Teamsters Union President Jackie Presser, whose health problems have led to repeated delays in his federal court trial on racketeering and labor fraud charges, agreed to submit to an
independent physical examination by a government-appointed doctor. Presser’s agreement to undergo the exam was disclosed at a court hearing in Cleveland at which U.S. District Judge George
W. White ruled that Presser and two associates will begin their trial on July 12. John R. Climaco, Presser’s defense attorney, told White that the union chieftain had no objection to the
medical examination in Washington on Feb. 26. Presser has been recuperating in Phoenix since October from the effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments after removal of a cancerous
tumor from his lung in January, 1987. MORE TO READ
