WASHINGTON -- A former hospital company executive pleaded guilty Monday to making a false statement about $50,000 in illegal corporate campaign contributions over a five-year period.

During a hearing in U.S. District Court, Donald M. Boucher, 72, former vice president of LifeCare Management Services of Plano, Texas, admitted lying to the Federal Election Commission about the contributions that were made between April 1997 and December 2002.

Most of Boucher's contributions went to Republican members of Congress, mainly from states with LifeCare hospitals, according to federal campaign records.

LifeCare was acquired last summer by the Carlyle Group. Twenty-four patients died at a LifeCare facility on the grounds of a Tenet Healthcare Corp. hospital in New Orleans that was cut off by floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina.
