Nelligan will be one of 48 members of Congress facing a Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigation for violating federal campaign laws, the Democratic Congression- al Campaign Committee announced today. Nelligan and his 47 GOP colleagues also could face an inquiry by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct for using official Congressional stationery to raise campaing funds. The basis for the complaint to be oe Friday with the FEC and the quest for an ethics committee inquiry is a letter that Nelligan and the 47 Republican freshmen signed. The letter bearing Nelligan’s signa- ture was dated October 30 and mailed to numerous special interest groups’ poltical action committees (PACs). Ni In it, Nelligan and his GOP colleagues urge the PACs to support ‘‘pro-free enterprise business Republican challengers and in- cumbents.”’ “Many of us would not now be serving in Congress were it not for your PAC’s campaign contribution last year,” Nelligan said in the letter, a candid statement on the in- creasing dependence some “I buy dometic to support the local economy, said Janice Mattioli of Trucksville. “I do not feel it is patriotic or anything, but I think buying American helps improve the economy.’’ { “I buy American make clothing because I do not go for designer jeans and shirts,” said Bill Allen of Dallas. “It may be a bit hard for ‘domestic products to compete with foreign products these days, but I Photos and tex tby usually buy American; last sum- : mer I bought a stereo which was Glen Hoffman | = “made in America.” Nelligan and his colleagues will be named in a complaint to be filed with the FEC FRiday by the Demo- cratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). The Pennsyl- vania freshman and the others also could be the targets of a House ethics panel inquiry requested by Congressman Tony Coelho (D-CA), chairman of the DCCC. The complaint, to be filed Thursday, Dec. 17, with the FEC requests an investigation into whether the letter violates federal law because it does not identify who paid for and authorized the mailing nor has the group of GOP legis- lators filed with the FEC as a political committee. “I buy American products becuase people are always com- plaining about the increased foreign Richard Tattersal of Pikes Creek is being sued for $584.50 for removing his repaired garbage truck from Hibert’s Equipment and Welding Co., in Dallas, before the repair bill was paid. The civil suit, which demands payment for a $556.50 welding repair bill, along with a $28 court fee, was filed with Magistrate Leonard Harvey last week. Tattersal was to have been charged with criminal theft of services. However, according to Dallas Borough Police Chief Ed Lyons, “as the matter now stands it is a civil dispute, a matter of one person not paying another.” Tattersal said he wasn’t aware a suit had been filed. He did say that Seekar Enterprises, of which he is an owner, had one of its garbage packers in -Hilberts for repair on tow occassions. “I will have to look into exactly what has happened in these tran- sactions,”’ he said. A spokesman at Hilbert Welding declined to comment on the case. The hearing is scheduled for Dec. 30 at 10:45 a.m. John Baur and his sons had the Christmas spirit when they closed up their hobby shop and video ar- cade on Memorial Highway in Dallas sometime after 11 Thursday night. But Friday morning, Mr. Baur was pretty disgusted. Someone stole about $600 worth of Christmas trees. ‘‘We had around 75 trees when we closed and at 7:30 this morning we had about 20,” said Mr. Baur. “Someone came in her during the night with a truck and just hauled them away.” He said the trees belonged to his sons, Eddie, Michael, and Walter, and was a way of making money for them. He said he is hopeful that people who buy trees somewhere might think of them as being ‘‘hot”’. “Someone, somewhere has a load of trees that doesn’t belong to them, and someone, a mother or. wife, might just wonder where they came from,” Mr. Baur said. ‘I am looking forward to an inter- esting year as president of the board,” said William Dierolf, newly-elected president of the Dallas School Board. “In the four meetings we have had to date, I have had nothing but bers.
