CD Sent by Hatch Destroyed by Mail Decontaminating Equipment
WASHINGTON, DC -- A CD of Olympics music featuring several LDS
performers was destroyed by mail decontaminating equipment last week
when Utah Senator Orrin Hatch tried to send the CD to Interior
Secretary Gale Norton. The copy of the CD "Light Up the Land" was
sent off to be decontaminated, and returned looking like it had been
put through a microwave.
"The end product was unfortunately that the
CD itself looks as if it was zapped in a microwave oven for just
under two hours and then thrown on a broiler and put on high heat for
just a while longer to finish it up," Interior spokesman Mark Pfeifle
said Monday. The CD included performances by Gladys Knight, Donny and
Marie Osmond and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Hatch plans to get
Norton a new copy of the CD.
