Examination is now-complete on the tissue samples from the recent incident at Dulce.
Microscopic and bacteriologic studies were performed on three specimens consisting of
heart muscle, skeletal muscle, and a bone fragment.
£_I[IIDI;92§_§_
 l!__]hart Muscle: No microscopic changes of pathological significance were found.
Vie} £g!__§pne Fragment: Ho microscopic changes of significance were found.

a:£§l"_§§§1etal_§u§§le; Rod-shaped bacteria infiltrating connective tissue between &#39;
muscle fibers were seen. Hustle fibers also contained occasional §§rcosp2ridia cysts.
L§l__nc§Eri2lgg1: A specimen obtained from a heart chamber was cultured and shown
to contain a rodshaped organism identified as §l25tri§iE§_species. Definitive classi-
fication was not made.
IlIT£l_:_,j§;ITATION
No definite conclusion can be drawn from the observation of bacterial infiltration of
muscle since the infiltration could be post-mortem. The demonstration of glostridium
in the heart chambers similarly cannot be definitively ascribed as pathological
because of the potential for contamination. While the findings are not inconsistent
with a diagnosis of infection, the possibility of contamination Prevents the conclusion
that infection was the cause of death. The observation of Sarcosporidia cysts is not
remarkable and could be seen in most beef animals from this region on careful examinatio1
I doubt that you will find these observations helpful in your investigation because the
bacteriological examination is inconclusive. However, we will support you in any way we
can, and you are welcome to visit our laboratory to discuss your findings at your &#39;
convenience. The offer for instrumentation support also remains open. If we can be .
of further assistance, please call. Warm personal regards.

5 {*1 utilation of PQLEQLS __". _ -Q ;*" K,
Attached is a portion of some correspondence Q5
received from Senator Harrison Schmitt indicating that a ~
l5 mutilations of animals have occurred in Indian U3
country in New Mexico in the past three years. For ~
several years the Criminal Division has been aware of -5
the phenomenon of animals being mutilated in a manner &#39;
that could indicate that such acts are performed by in
persons as part of a ritual or ceremony. The report that
some of the mutilations have occurred in Indian country
is our first indication that Federal law may have been
violated.
It is requested that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation conduct an appropriate investigation of
the 15 mutilations and any others that occur in Indian
country as a possible crime on an Indian reservation and ~furnish the results to the United States Attorney and92E2//j
, the Criminal Division, attention: Roger c. Adams,
General crimes Section. Mr. Adams has additional infor-
mation which may be of assistance to the FBI concerning
previous cattle mutilations over which there was no
Federal jurisdiction.

Q the animal after an injection of an anti~coagulant. It appears 1_i that in some instances the cattle&#39;s legs have been broken and,:""&#39;~a;_ helicopters without any identifying numbers have reportedly "¥p/
been seen in the vicinity of these mutilations. Officer
VALDEZ theorizes that clamps are being placed on the cow&#39;s legs
A and they are being lifted by helicopter to some remote area where
s the mutilations are taking place and then the animal is returned
to its original pasture. The mutilations primarily consist of 
removal of the tongue, the lymph gland, lower lip and the sexual
organs of the animal. Much mystery has surrounded these
mutilations, but according to witnesses they give the appearance
of being very professionally done with a surgical instrument, and" *according to VALDBZ, a; the years prggress, each surgical proc _ ef VALD &#39;,  *~= Pg  Pr: =;:*°£t;s@ an tn ?§E"§=??ZI§¬¬;.;1~that in no instance, o s ge, e ar

have been utilized. _,
_&#39; . Officer VALDEZ stated that Colorado probably has the T
most mutilations occurring within their State and that over y
the past four years-approximately 30 have occurred in New
Mexico. He stated of these 30, 15 have occurred on Indian- _
Reservations but he did know that_aany nutilations have gone&#39;- I
unreported which have occurred on the Indian reservations &#39; 
because the Indians, particularly in the Pueblos, are extremely
superstitious and will not even allow-officers in to investigate
in some instances. Officer VALDEZ stated since the outset
of these mutilations there have been an estimated 0,000 animals
mutilated which would place the loss at approximately $1,000,000.

