Dear Bill:
Thank you for your testimon h y at t e recent meeting of theSec ' durity an Terrorism Subcomittee.
_ I have enclosed a series of questions'relating to the
;Atlanta youth murderscase which we discussed during the hearing.
I hope that you will be able to res ond to th p , ose questions which
;do not violate the judge's gag order in the Wayne Williams case;as soon as ibl ' ' poss e. If any of these questions do violate the
,judge's gag order, I would appreciate a response as soon as that
.gag order is lifted.
_ I have also included a couple of specific questions con-
-cerning the report you sent me relatin to all , g egations of FBI
zmisconduct on the Pine Rid I di ge n an Reservation. I would appreciate
.your prompt reply to these questions.
Again, thank you for your testimon , and I am lookinglforward to reviewing your responses to these questions.

ATLANTA YOUTH MURDER QUESTIONS
l. I believe you told the Congress that the Bureau had a "tenuous"
jurisdiction under the federal kidnapping statutes and the Justice
Department concluded there was "no basis for a civil rights
investigation." On what basis did the Federal Government have
the authority to investigate th¬_Atlanta slayings?
2. Why was the FBI unable to enter the investigation intitially
due to lack of jurisdiction, but able to enter later with no
apparent change in the facts regarding jurisdiction?
3. Did the FBI enter the case, as some have suggested, simply
because the Atlanta slaying had become an issue national" in
scope and effect - a "national crime disaster area" -- irrespec-
tive of a sound jurisdictional basis?
4. when U.S. Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti "ordered" the
FBI, as well as the-Justice Department, to offer their full coopera
tion to the Atlanta police, did he in effect "erder" the FBI to
exceed its traditional jurisdiction?
5. Why was the federal response in Atlanta,'particularly that
of the FBI, so slow in coming?
6. The technical assistance of two investigators specifically
the services of a special agent who is an expert in the development
of behavioral profiles and an FBI agent who is a specialist in
the development of visual investigation aid systems! was offered
to the city on November 6, 1980. At some point in very late
1980 or early 1981, a decision was made to send in more assistance.
By February ll, 1981, "some 26 FBI agents" had been assigned to
"work with" Atlanta's 35-member special task force.! Who made
that decision, at what time, and when did additional help actually
arrive in Atlanta?
7. At some point, the FBI "assistance" in Atlanta developed.into
an independent investigation running on parallel, hnd sometimes
counter, tracks to the local efforts. At what point did the
"assistance" burgeon into a full investigation? Can you provide
some idea -- the number of agents and the dates on which they
became active in the investigation -- of how the investigation
force grew?
8. Once the FBI became committed to the situation in Atlanta
their investigation proceeded on
the Special Task Force which was
officials. Who made the initial
part of the Special Task Force?a separate track from that of
made up of local law enforcement
decision that the FBI not be a

simultaneous inquiries by two independent investigating groups --
fostered much of the difficulty encountered in the investigation?
Wouldn'tsuch an arrangement hinder communications, increase the risk
of duplicated effort, reduce the chance of apparently unrelated
information "coming together" in the process of an integrated
investigation, and in other ways fetter the often slow and piece-
meal development of a successful investigation?
10. was the two track investigation in fact preferable in the
beginning or did other factors determine the structure of the
investigation? Was the FBI unwilling to be integrated into the
Special Task Force or was there an inability or unwillingnessto
integrate the FBI into the Special Task Force?
ll. You were criticized for your announcementthatfour of the
child murders were "substantially solved" at a time when Atlanta
police said that they were not aware that any case was near
resolution. Could this have been avoided by having had the FBI
integrated into the Task Force? Similar criticism occurred following a
statement by an FBI agent not assigned to the case at a Macon,
Georgia, Civic Club meeting that four of the children had been
killed by their parents because they were considered "nuisances."
12. Regardless of their effect on the actual investigation,
don't such statements undermine public confidence that law
enforcement officials are dealing adequately with these highly
publicized cases?
13. Do you believe there is any validity to the criticisms
raised against the FBI concerning the conduct of the investigation
from May 22 to June 21, 1981? _
lh. Is there any internal
FBI misconduct? If such an
any problems discovered?investigation underway of possible
internal review is complete, were

