76 was the year Gambino died, so it that the reason the books were reopened. I figured him to be the man on the commission with the strongest opinion during his reign. Wasn't sure if he wanted them closed and when he died the reopened.
No. The books were reopened while Gambino was still alive. The first recruits were made in very early 1976, Gambino died in October, 1976.