R. E. THOMPSON; United States Attorney, advised that he
had received an urgent call from the head of the Criminal
Division, Department of Justice, advising him that he would be
contacted by Senator HARRISON SCHHITT of New Mexico, who had &#39;
been in contact with Attorney General GRIFFIN BELL in an effort
to obtain Federal assistan in seeking to solve these cattle
mutilations.
Bureau telephone call of 2/13/79 advised that a letter
was forthcoming from the Department to the Bureau requesting
our assistance in the investigation based on the fact that l5of §hese_animals had been mutilated on Indian reservation
in 0 &#39; &#39; ., ".." l _ Wain!". &#39;_ Y » _-
On 2/15/79¢&#39;Senator HARRISON SCHHITT, USA R. E. THOMPSON,"
SA SAMUEL H. JONES and myself met,to discuss this matter.
It wastgreed that a conference should be held in April of "
this year in Albuquerque involving New Mexico and the surrounding
States who have suffered cattle mutilation cases in an effort
to fully discuss this matter&#39;to determine what has been
developed to date and to recommend further steps to be taken
to solve this ongoing problem. The role of the FBI was "- -
discussed but was not established since it was not resolved
whether the_FBI-would act in a coordinating capacity,i g1
an investigating capacity or both.§ It was decided however,
that.it would be most.beneficial if all this available infor- &#39;
imation could be&#39;placed_in a computer_bank so that appropriate _
printouts could-be made and_an-abaiysis pade&#39;in.an effort to&#39;
determine.a trend or pattern of&#39;these mutilations.
" It is obvious if mutilations are to be solved there is
a need for a coordinated effort so that all material available
can be gathered and analyzed and further efforts synchronized.
Whether the FBI should assume this role is a matter to be

!decided. If we are merely to investigate and direct our§
efforts toward the 15 mutilated cattle on the Indian reser-
vation we, I believe, will be in the same position as the ;
other law enforcement agencies at this time and would be seeking
to achieve an almost impossible task. It is my belief that -
if we are to participate in any manner that we should do so;
fully, although this*office and the USA&#39;s office are at&#39;a loss
to determine what atute our investigative jurisdiction would
be in this matter} elf we are to act solely as a coordinator
or in any other official capacity the sooner we can place p
this information in the computer bank, the better off we ,
would be and in this regard it would be my recomendation that
an expert in the computer field at the Bureau travel to - -
Albuquerque in the very near future so that we can determine .i
what type of information will be needed so that when the &#39;
invitation for the April conference is submitted from Senator
SCHHITT&#39;s Office that the surrounding States will be aware "
of the information that is needed to place in the computer. It
should be noted that Senator SCHHITT&#39;s Office is coordinating th
April conference and will submit the appropriate invitations
and with the cooperation of the USA, Hr. THOMPSO§,will chair
this conference. The FBI will act only as a participant.
Since this has not been investigated by the FBI in any
manner we have no theories whatsoever as to why or what is
responsible for these cattle mutilations. -Officer BABE ;~
VALDEZ is very adamant&#39;in his opinion that these mutilations .
are the work of the U. S. Government and that it is some
clandestine operation either by the CIA or the Department of
Energy and in all probability is connected with some type of ..
research into biological warfare. His main reason for these
beliefs is that he feels that he was given the "run around"&#39;
by Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and they are attempting to -
cover up this situation. There are also theories that these are
cults  religious! or some type of Indian rituals_resulting in_
these nutilations and the wildest theory advanced is that&#39;they,¢
have some connection with unidentified flyingobjects.§5§ _ "

A conference directed by Senator HARRISON SCHMIT
New Mexico, and U.S. Attorney R.E. THOMPSON, Albuquerque,hfwas held on 4/20/79, at Albuquerque. This conference was
opened to the public and was attended by law enfcrcementy _officials from New Mexico and other states, the news mediggify
, and interested persons. Approximately 180 persons were in
V attendance. During the conference, Senator SCHMITT stated
that the FBI had been designated as being in charge of cattle
mutilations. He explained to the conference attendees that
he had conferred with Attorney General GRIFFIN BELL regarding
the matter of federal involvement in cattle mutilations and
; that the.FBI had now received the authority from the Attorney *
General to conduct such an investigation. Senator SCHMITT

