Fund-Raiser Guilty for Foreign Donation
Miami business executive Howard Glicken, a veteran Democratic fund-raiser and friend of Vice President Al Gore, pleaded guilty to soliciting a $20,000 foreign contribution in 1993 for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Glicken is one of eight people charged by a Justice Department task force. He admitted requesting the $20,000 from a foreign national--who cannot donate to U.S. campaigns--then suggesting that the donation be made in the name of a legal donor. Sentencing is set for Nov. 24.
