Report says Capitol
drug probe botched
WASHINGTON (AP)-The
congressional police force failed in 1980
to pursue "substantial leads" about drug
use and trafficking on Capitol Hill, a
special House investigator said yester-
day. r
Joseph Califano said the leads im-
plicated low-level congressional em-
ployees and three Capitol Police of-
ficers but no member of Congress or its
professional staff.
CALIFANO said his investigation of
a drug probe conducted by the police
from 1980 to 1982 also turned up instan-
ces of document destruction and con-
flicting testimony by police officials.
He said in a 48-page report that his
findings involve only that particular
drug probe, not the broader allegations
of drug use by congressmen and staff.
He began investigating those
allegations last summer for the House
ethics'committee.
"This is not a report on our basic drug
investigation," the special counsel told
a news conference. "That investigation
is continuing."
