Well from what I've heard DP he did get permission from the other families, I've heard the other families gave their permission cause they were afraid Paul C would agree to become a government witness to avoid going to prison. Don't forget he was one of the defendants in the Commision case.[/QB][/QUOTE]

He never had the permission from the other Families. Even the Chin tried a few times to have Gotti killed because of this. He got his Underboss though.