less than a first-rate job in your estimation?
16. Do you think it was appropriate for the FBI to press for
an arrest in the case before local prosecutors felt they were
ready? -

of the missing and murdered children in Atlanta, Georgia.
In addition to working an independent investigation, the
FBI assisted the local Task Force with manpower, guidance,
VIA, profiling and made available the FBI Laboratory. In
addition to testimony by FBI Agents during the trial, a
model of the James Jackson Parkway Bridge, recreated by
the Special Projects Unit, along with many charts, were
utilized effectively by the prosecution. The bridge surveillances
which led to Williams arrest, were conceived and directed
by FBI personnel.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a chronological
synopsis of the FBI's involvement in the Wayne Bertram Williams
kidnaping investigation.
The Atlanta Office of the FBI first became involved in this
matter on 6/22/BO. At that time, the Atlanta Bureau of Police
Services ABPS! reported to the Atlanta FBI Office that Latonya Wilson,
a black female aged seven years, had been kidnaped from her residence
during the night. FBI liaison was established with the ABPS to
determine if a violation of the Federal Kidaapiag Statute existed.
The remains of Wilson were subsequently recovered in Atlanta, Georgia,
on 10/18/80.
In response to a series of murdered and missing children,
a Special Task Force was established on 1/17/80 at Atlanta, Georgia.
This Task Force was comprised of ABPS detectives, as well as
detectives from other metropolitan Atlanta police departments and
agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation GBI!. The Atlanta
FBI office assigned two Agents in a liaison capacity to otter the
services of the PBIs Laboratory Division and Training Division:
Behavioral Science Unit, and to afford coverage Q! outofstat finvestigative matters. I! X 8 92_ | /, My
on 7/31/ED, the EBBB reported to~the Atlanta FBT Office
that Earl Lee Terrell, a black male aged eleven years, had dis-
appeared from a local swimming pool. During the evening, his family
received a telephone call demanding $200 for Terrell's safe return.
The FBI entered the case to determine if a kidnaping violation existed.
Exec AD LinNo additional ransom demands were forthcoming. -ha=remainS cf Terrellh ,,h Q§1e subsequently discovered in East Point, Georgia, on l/9{8l.Inc: ab LES J 7 MAR 31 I98

list; however, eleven of the children had already been
discovered murdered within the Atlanta area. " . w
j _ . _ 1
On ll/6/BO, former Attorney General Benjamin R. Civiletti
authorized and requested the FBI to initiate an immediate preliminary
investigation to determine whether the missing black children in the
Atlanta, Georgia, area were being held in violation of the Federal
Kidnaping Statute, Title 18, United States Code, Section 1201. In
connection with the investigation, the FBI, of necessity, was required
to examine the disappearance of the black children whose bodies had
been recovered. Prior to ll/6/80, it was the opinion of our Atlanta
Division and former United States Attorney William Harper, Northern
District of Georgia, that the FBI lacked a jurisdictional basis for
active investigation. _
On ll/7/80 at the direction of the Attorney General, the
FBI began to set up the framework for conducting a major case inveati
gation and to establish guidelines for the investicaticn.
A review of the Task Force investigation was conducted during
the week of ll/10-14/BO, with all investigative plans formulated by
ll/14/80. ~ * n '"
On ll/17/80, the Atlanta FBI Office commenced a major case
investigation into the murdered and missing children, with twenty-five
Agents being assiqned on a full-time basis at Atlanta, Georgia. At
one point, as many as £orty£ive Agents were assigned on a £ull~time
basis, this being during the period of the James Jackson Parkway
bridge surveillance in the spring of 1981. Throughout the investi-
gation, the Atlanta FBI Office Agent complement dedicated to the
investigation would fluctuate; however, never below the initial
complement of twenty-five Agents until the arrest of Wayne Williams
on 6/21/Bl. The expertise of the Laboratory Division, Technical
Services Division, Training Division and Identification Division
was utilized throughout the investigation. FBI investigation was
conducted in all states except Alaska and Hawaii. r
On 5/22/Bl, Wayne Williams was stopped on the James Jackson
Parkway bridge, Atlanta, Georgia, and subsequently interviewed by the
FBI.
On 6/3/81, FBI representatives assisted in the execution of
the Fulton County Superior Court search warrants for the person of
Wayne Williams, the Williams residence and the Williams vehicle.
On the same date, Williams was interviewed by the FBI and afords Q
polygraph examination. * A,-2- "3; tr

