A fund-raising drive to finance the appeal and pay a back debt to the RLEP was authorized at the meeting of the Emergency Action Committee. So far, RLEP has spent about $48,000 on the case. Approximately $8,500 more is needed to pay the remainder owed the attorneys and to fundanappeal. Contributions should be sent to RLEP president Phil Irwin, Flint Hill.

Pat Saltonstall, Wit Kuncewicz and Ed Harris are co-chairman of the new Emergency Action Committee, authorized by an open membership meeting of the RLEP recently. □
