Some, not all! Clinton Will Give Indicted ImClone Chief's Donations to Charity Saturday, August 10, 2002 WASHINGTON — Reversing course, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she would donate thousands of dollars she received from indicted ImClone founder Sam Waksal to charity. Clinton and a soft money account set up on her behalf by Democrats received $33,000 from Waksal, campaign finance records show. Clinton will donate the $7,000 received by her Senate campaign and her political action committee to a charity that has yet to be determined, the New York Democrat's spokeswoman, Karen Dunn, said Friday. The remaining $26,000 was donated to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's New York Senate 2000, a soft money account set up on Clinton's behalf. "She recommends that they do the same," Dunn said. A spokeswoman for the DSCC said Clinton's request was being taken under advisement. "But our policy in the past has been once it's spent it's spent,'' Tovah Ravitz said. On Thursday, Dunn told the New York Post that Clinton "has no plans to return the money at this time.'' Dunn added that she did not believe that Waksal gave the senator any money this year. During her 2000 Senate bid, Waksal pumped $26,000 into the soft money account the DSCC set up for Clinton. He also chipped in the maximum allowable $2,000 to her election campaign account. Last year, Waksal donated another $5,000 to Clinton's political action committee, HILLPAC. Waksal, 54, was arrested in June on charges that he secretly advised family members to sell their ImClone stock on Dec. 27 after learning that his biotech company's cancer drug, Erbitux, had been rejected by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA decision was made public two days later. Earlier this week, Waksal was charged with obstruction of justice and bank fraud in addition to previous securities fraud and perjury charges. In the past, Clinton has handed over questionable campaign money. In January, Clinton said she would turn over nearly $8,000 in contributions from Enron and its accountant, Arthur Andersen, to a charitable fund set up to help employees of the bankrupt energy giant. A spokesman for Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Friday he would return his own $3,000 contribution from Waksal.

Those calling for U.S. Forces' continued presence in S. Korea assailed Pyongyang, August 11 (KCNA) -- The headquarters of the people's movement for the withdrawal of U.S. troops reportedly said that those calling for the U.S. troops' continued presence in south Korea should be condemned as an enemy of the Korean nation. The organization in a special statement Wednesday questioned why politicians including Ri Hoe Chang are siding with the U.S. Forces who refuse to transfer criminal jurisdiction though GIs deliberately drove an armoured car over schoolgirls to death and for what Chosun Ilbo is. The statement equated the quasi-peace activists calling for the continued presence of the U.S. troops in south Korea with the same criminals. We should clearly show the U.S. Forces and their followers what will happen when we get angry, statement warned, noting that the headquarters declared a war against the U.S. Forces. In the evening at least 300 students affiliated to the South Korean Federation of University Student Councils staged a surprise demonstration at an intersection in front of the Lotte department store in Seoul, denouncing the U.S. troops for their murder case. kcna.co.jp
