(An Italian-based scandal, interwoven with this, was the Roger D'Onofrio Affair, subject of Reuters and other wire
service stories not well-publicized in the U.S. These stories, under a Rome dateline, early in Dec. 1995, mentioned
for example, that the Archbishop of Barcelona, Spain, was accused by Italian authorities of being a kingpin in using
the Vatican Bank for these illicit doings, incl sale of osmium nuclear bomb triggers. In our series on reenspan/Bush,
we showed documents how the Bush Family laundered huge sums through a bank in Malaga, Spain.)
Upwards of $75 million clandestine funds of Jeb Bush, brothers Geo.W. & Neil, and their father reportedly
have been parked through Chicago unit of major French bank Credit Lyonnais. Reportedly acting as "laundry lady"
& surrogate for these funds through Credit Lyonnais has been Katherine Harris, in recent years Florida
Secretary of State. In her position, she controls & supervises the filing, or, reportedly on occasion, concealing,
corporate data & charters and annual reports, on the basis of corporations considered domestic to Florida or
listed as "foreign"corporations, actually meaning corporations domiciled elsewhere in the U.S. In that capacity, she
has reportedly sought to keep secret records, known however to John Millis, relating to the "shell" companies
operated as part of the massive swindling of her boss, Gov. Jeb Bush, his two brothers, and their father.
Bendib met Alex Odeh at USC. After Odeh was killed by a bomb in 1985, Bendib vowed that someday he would
create a lasting memorial to the regional director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). The
concept of a statue incubated for years. No sooner did Bendib take his sketches of the statue to Odeh's widow,
Norma, and to radio personality and Arab-American activist Casey Kasem, than the project was underway. With
Kasem spearheading a national fund-raising campaign, within one year the statue of Alex Odeh was erected in
Santa Ana, the county seat of Orange County, and the city where he was assassinated.

fiercely proud of his Algerian heritage, but owing to the revolution then taking place in his homeland, his
mother gave birth to him in Paris. While many youngsters were memorizing the Qur'an in Algeria, Bendib, whose
father was a physician, was drawing, molding clay, and sketching. He sold his first cartoon to an Algerian
newspaper when he was 15. Physically, he stands out in a crowd because of his towering 6'4" height.

Bendib came to California in 1973 to study for a bachelor's degree in geology from the University of Southern
California. In order to comply with U.S. residence requirements he remained on the USC campus, earning two
master's degrees—one in geology, the other in Eastern Asian languages and cultures—and had entered a Ph.D.
program in comparative literature when he landed a job with Gannett Co. as an editorial cartoonist in 1987. He
became a U.S. citizen in 1992.

In 1980, the House Select Committee on Intelligence determined that the CIA had no advance knowledge
of the mass murder-suicide. The year before, the House Foreign Affairs Committee had concluded that cult leader
Jim Jones "suffered extreme paranoia." The committee. now known as international relations, released a 782-page
report, but kept more than 5,000 other pages secret. Geo. Berdes, chief consultant to the committee at the time of
the investigation, told the San Francisco Chronicle the papers were classified to assure sources' confidentiality, but
he thinks it is time to declassify them.
