racing and I may start a whole
new trend," says Benny Scott,

Sanford Attacks
Coruption in Gov.
t
I Democratic presidential candidate
Terry Sanford charged
Tuesday that "millions of dol
lars of taxnavers' monpv is going
down the drain because of
influence peddling and corruption
in government."
In a statement released from
his Durham headquarters, San-\
ford called for a crackdown on I
government corruption, urging I
immediate enforcement of the,
Corrupt Practices Act.
He also advocated the creation
of offices at each level of
government where citizens and
government workers could take
complaints of bribery and
wrong-doing without fear of
retaliation and harassment.
"In addition," Sanford con
tinued, "I think the White House
should intervene when a conscientious
employee is disciplined
for blowing the whistle on
waste and improper actions."
In criticizing waste in government,
he said, "We have reached
a point where having connections
in government is more
important than serving the people
and enforcing the laws. The
special Interests and lobbyists
are getting rich while the average
citizen is caught in a squeeze
play between high taxes and inflation."
'
Sanford pointed to the ITT ,
and Lockheed Aircraft cases as '
two examples of private inter- '
ests getting special favors from
government at the expense of
the public.
"The ITT case is only the tip j
of the iceberg," Sanford said.
"It is clear that nrivatp in. I
terests influenced the settlement |
of the ITT case, but the American
people have not been allowed
to hear the truth about what
happened, and the people have i
lost out while ITT continues to ,
grow bigger and bigger." (
Sanford said the Defense De- ,
partment paid Lockheed $1.1 \
billion more for the C5A air- ,
plane than the contract called ,
for," and when a conscientious
accountant reported the over- j
run to Congress, he was fired |
within 12 days. ,
"Furthermore, instead of pen- .
alizing Lockheed for its waste, j
the administration gave the company
a loan of $250 million to (
bail it out of financial trouble
? at the same time that it was |
vetoing money to put jobless |
people to work. (
