RAIDERS TO RETURN TO THE BARGAINING TABLE ON TICKET POLICY

          The Raiders have agreed to return to the bargaining
     table and renegotiate their "controversial" ticket-sales
     program, according to Sandy Kleffman of the SAN JOSE MERCURY
     NEWS.  Oakland City Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente said
     Raiders Managing General Partner Al Davis has agreed to
     begin talks in early May, and for the first time, elected
     officials "will be at the table."  De La Fuente said items
     to be discussed include "revamping" the PSL program and
     restructuring the marketing effort.  Plans are being made to
     hire a professional negotiator to represent the city and
     Alameda County, but De La Fuente and Supervisor Mary King
     will also be present.  Raiders officials could not be
     reached for comment (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 4/28).
