...subway contract, Masselli was given a piece of the action. U.S. law requires that any contractor receiving a federal public works grant must award 10% of the business to minority-owned companies. Since 80% of Schiavone's contract was federally financed, the firm had to find a minority subcontractor. So Masselli created the Jo-Pel Contracting and Trucking Co. and claimed that at least 51% of it was owned by Joseph Galiber, a New York state senator who is black.

Federal investigators also failed to pass along all the information they had concerning allegations that Donovan's construction firm had cozy relations with a Mafia-dominated subcontractor. The FBI did give the Hatch Committee a 19-page memo about various claims that Schiavone had done business with racketeers, but contended that it could not determine whether the charges were true or false. Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department informed the committee that federal agents had been bugging the offices and tapping the telephones of one such mobster, William Masselli, for seven months before Donovan's confirmation.
