                 CORRECTION -- CIVIL RIGHTS CASE


     TO REPORTERS:  The Justice Department issued a release
earlier today about three men who pleaded guilty to enslaving
migrant workers.  It inaccurately stated that the case was the
Department's fifth successful slavery prosecution within the past
two years.  Instead, it is the fourth case.
