Exhibit C --hat the Willle Colcn for Congress Cmr:tee had . _ eratue printed wit. the disclalmer "Labor Donated" " - Exn 1- which :s in v oatcn f the .law. a A- . the- Wi- ""e Con for Congress C .e- - e a :uncrase: Ex7ih2: .. .. 2o nancial rep>ro -_ '" :he Cor.- = ooes a renta' fee -- the rom in whIC. -.,-aiser was he-d appear. s ef that-bel the -a: ......7......

No expenditure for the ad appears in any financial statement filed by the Willie Colon for Congress Committee. Failure to pay for the ad amounts to a corporate contribution by Hagedorn Communications, 662 Main Street, New Rochelle, New York 10801, the owner of the City News. In addition no disclaimer appears in reference to the ad only to the event. It you desire clarification of any of the above complaints, I can be reached at the Engel for Congress Committee, P.O.
