Thornburgh tests on fraud legislation in House
Atty Gen Dick Thornburgh told the Senate Judiciary Committee that House moves on fraud bills would hamper the administration by delaying anti fraud efforts. He praised the Senate bill but opposed a national commission on financial crimes and expansion of Secret Service jurisdiction. The FBI should lead S&L fraud prosecutions, he said, as Senate funding boosts prosecutors and agents for these cases. Seidman noted S&L abuses spreading from the Southwest to the Northeast and Florida.