On 6/21/Bl, Wayne Williams was arrested by Fulton County
District Attorney Office investigators on a warrant charging him
with the murder of Nathaniel Cater. -7.
On 7/17/81, a Fulton County grand jury indicted ' j_.
Wayne Williams for the murders of Jimmy Ray Payne and Nathaniel_Cater.
- On 8/27/Bl, Yulton County Superior Court Judge Clarence Cooper
issued a judicial order prohibiting all individuals involved in this
case, both defense and prosecution, from making comments or statements
to the news media. The order restricted anyone affiliated with law
enforcement from making such remarks. - _
On l/6/B2, the trial of Wayne Williams convened in Fulton
County Superior Court. During the trial, the jury heard testimony
from numerous FBI representatives. _ _ , -
On 2/21/82, Wayne Williams was found guilty of the murders
of Jimmy Ray Payne and Nathaniel Cater. Judge Clarence Cooper
immediately sentenced Williams to consecutive life sentences for
these murders. Judge Cooper, following the guilty verdict, lifted
his 8/27/81 judicial order. '
On 3/1/82, a meeting was held at the Atlanta Police Task
Force Headquarters with representatives from all affected law enforce
ment and prosecutorial agencies present. It was concluded that
Wayne Williams could be linked to twenty-three of the Task Force
victims, which included victims Cater and Payne. District Attorney
Lewis Slaton has recommended to the District Attorneys who have
jurisdiction over these cases that they be officially closed. The
remaining seven cases were turned over to the appropriate local
jurisdictions. It was unanimously agreed upon that the Task Force
be disbanded effective 3/B/82.1.; .
The FBI has concluded its major case investigation into Z
the murdered and missing children at Atlanta, Georgia; however, the
services of the Identification and Laboratory Divisions remain available
to the local Atlanta jurisdictions as concerns the remaining seven

ATLANTA YOUTH MURDER QUESTIONS
1. I believe you told the Congress that the Bureau had a tenuous"
jurisdiction under the federal kidnapping statutes and the Justice
Department concluded there was "no basis for a civil rights
investigation." On what basis did the Federal Government have
the authority to investigate thetlanta slayings? .
2. Why was the FBI unable to enter the investigation intitially
due to lack of jurisdiction, but able to enter later with no
apparent change in the facts regarding jurisdiction?
as some have suggested, simply
become an issue "national" in3. Did the FBI enter the case,
because the Atlanta slaying had
scope and effect - a "national crime disaster area" - irrespec-
tive of a sound jurisdictional basis?
4. When U.S. Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti 9ordered" the
FBI, as well as the Justice Department, to offer their full coopera
tion to the Atlanta police, did he in effect "order" the FBI to
exceed its traditional jurisdiction?
5. Why was
of the FBI,the federal response in Atlanta, particularly ,that
so slow in coming?
6. The technical assistance of two investigators specifically
the services of a special agent who is an expert in the development
of behavioral profiles and an FBI agent who is a specialist in
the development of visual investigation aid systems! was offered
to the city on November 6, 1980. At some point in very late
1980 or early 1981, a decision was made to send in more assistance.
By February ll, 1981, "some 26 FBI agents" had been assigned to
"work with" Atlanta's 35member special task force.! Who made
that decision, at what time, and when did additional help actually
arrive in Atlanta?

