To the editor
President Reagan has de
clared May 13-19 National Po
lice week. During this time,
we honor those men and wo-,
men who daily risk their lives
to protect us from violent
crime.
The Congress should show
its gratitude to these officers
by passing the Law Enforce
ment Officers Protection Act.
This legislation, sponsored by
Senator Daniel Patrick Moy
nihan and Congressman
Mario Biaggi (a 23-year vet
eran of the New York City
Police Department who was
wounded 10 times in the line of
duty), would ban the manu
facture and sale of cop-killer
bullets-ammunition designed
to penetrate the bulletproof
vests worn by police. The bill
would also reauire a manda-

attention the Ballot Box Com

break down in the middle of

Norma Paulus was advised I
knew the computers were
checked one week before the
election and just prior to
starting the counting by a
citizen's group, However; in
the middle of the night when
the computer breaks down
there is no citizen committee
