i don't think any of the five family bosses would go to a commission meeting
because they know one of the other bosses would have on a wire or a recording device
Lol unless a Chicago guy was there to make sure everyone was clean because there are no rats in Chicago!!!

How is that so? They wouldn't 'know' that at all. Only one boss of the five families has ever ratted, that obviously being Massino. So to say they would 'know' that another boss is taped up is silly. They may be wary of many things, and it may enter their thoughts, but I don't believe they would not go for that reason alone. And on top of that, if there were to be a meeting of the top bosses today they would all be patted down and searched more vigorously that normal.

Although I agree that rats are not a big concern, the potential problems go further than dons, like Massino. Sammy the Bull, Gaspipe, and Sal Vitale were underbosses, who accompanied their bosses to commission meetings. At the time, it was Chin's rule that only bosses and underbosses could attend the commission meetings. And as far as I know, nobody was frisked.
Over the past decade or longer, it could have been really challenging to have commission meetings, which included the 5 families. The Colombo's Persico, the Lucchese's Amuso, the Genovese's Chin, the Gambino's John, John A, and Peter Gotti, and the Bonanno's Massino were, or are still, in jail. There might have been a time (probably around 2004), when the bosses of all 5 families were locked up at the same time.

Although this is not directly addressing the thread topic, here is Gaspipe's description of a commission meeting that took place shortly after Paul Castellano was clipped.
Vic Amuso and Gas had to hide under blankets in the back of a van, where they drove to a garage to meet up with Benny Eggs. From there, they traveled through a maze of basement tunnels until they reached the final destination, which seemed to be at least a block away from the original entry point. Sometimes, the tunnels would be filled with rats, water bugs and the stench of sewage. (Chin would later hold meetings with other dons at 3 AM as he believed agents didn't work the graveyard shift)
For this particular commission meeting (the Colombos and Bonannos weren't represented), the agenda included:
a) Finding Castellano's killers. Gotti claimed he was working hard on it, lol.
b) Whether the Bonannos would reclaim their seat. The bosses voted no, but Massino was recognized as the boss.
c) Who would be the acting boss of the Colombos. The commission voted Little Vic Orena.
d) A formal vote of the new Gambino boss.....Gotti was voted in during that meeting.

2000? Is it me or does anyone doubt that they've met in the last 13 years? Just because the Feds didn't catch them on tape doesn't mean they haven't gotten together.

Feech, no link. That was taken directly from Philip Carlo's biography on Gaspipe.

I completely agree. That's why I consider the Gaspipe and Kuklinski books to be autobiographies- not biographies. It seems as if Carlo takes anything his subjects says and prints the info as facts, without any checking at all.
