Backing to Racketeer Bill in Congress
Senate backers of anti racketeering bills urged a crash program to curb college and professional sports crimes. Senator Eastland urged action on cases like current college basketball scandals while Senator Keating teams with the NCAA to draft a bill making bribery of college and amateur athletes a federal crime. Justice official Miller said he lacks authority to commit the department to any stance on such legislation. He testified for a broad program to fight organized crime, not tied to basketball scandals.
