Mrs. Clinton Takes Action On Behalf of Imprisoned Spy

By Elizabeth Bumiller

September 2, 2000, Saturday

By ELISABETH BUMILLER (NYT); Metropolitan Desk
Late Edition - Final, Section B, Page 5, Column 5, 761 words

Correction Appended

DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - Hillary Rodham Clinton quietly intervenes to save Jonathan Pollard, American convicted of spying for Israel, from transfer to a more dangerous unit of federal prison where he is serving life sentence; although action falls short of calling upon Pres Clinton to grant Pollard clemency, Mrs Clinton's Senate campaign is hoping that intervention will strengthen her support among Jewish voters

Correction: September 4, 2000, Monday Because of an editing error, an article on Saturday about Hillary Rodham Clinton's efforts on behalf of Jonathan Pollard, the convicted spy, misstated the date on which she met with the New York Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, and with Assemblyman Dov Hikind. It was Aug. 23, not Aug. 30. The article also misstated the date Mr. Hikind was informed of Mrs. Clinton's intervention. It was Aug. 26, not Sept. 1.
