FEC Hides AFL-CIO MUR Public File
In the first instance ever at the Fed. Election Comm'n, a completed
Matter Under Review file was removed from the public record. It reportedly
included sworn statements from AFL-CIO president John J. Sweeney, AFL-CIO
secretary-treasurer Richard L. Trumka, ex-Teamsters political director
William W. Hamilton, and ex-Clinton-Gore advisor Tony Coelho as well as
others from the Clinton-Gore and many House campaigns. The files reportedly
include an exhaustive and detailed survey of union political activity and
a request for sworn answers from the Executive Office of the President.