--"* .&#39; During the conference, FORREST S. PUTMAN, Albuquerque
FBI, explained that the FBI&#39;s jurisdiction extended to mutilation
occurring on Indian lands. He said, however, that the FBI in
conducting its investigation of these mutilations would take
into account mutilations occurring elsewhere which showed v
a similar M0.. F &#39;= *
- : &#39; i .
 The jurisdictional problems of all law enforcement-
officials investigating mutilations were discussed during an
afternoon session of the conference attended only by law
enforcement officials. It was pointed out that in most cases,
the mutilations amounted to misdemeanor violations and were not
a felony. is Senator SCHHITT pointed out during the general
conference that the FBI might have jurisdiction to investigate
mutilations because of violations of state laws on Indian
lands, the question arose whether this would be a felony or
a misdemeanor violation. Under New Mexico State Law, the
mere mutiliation of a dead animal would be simply a misdemeanor
violation. Investigation of these matters would not be in
keeping with the FBI&#39;s current efforts to concentrate on s
priority matters. - " &#39;
The Albuquerque FBI recommends that FBIHQ point
out to the Justice Department that if the FBI is asked to
conduct investigation into cattle mutilations of which the
FBI has no jurisdiction, we will be opening ourselves to
criticism similar to criticism we have received in the past
for investigating matters wherein we have had no jurisdiction.
_It would seem appropriate that if FBI participation_in investi-
gation of;cattle_mutilations is&#39;desired&#39;byhthe Justice Department,
effort should beimade to secure Congressional approval or an
Executive Order through which_the appropriate funds could be 1,authorized and proper jurisdiction_granted to the FBI._  , &#39;_ _ &#39; ; _-_,_. .&#39; a . .- _ _ .
Under these conditions, the FBI could approach this
matter without expectation of undue criticism and with the
anticipation that the proper resources could.be utilized to
conduct an effective investigation.

A If the Albuquerque FBI Office is expected to broaden
its examination of the cattle mutilation, additional manpower
would be necessary. The scope of the cattle mutiliaon problem
"in the United States is vast and_cccrdinaticn of expected
- future investigation would be so broad that the manpowerg
currently assigned to the Albuquerque Office could not cope -
with the problem. .At the present time. the number of
additional Agents necessary for such an investigation could
not be estimated by the Albuquerque FBI Office.
. Reairtel authorized the Albuquerque FBI to&#39;investigate
the mutilations of 15 animals which have reportedly occurred
on Indian lands within the State of New Mexico. Furtheri-
investigation of these mutilations is an impossibility because
of the fact that the carcasses of the animals have been destroyed
The only purpose which could be served in making inquiry about
these matters would be to compile a record of what investigators
have determined in the past. It is expected this would be an
extremely limited record because those who have looked into
such cattle mutilations have done so without any jurisdictionalauthor &#39; &#39;ity and their records are expected to be very brief,
if any at all were kept.
The Albuquerque FBI Office feels that if an investi-
gative unit is approved and an LEAA Grant is given to the Office
of the District Attorney in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this approach
to the solution would probably be the best in the absence of
full FBI jurisdiction. Such an investigative unit would have
jurisdiction over investigation of the cattle mutilations and
authority to prosecute persons responsible for the mutilations
if they are identified. The FBI could cooperate with this unit
by furnishing data available to it for assistance in its
investigation. The Albuquerque FBI feels that if the grant
is given to the District Attorney&#39;s Office in Santa Fe coordination of_investigative efforts could be handled&#39;11.

CATTLE MUTILATIONS
p On April 20, 1979, a conference was held at the
Albuquerque Public Library at Albuquerque, New Mexico. This

New Mexico, and United States Attorney R.E. THOMPSON of
-Albuquerque. The conference convened at 9:00 a.m. The morning
session was attended by representatives from various law
enforcement agencies, news media representatives, and the
general public. Approximately 180 persons attended the
conference during the morning session. This session lasted until
approximately 12:00 noon.
Senator SCHMITT opened the conference by explaining
its purpose. He said, "This hearing is to define the scope
pf the problem and_the basisfor federal assistance and to
examine how the FBI might be involved. U.S. Attorney R.E.
THOMPSON explained to those attending the conference that
federal jurisdiction for investigations conducted by the FBI
is limited to those areas approved by Congress. U.S. Attorney
THOMPSON said there is a possible violation of a federal statute
requiring that aircraft be appropriately marked and identified.
He explained that this statute might possibly have been violated
because of reports that the unidentified aircraft have been
observed in the area of cattle mutilations.
Senator SCHMITT explained that his staff and others
have searched the federal statutes and have concluded there
is possible federal jurisdiction under Title 18, U.S. code,
Sections 7 and 13, having to do with violations of state law
on Indian or federal lands. Senator SCHMITT expressed his hope
that the FBI could conduct investigation into the cattle
mutilations under these statutes. Senator SCHMITT stated to
the conference that the FBI would coordinate the investigation_
of_cattle mutilations. _ ,M,,,_ mu _m_,_iq_l,:.|

