UNITED NATIONS, Oct 27 - Paul A. Volcker's report on the oil-for-food program in Iraq includes industrial giants like DaimlerChrysler AG, Siemens AG, the Weir Group P.L.C. and Volvo, as well as little known traders.

The individuals named as having profited from contracts with Iraq ranged from recognizable politicians like Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party in Russia, and Charles Pasqua, a former French interior minister, to unfamiliar names like the Rev. Jean-Marie Benjamin, a Swiss priest who put his profits in his Vatican bank account.

The New York Times fails to notice the absence of Americans (excluding the Clinton-pardoned fugitive Marc Rich)on this list of wrongdoers.
