Abstract: | This paper examines the instrumental networks established between organized criminals and national politicians. Its major
focus centers on the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Department of Labor, and the Reagan Administration. We explore
the organized crime influence that affected President Reagan's selection of Raymond Donovan as Secretary of Labor. The choice
of Donovan resulted in several related investigations into Donovan's association with organized criminals primarily in the
construction industry in New Jersey and New York. We explain and critique the investigations thereby establishing the instrumental
quality of the networks and the politics of law enforcement.
