LETTERS, Page 9Reforms for RICO
I would like to add to your article on the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act (LAW, Aug. 21). Reform of RICO's
civil provisions is supported not only by accountants and
securities and commodities dealers but also by the American Civil
Liberties Union, the AFL-CIO, bankers, manufacturers and thousands
of other Americans who stand to be branded as "racketeers" because
an artful lawyer can turn virtually any dispute into a RICO
lawsuit. The Securities and Exchange Commission also supports
reform of the RICO law. Congress is considering two bills to reform
civil RICO. They should be enacted as quickly as possible to return
RICO to its original purpose: the pursuit of real racketeers.