9. Is it possible that the very structure of the investigation --
simultaneous inquiries by two independent investigating groups --
fostered much of the difficulty encountered in the investigation?
Wouldn'tsuch an arrangement hinder communications, increase the risk
of duplicated effort, reduce the chance of apparently unrelated
information "coming together" in the process of an integrated
investigation, and in other ways fetter the often slow and piece-
meal development of a successful investigation?
10. was the two track investigation in fact preferable in the
beginning or did other factors determine the structure of the
investigation? Was the FBI unwilling to be integrated into the
Special Task Force or was there an inability or unwillingnessto
integrate the FBI into the Special Task Force?
ll. You were criticized for your announcementthatfour of the
child murders were "substantially solved at a time when Atlanta
police said that they were not aware that any case was near
resolution. Could this have been avoided by having had the FBI
integrated into the Task Force? Similar criticism occurred following
statement by an FBI agent not assigned to the case at a Macon,
Georgia, Civic Club meeting that four of the children had been
killed by their parents because they were considered "nuisances."
12. Regardless of their effect on the actual investigation,
don't such statements undermine public confidence that law
enforcement officials are dealing adequately with these highly
publicized cases? '
13. Do you believe there is any validity to the criticisms
raised against the FBI concerning the conduct of'fhe investigation
from May 22 to June 21, 1981?
lé. Is there any internal investigation underway of possible
FBI misconduct? If such an internal review is complete, were
any problems discovered?
15. Was the investigation of Mr. Williams, especially the
occurrences immediately following the incident at the bridge
less than a first-rate job in your estimation?
16. Do you think it was appropriate for the FBI to press for
an arrest in the case before local prosecutors felt they were
ready?

l7. Finally, a high level official on the Special Task Force
was quoted in the New York limes last July as saying, The
FBI wanted to solve tne case themselves." "They wanted all the
credit, but instead they have made it more difficult to resolve
the guilt or innocence of the suspect." What can we do and what
can you do to minimize the rivalries, which can disrupt investigati
if the Federal Government is going to get involved more heavily
in crimes, which in the past have been left to state and local
authorities?
de last summer
agency misconduct
our response was
allegations, the
om the pattern of
Indian matters
o believe that
out the wiretap18. You recently responded to an inquiry I ma
concerning certain allegations surrounding FBI
on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. While y
very forthcoming concerning the details of the
overall response seems to draw no conclusion fr
activities which were occurring with respect to
during the midl97O's. While it is plausible t
SpecialAgentInCharge Trimbach, did forget abapplication, and didn t know that Mr. Hurd had agreed to a poly=
graph of Mr. Moves Camp, and perhaps Mr. Hurd did forget to turn
over to defense lawyers Jencks material provided to him by the
FBI, I was still left with :56 feeling that things were out of
control during those days= was the FBI exerting sufficient
management control over its agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation
during those events?
l9. In response to another issue, you stated in your report to
me that with respect to the investigations of the deaths of Special
Agents Coler and Williams, the Department had received variousallegations but had not "received any Epecifig information QEallegations which had indicated that t e FBI conducted any
unlawful searches or conducted the investigatioh'as a reprisal
. or vendetta." Your August 1979 letter to Civil Rights Commission
Chairman Flemming also refers to various general charges of agency
misconduct at the Pine Ridge Reservation but tg no gpecifig
allgggtions. In light of those statements;I wish again toiask

On February 27, 1982, a guilty verdict was returned
against subject having been charged with 2 counts of murder in
connection captioned matter. On the same date Assistant Fulton ,
County District Attorney, Gordon Miller, the principal member ofthe ' team for the above trial, telephopically contacted
SA of the Atlanta Division, and advised asfol ows: ]92I!
He wished to make it known that it wa§<t¥é consensus
of the Fulton County District Attorney's office that without
the direct assistance of the FBI Laboratory and the other
F various services offered to the city of Atlanta in connection
with captioned matter, that a successful resolution to the F
above case would have been virtually imp ssi le Assistant

