PRESIDENT: Pursuant to the unanimous action of the most recent AFLCIO Convention. I am forwarding. under the cover of this letter. a copy of the Convention Resolution calling on "the Attorney General to grant bail to Joseph Doherty and. ultimately political asylum". As the Resolution states In more detail. the nearly eightyear incarceration of Joseph Doherty in federal prison even though he "has never been convicted ofnor even charged withthe commission of any crime in this country" and even though "federal immigration judges have consistently rendered decisions In [his] favor... and against the government." raises the most serious civil liberties issues. I speak for every delegate to the AFLCIO Convention and all the working people those delegates represent In asking you to give Mr. Dohertys case your personal attention.
