Excerpt:

 >Yesterday, Senator Barbara Boxer of California, a Democrat on the 
committee, distributed Finney's letter to reporters. An aide to Boxer 
said Democrats will push to include Finney's allegations in the list of 
claims to be probed.

In the letter, Finney said she was an attorney-adviser in the General 
Counsel's Office working on policies involving the UN Development 
Program when Bolton called her into his office in late 1982 or early 
1983. She wrote that Bolton asked her to persuade delegates from other 
countries to vote with the United States to weaken World Health 
Organization restrictions on marketing of infant formula in the 
developing world.

Finney said she refused because improper use of the formula can be 
deadly. For example, mothers in the developing world sometimes mix it 
with contaminated water or dilute it to make it last longer, 
humanitarian groups say.

Finney said that Bolton ''shouted that Nestle was an important company 
and that he was giving me a direct order from President Reagan." The 
Swiss company is among the top makers of formula.

''He yelled that if I didn't obey him, he would fire me," she wrote. ''I 
said I could not live with myself if even one baby died because of 
something I did. . . . He screamed that I was fired."<