QATTLE MUTILATIQNS
FORREST S. PUTMAN, Special Agent in Charge  SAC!,
Albuquerque Office of the FBI, explained to the conference
that the Justice Department had given the FBI authority
to investigate those cattle mutilations which have occurred
or might occur on Indian lands. He further explained that
the Albuquerque FBI would look at such mutilations in connection
with mutilations occurring off-Indian lands for the purpose
of comparison and control, especially where the same methods
of operation are noted. SAC PUTMAN said that in order for
this matter to be resolved, the facts surrounding such
mutilations should be gathered and computerized.
District Attorney ELOY MARTINEZ, Santa Fe, New Mexico,
told the conference that his judicial district had made
application for a $50,000 Law Enforcement Assistance Administratior
 LEAA! Grant for the purpose of investigating the cattle
mutilations. He explained that there is hope that with the
funds from this grant, an investigative unit can be established
for the sole purpose of resolving the mutilation problem. He
said it is his view that such an investigative unit could serve
as a headquarters for all law enforcement officials investigating
the mutilations and, in particular, would serve as a repository
for information developed in order that this information could
be coordinated properly. He said such a unit would not only
coordinate this information, but also handle submissions to
a qualified lab for both evidence and photographs. Mr. MARTINEZ
said a hearing will be held on April 24, 1979, for the purpose
of determining whether this grant will be approved.
GABE VALDEZ, New Mexico State Police, Dulce, New Mexico,
reported he has investigated the death of 90 cattle during the
past three years, as well as six horses. Officer VALDEZ said
he is convinced that the mutiliations of the animals have not
been the work of predators because of the precise manner of
the cuts.
Officer VALDEZ said he had investigated mutilations
of several animals which had occurred on the ranch of MANUEL
GOMEZ of Dulce, New Mexico.
MANUEL GOMZ addressed the conference and explained
he had lost six animals to unexplained deaths which were found
win a mutilated condition within the last two years. Further,
GOMEZ said that he and his family are experiencing fear and
mental anguish because of the mutilations.

omens MUTILATIONS
DAVID PERKINS, Director of the Department of
at Libre School in Farasita, Colorado, exhibited a map
United States which contained hundreds of colored pinsResearch
of the
identifying
mutilation sites. He commented that he had been making a
systematic collection of data since 1975, and has never met
a greater challenge. He said, The only thing that makes sense
about the mutilations is that they make no sense at all."
TOM ADAMS of Paris Texas, who has been independently
examining mutilations for six years, said his investigation
has shown that helicopters are almost always observed in the
area of the mutiliations. He said that the helicopters do
not have identifying markings and they fly at abnormal, unsafe,
or illegal altitudes.
Dr. PETER VAN ARSDALE, Ph.D., Assistant Professor,
Department of Anthropology, University of Denver, suggested
that those investigating the cattle mutilations take asystematic
approach and look at all types of evidence is discounting any
of the propounded theories such as responsibility by extraterrestri
visitors or Satanic cults.
RICHARD SIGISMUND, Social Scientist, Boulder, Colorado,
presented an argument which advanced the theory that the cattle
mutilations are possibly related to activity of UFOs. Numerous
other persons made similar type presentations expounding on
their theories regarding the possibility that the mutilations
are the responsibility of extraterrestrial visitors, members of
Satanic cults, or some unknown government agency.
Dr. RICHARD PRINE, Forensic Veterinarian, Los Alamos
Scientific Laboratory  LASL!, Los Alamos, New Mexico, discounted
the possibility that the mutilations have been done by anything
but predators. He said he had examined six carcasses and in
his opinion predators were responsible for the mutiliation of
all six.
. Dr. CLAIRE HIBBS, a representative of the State
Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, New Mexico State University,
Las Cruces, New Mexico, said he recently came to New Mexico,
but that prior to that he examined some mutiliation findings
in Kansas and Nebraska. Dr. HIBBS said the mutiliations fell
into three categories: animals killed and mutilated by predators
and scavengers, animals mutilated after death by sharp instruments
and animals mutilated by pranksters.

