HOUSTON (AP) - A federal pro-

"Our investigation is continuing.”

were charged through criminal infor-

"This is not the end of it.”
The 27, all employees or relatives of
employees of the Metropolitan Tran-

information about their work on ap-

for the stamp program is determined
by income.
The charges were connected to
$23,000 of food stamp coupons issued
between early 1981 and April.
The offense with which the 27 are
charged, illegally acquiring and

punished by a five-year prison
