Starr:  David Irving reports:   Dr William Pierce, chairman of the U.S.

David Irving reports:

Dr
William Pierce, chairman of the U.S. National Alliance, states (Wednesday, August 26, 1998) :

It is
true that the owner of a building in the Cleveland area
in which the National Alliance occasionally has held
meetings was indicted recently for racketeering and drug
trafficking, but this person has never been a member of
the National Alliance, and National Alliance members who
used the facilities in his building were unaware of his
alleged criminal activity.

National Alliance members do
not customarily check for criminal records of the owners
of motels, restaurants, bars, or other facilities when
they make arrangements for meeting places.

It will be appreciated if you will contact me for verification before publicizing any future allegations which reflect unfavorably on the National Alliance. Incidentally,
Lawrence Starr also is not and never has been a member of the National Alliance.

Sincerely,

William
L. Pierce Chairman,
National Alliance