. CATTLE MUTILATIONS
TOMY BLAND, Lewisville, Texas, told the conference
he has been studying UFO activities for twenty-two years and
mutilations for twelve years. He explained that animal
mutilations date back to the early l8s in England and
Scotland. He also pointed out that animal mutilations are
not confined to cattle, but cited incidents of mutilation
of horses, dogs, sheep, and rabbits. He also said that the
mutilations are not only nationwide, but international in
scope.
Other speakers at the conference suggested ways of
approaching an investigation into the mutilations, urging
access to technological equipment and technologically trained
individuals. -
Chief RALEIGH TAFOYA, Jicarilla Apache Tribe, and
WALTER DASHENO, Governor, Santa Clara Pueblo, each spoke
briefly to the conference. Both spoke of the cattle which
had been found mutilated on their respective Indian lands.
Governor DASHENO said he is concerned as to the extent of
the jurisdiction by investigating agencies into the matter
and Chief TAFOYA said some of his people who have lost livestock
have been threatened. He did not elaborate on these threats.
CARL W. WHITESIDE, Investigator, Colorado Bureau of
Investigation, told the conference that between April and
December, 1975, his Bureau investigated 203 reports of cattle
mutilations. He said in addition his Bureau conducted an
undercover investigation in an attempt to resolve the mutilation
problem. He said during the investigation by his Bureau, numerous
pieces of evidence were submitted to the Colorado State University
. Large Animal Hospital and all civilian and military helicopter
A flights were monitored during this probe. WHITBSIDE said,
"Sadly, most of these efforts produced no results. He said
they were unable to place any unidentified vehicle in the air
or on the ground near the carcasses that were found. He said
his group submitted 35 carcasses to the laboratory for examination
Only 19 of those subitted were deemed to be of recent enough
vintage to make an examination and of those 19, nine were deter-
mined to be willful mutilations. He said of those nine, it was
concluded that two were done by pranksters. WHITESIDE said
that his organization even set up a secret witness program with
the cooperation of the&#39;Denver Post", but this resulted in no
information to assist in a solution to the matter.

CATTLETMUT;LATIONS
During the afternoon of April 20, 1979, law
enforcement officers met with U.S. Attorney R.E. THOMPSON
for a special meeting. At this conference were representatives
from the FBI and numerous state law enforcement officers from
New Mexico. Also in attendance were investigators from Nebraska,
Colorado, Montana, and Arkansas. During the conference emphasis
was placed on an attempt to determine the most appropriate way
of approaching the solution of the cattle mutilations. The
officials decided that direction for the investigation should
be the responsibility of one of three agencies *- the FBI,
the District Attorney&#39;s Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which
has applied for the LEAA Grant, or the New Mexico State Police.
U.S. Attorney THOMPSON concluded that within the next two
weeks a determination would be made which of the three agencies
would be the primary investigative group and the agency&#39;s
responsibility for the collection of data regarding the
mutiletions. U.S. Attorney THOMPSON pointed out that the
FBI would have to receive approval from Washington, District
Attorney MARTINEZ group would have to receive the LEAA Grant,
and the New Mexico State Police would have to obtain clearance
from its headquarters.
During this session of the conference, investigators
from Arkansas pointed out that they have examined 28 cases of
cattle mutilations and it is their conclusion that all cases
were the work of intentional mutilators and not of predators.
The examination of carcasses submitted by their investigators
have been done by the Oklahoma State University Forensic Lab.
The investigator present at the conference from Montana
expressed his opinion that carcasses found in Montana were also
mutilated by deliberate efforts and not by predators.
All investigators present daring this session recommended
that there be a central collection unit which could coordinate
information from all areas. Also, all investigators recommended
that a standard procedure and form be adopted for the investi-
gation of future mutilations. They recommended that evidence
be examined by a qualified veterinary pathologist.
