Summary
In the editorial "The probers and the NEA" (Wednesday), you state that the National Education Association has been "reluctant" to reveal its activities to its more than 2.7 million members, and the article refers to certain documents that were "unearthed" by Mark R. Levin, president of the Landmark Legal Foundation. These "unearthed" documents are NEA's detailed budget reports that we distribute annually to more than 20,000 NEA members, leaders and staff. The short of the matter is that no organization does more than we do to keep our members fully informed about our activities and expenditures.
NEA does, indeed, pursue "a robust political agenda," but, contrary to Mr. Levin's assertion, "it does so within the rules that govern tax-exempt organizations." That has been the conclusion reached by the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission in previous investigations, and we are confident that it will be the conclusion reached by the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service when their current investigations are completed.See the full content of this document