He noted that SA _ professional expertise in 92
the examination of the evidentiary fibers in this case contributed
substantially to the conviction of subject Williams. Further,
that the FBI Laboratory in general provided immeasurable service
in the retention and examination of evidence in several of the 1
victims having been formally charged to Williams during the
Fulton County trial.
The FBI Laboratory should note that questioning of
jurors in captioned matter disclosed that the two greatest items of
impact during the trial were the interviews of subject Williams 92
conducted by FBI personnel and the abundance of fiber comparisons
attributed to known sources from the Williams residence and his
vehicle and those items recovered from various victims.
Mr. Miller indicated that SA of the
Behavorial Science Unit, who was present in the courtroom during I
much of the trial and all of the defense presentation , provided ;
the prosecution with numerous insights into witness cross-exam-
ination and provided a definitive strategy as to how best interview p
subject Williams under cross-examination. Mr. Miller pointed out
that the strategy furnished to Assistant Fulton County D. A.
Jack Mallard was in fact utilized in the crossexamination of W
Williams towards the close of the trial. Sustained aggressful
interrogation of Williams on the stand covering a period of two l
separate days managed to expose a segment of his personality which
heretofore the iurors had not been exposed to. Following the stratevylaid out by SAlHMr. Mallard was able to elicit a hostile, l
aggressive, an i su ing aspect of Williams character which had g,
an affect on the jury. ,.
A polling of the jurors disclosed that during the
initial phases of the trial they were unable to picture subject
Williams as being the killer in captioned matter. Having witnessed
Williams in a hostile, aggressive disposition in court revealed
to several of the jurors the true personality of Wayne Williams.
The above information being furnished to the FBI _
Laboratory and to the Behavioral Science Unit, Quantico, Virginia,
for information.

KIDNAPPING K- L7 i1 vv. n4. V
As FBIHQ is aware, captioned subject was convicted T
and sentenced to two life terms on 2/27/82 for the murders_of
Jimmy Ray Payne and Nathaniel Cater. This was a complex trial,
lasting approximately eight weeks, and the guilty verdict was
a result of circumstantial, rather than direct evidence. The
T Fulton County District Attorney and his staff handled this case ~
y It is recommended by the Atlanta Division that the
following members of the Fulton County District Attorney's Office,
Atlanta, Georgia, be considered for letters of commendation. It
is realized that Slaton was recently orally commended by the K
!Director for the excellent efforts of Slaton and his staffjin "a
prosecuting Wayne Williams for the murders of Nathaniel,Cater and
Jimmy Ray Payne. The telephone call was appropriate and Ifam surelslaton will always cherish the thought that the DirectorC?f the
1 Mr. Slaton's staff also played an important role in
7the successful prosecution of Wayne Williams and it is believed
that a rare opportunity exists to improve relations between the
_ lFu1ton County Prosecutor's Office and the FBI that were strained
- to some extent during the investigation of the case. No doubt!Slaton's office is ogfthe opinion, no matter what its public

a prominent public posture when they would have preferred to remain
in a more subordinate role. Of course, some of these hard feelings
have been diminished by the successful outcome of the trial.
Moreover, this additional effort will reach every member
of Mr. Slatons prosecutive staff, who played a primary role in the
prosecution of Wayne Williams.
$5 l! Lewis Slaton, District Attorney
Slaton had the overall responsibility for prosecuting
the Wayne Williams case. In addition, Slaton actively participated
in_examining witnesses and forming stratagems. He was also the
final speaker during the closing arguments where he reminded the
jury of many salient points brought out during the trial. As
mentioned previously, Slaton has received a telephone call from
the Director commending him for his efforts in this matter.
uh 2! Jack Mallard, Assistant District Attorney
Mallard was the individual responsible for a good portion
of the examination of numerous prosecution and defense witnesses,
In addition, his effective cross-examination of Wayne Williams was
one of the vital points in the trial.
Q5 3! Gordon Miller, Assistant District Attorney
- Miller was responsible for introducing the fiber and
technical evidence. Miller became very knowledgeable regarding
fibers and hydrology and effectively introduced these aspects of
the State's case to the jury. In addition, Miller examined
different pathologists placed on the witness standby the pro-
secution. Mil1ers participation in the closing arguments was
extremely important, as his summation of the fiber evidence helped
the jury focus on the strength of this evidence.
LL92 4! Wallace Speed, Assistant District Attorney
Speed was instrumental in interviewing key rebuttal
witnesses. In addition, Speed gathered information pertaining to
documentation which proved the Williams family purchased the green
carpeting in 1971. Speed also participated in court by placing
on the witness stand the individuals who contracted with the
Williams family for carpeting and who installed same.! Speed alsoassisted the prosecution in forming various stratagems.

