Those who have raised the complaints include three former employees, Mr. MacGuire, who is a former Peace Corps worker and Catholic Relief Services representative in Burundi, and who is now director of corporate development for Macmillan Inc.; Peter P. Strzok, a former Army Corps of Engineers officer who served with the Catholic agency in Africa and Haiti, and Jean Serge Picard, who served in Zaire and Burundi.
Also interviewed was Norbert Clement, who worked for the relief agency for 25 years in Rwanda, Ethiopia and Haiti. He is still an employee of the agency but is on leave.
Catholic Relief Services was founded in 1943 and, with an annual budget of $430 million, has operations in 70 countries.
Agency officials said last week that while little of the $50 million in donations had been spent so far, the service had still aided 1.8 million Ethiopian famine victims. $22 Million 'Allocated'
William Schaufele, director of the relief services' African operations, said $8,141,000 had been spent so far and $22,890,000 had been allocated to Ethiopian projects and would be spent by the end of next year. The remaining $20 million, the agency previously announced, will finance long-term development projects in the rest of Africa.
