ACTION: `COVERUP' AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC TELEVISION STATIONS!

The Empowerment Project's award-winning documentary ``Coverup:
Behind the Iran-Contra Affair'' is being offered by the Central
Educational Network to PBS stations nationwide. Directed by
Barbara Trent, this carefully-researched film tells the
compelling story of:

* the first arms sale to Iran in 1980 and the Reagan/Bush
campaign's pre-election deal to delay the release of the 52
American hostages.

* the history of CIA involvement in drug running from the
Vietnam/heroin era to the Central American/cocaine epidemic.

* the ``shadow government'': assassins, arms dealers, drug
smugglers, former CIA operatives, and top military personnel.

* the bombing of the press conference in La Penca, Nicaragua, and
the Christic Institute's subsequent racketeering lawsuit.

Please tell your local public TV program managers that there is a
