Teamster pension official is mum with Senate panel

August 27, 1980

Former Teamsters pension fund trustee Roy Williams invoked the Fifth Ammendment Tuesday and refused to answer Senate investigators' questions about organized-crime connections and his influence over the $2.2 billion pension fund investments. One questionable investment was a low- yielding $17.5 million investment in early 1976 in the National Bank of Georgia, the bank of soon-to-be-appointed Budget Director Bert Lance.
