Ailing former Teamsters President Roy Williams, serving a prison term since December, 1985, for conspiracy to commit bribery, will be paroled Tuesday on condition that he continue to cooperate with authorities in criminal investigations, the Justice Department announced today.

Williams has been confined to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo., with emphysema and heart trouble while serving his indeterminate sentence, which had a maximum of 10 years. Under an indeterminate sentence, the time of release from prison is left to the discretion of the parole commission.
