Wolfowitz: Ethics Panel Knew of Pay Deal Source: Associated Press
Sunday April 29, 4:38 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) — Embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz plans to argue that the institution's ethics committee knew of his involvement in securing a promotion and pay raise for his girlfriend.
Wolfowitz, an architect of the Iraq war in his preceding Pentagon job, will cite a February 28, 2006, letter that his attorney characterizes as showing that bank's ethics committee had looked at the arrangement.
The panel's chairman, Ad Melkert, said in the "Dear Paul" letter that an allegation relating to "a matter which had been previously considered by the committee did not contain new information warranting any further review."
The letter didn't specifically mention Wolfowitz or his girlfriend, Shaha Riza, by name. However, Wolfowitz's attorney, Robert Bennett, said the letter is proof that Melkert was aware of Wolfowitz' role in securing the compensation package. "There is no question that he knew," Bennett said Sunday.
