Exclusive debate over CRLA grant conditions and veto
Reagan vetoed the CRLA grant accusing the group of gross violations and misused funds. Abler’s report cites defense of Soledad Seven and labor dispute counsel as violations while previous grants barred union activity. Carlucci could impose conditions but must override the veto. Cranston’s delay adds political friction amid Medi California budget battles.