Mr. William Bradford Reynolds
Assistant Attorney General
Civil Rights Division
U. S. Department of Justice
Washington, D. C. 20530
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
. After a nine-week trial in early 1982, Wayne Williams was convicted
and sentenced for the murder of two adults in the Atlanta child
killings. Subsequent to his conviction, local authorities announced
that twenty-two 2! children cases which appear to be related would
also be closed. Not one of the closed cases was brought to trial.
Parents of the children, first bewildered by the investigative treat-
ment given their children's murders and enraged at the knowledge that
the conviction of Williams for two murders would suffice for all of
them, sought my assistance for justice beyond the state of Georgia.
They contend that their children were killed because they were black
and that they, themselves, have been treated as secondclass citizens
in their effort to seek relief because they, too, are poor and black.
Furthermore, their opinions are substantiated by extensive testimony
in the form of written and recorded information which provide names,
dates, and places suggesting a racist intent in the chi1drens
murders.
It is against this background that the parents and~I entered into
regular and lengthy discussions of the missing and murdered children
-in Atlanta. As a State Representative from a district where many of
the children lived, or were last seen, or were found, I consider it
an important stewardship responsibility to respond to the parents in
their request.
After a careful study and review of the information, I am led to
_believe that the parents contention that discrimination was the
motive in their children's deaths is, indeed, a valid one.
It is in the parents behalf that I write this letter to present the
case of discrimination in the Atlanta child killings-that the
children were killed because of color. Evidence strongly suggests/o sf5"@l0suRs7
vi
s
l
p
_£_..
that the children's 1.11 rights have been viola d. Further I am
charging that the in_roper and indifferent treat. nt accorded the
children's deaths by law enforcement officials and the inadequate
and insensitive response to parents is proof~positive that they
were ignored because of color. It is fair to assume that our
government leaders would have declared a state of emergency and
conceivably a state of war! had the thirty victims been white,
slain en masse, and virtually ignored by law enforcement officials.
In my response to the parents to seek justice beyond the state of
Georgia, I appeal to you under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, Section 902 which authorizes the intervention of the United
States government in civil rights cases. It states:
"Whenever an action has been commenced in any
court of the United States seeking relief
from the denial of equal protection of the
laws under the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution on account of race, color, re1i
gion, or national origin, the Attorney General
for and in the name of the United States may
intervene in such action upon timely applica-
tion if the Attorney General certifies that
the case is of general public importance. In
such action the United States shall be entit-
led to the same relief as if it had instituted
the action." _

Title 28 of the U.S. Code
Section l447 d!
General Overview
During the summer of 1979, a crisis of unparalled proportions came
to light in Atlanta, Georgia that was to continue for the next two
years. Black children and young adults were murdered in massive
numbers. The murderer s! of unknown identity stalked the streets
of the city snatching and killing our children and dropping their
bodies along highways, byways, and in rivers.
During the period, a total of thirty young persons were identified
as victims of the mass slaying and placed on an official Task Force
List for on-going investigation. The group included twenty-five
5! children and five ! young adults. Children ages ranged from
7 to 17; young adults, 18-28.
On June 21, 1981, a suspect, Wayne B. Williams, was apprehended near
the Chattachoochee River--adumping ground for many of the victims.
Williams was subsequently charged for the murder of two adults
Jimmy Ray Payne, 21 and Nathaniel Cater, 27 and convicted on both
counts following a nineweek trial during the first part of 1982.
The books have been closed on cases that have indeed not been prose-
cuted with an understanding that they all can be linked to Wayne
Wil1iamswithout the benefit of trial by jury. There is no prece-

