Senate says FBI blocked Labor probe into Presser
Senate witnesses say FBI agents with Justice Department knowledge undermined a Labor Department inquiry into Teamsters President Jackie Presser. They cite 1985 decisions to drop details of his ties to the FBI and a 700000 salary scheme for ghost workers, as the probe was reopened and related investigations continue. A NASA Nike Orion failure near White Sands marks a separate space program setback.
