Senate UKs Legislation Against Organized Crime
The seventh bill awaits later consideration while Kennedy calls the Senate action a major step forward in the war on crime. Provisions would make it federal crime to cross state lines to distribute illegal gambling, narcotics, liquor or prostitution proceeds and to ship betting machines across states where legal. It would criminalize transporting betting paraphernalia and include witness intimidation penalties and witness immunity for testifying before courts or grand juries. It would bar transmission of betting information by wire and close telephone lines for bookmaking operations. The Senate did not approve a measure to cross state lines to avoid prosecution for a state crime.