For this reason, we are concerned that
we may never know the circumstances surrounding our children's deaths
Questions abound in every area of the situation.
Essentially, Mr. Reynolds, I believe that the civil rights of the
children and parents have been violated for the following reasons:
1! Testimony given by Mr. Aa white male witness who alleges
that other white persons have "bragged" to him about killing "them
damn niggers." I am in possession of taped recordings detailing the
contents of his testimony.
2! Testimony given by Mrs. B-a white female witness who

consider a survivor because of his narrow escape with death. Mr. C
describes his homosexual prostitution activities with white males

activities of a club of members which included two of the victims.
4! Parents were subject

action early on; insensitive

and improper police procedures;--all of
victims were black and not white.
5! In many instances, citizens desiring to offer information

investigative authorities. Even parents offer of information was
often ignored or simply refused.

procedure. As a matter of information, court documents,
depositions, and other testimony provide identities of such persons.
The following discussion attempts to elaborate on the reasons listed
above.
Mr. A--A White Male Witness
On August 14, 1982, at his request, I visited the home of a middle-
aged white male in Atlanta hereafter referred to as Mr. A! who gave
a comprehensive accounting of the implementation of a calculated plan
by whites to kill the black children. An excerpt from that conversa-
tion follows:

to take the lives of Atlanta's black children?"
A. "Yes ma'am. Sure do. I mean, let me put it this

they was black, they'd come home and tell their grand-
mother, and then she'd say, them damn little niggers,
if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have got in a fight
like that.

Klux was killing colored people and carrying them

again."
At another taping in Mr. A's home, he reported:
"My son was bragging and said that he killed the one
that was stabbed in the stomach--the One that was found
over there off Moreland.
As
ofa matter of information, Mr. A lives in a predominantly black area
Atlanta. A resident of fifteen years at that address, he is one
of the few whites that has remained in his community despite the high
incidence of white flight common to urban transition. Mr. A and his
family, themselves being poor, lived a similar lifestyle as their_
black neighbors. His immediate family members, whom he accuses of
mass murder, were frustrated by having to contend with their black V

teenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Despite its potential for providing answers to the most heinous mass
murders in the history of this country, Mr. A's testimony was ignored
and door were closed to him at every level of law enforcement. It is
questionnable whether his testimony would have been denied if 30 whites
had been slain instead of 30 blacks.
Mrs. B--A White Female Witness
Through a mutual acquaintance, I met Mrs. B and her husband who report _
a number of experiences surrounding a suspect who they believe to have ;
young black boys in homosexual trysts. She believes her life to be
in danger because the suspect is aware of her suspicion. Her testimony
however, does not put the suspect with any of the victims.

Mr. C5A Young black Male 61
Mr. C is a young man, not retarded but slow in some ways, who reports
that he is a part of a group of youngsters who engage in homosexual
prostitution. He espresses a disgust at his involvement and an
interest in getting out. His friend, however, in an.effort to get out
was assaulted by fellow members of the homosexual club and because of
this, Mr. C. fears that he, too, will be hurt. Mr. C does, in fact,
link two child victims as former members of the club who accompanied
him on many occasions on "jobs."
§arent§;Cite_Reasons,for_Civil Rightszyiglatigns
Parents cite a number of reasons why they believe their children's
civil rights have been violated. The following comments describe
their major concerns.
Batrick_Ba1tazar --
Mrs. Sheila Baltazar questions the motivation of the Task Force
which directed her son, Patrick, to another department when he called
for help. She is further perplexed since his.name was officially on
Task Force list and he gave his name and reported that he was being
followed. This telephone call is part of the public record which was
aired on local television.
§os§ph_"{Q:{9[WBell
Mrs. Doris Bell believes that Wayne Williams did, in fact, kill
her son and wonders why he can not or will not be brought to trial for
it. Basing her conclusion on testimony by siblings, she thinks that
if the victims were white, Wayne Williams would be brought to trial
for all victims connected to his pattern, and tried for each.
Alfred Evans --
Mrs. Lois Evans questions the handling of her son's case during
the period he was missing. The Atlanta Police withheld from her the
fact that her son had been found by them and buried by them without
her knowledge. Mrs. Evans who had reported her son missing fourteen
months prior to this announcement does not understand why law enforce-
ment officials felt the need to deny her the opportunity to identify
her son.
Aaron Jackson
Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Jackson would like to know why Wayne Williams
was not investigated earlier when their son talked about a "Williams
acquaintance" of his. The victims testimony was given to police but,

