CLINTON & NRA. President Clinton harshly attacked the National Rifle Association today in remarks to a police organization. Mr. Clinton said the NRA had not gone far enough in its apology for a fundraising letter in which it described federal agents as "jackbooted thugs". The President demanded that the NRA turn over all funds raised by the letter to families of slain officers. The NRA dismissed the criticism as politically motivated, and said the letter was one of its most successful fundraising efforts ever, generating more than 900,000 responses. NPR's White House correspondent Mara Liasson reports.(4:00) 2. NEW ERA. NPR's Jim Zarroli reports a bankruptcy judge in Philadelphia ordered the New Era Foundation to liquidate its assets, a day after federal officials accused the Pennsylvania-based foundation of running an elaborate pyramid scheme.

Reilly and Campbell have played together since high school in Northwest Pennsylvania.(7:00) =========================================================================== Funder :29 Silence :59 =========================================================================== ATTENTION STATIONS: -b- = button ______________________________________________________________________________ END 5/19/95
