FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2002 A senior Department of Justice official is disputing a published report on the Bush administration's proposed settlement of a civil rights case. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Ralph Boyd said yesterday's Washington Post article on a hotel discrimination case was "wrong on all accounts," he is quoted by the paper as saying. The Post reported that Boyd wants to terminate a consent decree imposed on the Adams Mark hotel chain more than a year before it is set to expire. In response to the article, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked Attorney General John Ashcroft to explain how the decision came about. The paper wrote that the hotel owner boasted about his ties to Ashcroft and believed he could get better treatment. Get the Story:
