These articles were written by Jeff Morgan and Gene Ayres. I ask unanimous consent that they be reprinted in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD following my remarks today.

      • Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President, the articles detail the use of the $628 million pension fund for the personal gain of a few intimates of Jimmy Hoffa to finance deals involving Mafia and Mafia associates.
