The Nation - News from March 15, 1988
The sentencing of former presidential aide Lyn Nofziger was postponed from March 25 until April 8 to give defense lawyers more time to study a report being prepared by the federal probation office. U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Flannery granted the defense request to delay the sentencing. The request was not opposed by independent counsel James C. McKay. Nofziger, who was White House political director from 1981 until early 1982, was convicted in Washington last month of three counts of illegally lobbying former Reagan Administration colleagues on behalf of clients. He faces a potential two-year prison term and a $10,000 fine on each count.