Lubie Geterf7" W.
Mrs. Assie Geter is disturbed by the informality and indiffe-
rent manner in which business is carried out in the Homicide Divi-
sion of the Atlanta Police Department. She reports that her son's
case was only pursued when a family member, also a police officer,
saw the report of Lubie's death on a shelf, unattended, and took
it upon himself to bring it to the attention of the proper authori-
ties.
Timothy Hill
Mrs. Annie Hill is disturbed by the way that people have
smeared the reputations of the children. She desperately wants
closed cases open and brought to trial.
Chrietoaher Bignardson
Mrs. Selena Cobb is upset because of the blatant racism she
experienced with the DeKalb Police investigating officer who
refused to come inside her home but rather sent for her and pro-
ceeded to investigate the case as she sat in her patrol car. Mrs.
Cobb does not believe that the rich white residents of Dunwoody
would have been treated in like manner.
Patrick Rogers
Mrs. Annie Rogers believes that her son's rights were violated
because Cobb County closed the case on her son, Patrick, despite

Observations made by parents above are also commonly shared by many
At1antansmany of whom welcome the opportunity to repeat their
observations and experiences that might hopefully bring an end to
this nightmare.
Police Indifference
Parents contend that the establishment of the special Task Force was
a much delayed reaction. They report that only after five of the
children deaths in the face of constant cries for a special investi-
gation was a special Task Force set up to handle the cases. They
could not understand the obvious limited value that was being placed
on investigating such a terrible string of murders of their
children.
They are now enraged at the sharp contrast that has appeared with the
recent attempted murder of Atlanta lawyer Hirsch Friedman. Within
48 hours after the attempt on this white citizen's life, a Task
Force was established to investigate it. Even the FBI announced
within 72 hours after the attempt that they would officially enter
the investigating citing that their intervention was because of a
possible violation of Friedman's civil rights. see enclosed news
clippings.!
The questions now on the parents minds*aHd Certainly Valid 0neS--
1! Were our dead black children from Atlanta's ghettos subject to
the same equal rights of the law as an influential white male lawyer
from Atlanta's affluent Northside? 2! Had the children been white
would the establishment of the Task Force taken place much quicker?
I, too, am bewildered and at a loss to understand the difference in
treatment in the two cases. Is it because of color?
I I
Conclusion
Mr. Reynolds, the case of Atlanta's missing and murdered children
is one of the most heinous and bizarre crimes ever committee in the
country and indeed the world. Because of it, even the closure of the
cases is one of the most talked about subjects in the city of Atlanta
The evidence presented above would provoke the question in the mind
of any constitutional lawyer as to the violation of the civil rights
of these young black children. Further, it strongly suggests that a
person or persons still running free were responsible for some of
these children's deaths.

It continues to stagger the imagination of how poor blacks can be
denied their civil rights almost twenty years after the passage
of a law that guarantees it for them.
Hirsch Friedman is truly blessed because the same Civil Rights Act
of 1964 that was designed to protect the civil rights of all
Americans regardless of race, colori religion, or national origin
is the very same vehicle by which you exercised authority to
officially enter his investigation. .
Mr. Reynolds, we seek that same equal protection under the law and
trust that you will move with the same speed in responding to my
call to give relief to the parents of Atlanta's missing and murdered
children.

Memorandum W. F. Cronin to Mr. Doran '
Re: Presentation of Technical Papers
Dealing with the Fiber Evidence Used
During the Wayne Williams Murder
Trial ATKID!
The MAFS is presenting a panel discussion entitled, "Fiber
Evidence Presented by the State of Georgia in the case of State vs.
Wayne Williams. " This discussion is tentatively scheduled to be held
Thursday afternoon, October 28, 1982, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00p. rn.
Although a final format has not been set, it is expected that several
individuals who testified for the prosecution will be involved in this
panel discussion.
SA_ has presented a discussion of the Williams Case on
several occasions within the FBI and is also planning to attend and present
a paper at the Interamerican Congress of Forensic Sciences Meeting. He
is also preparing an article for the Law Enforcement Bulletin and a more
technical paper on the Williams Case for publication in a forensic science
journal. It is felt, however, that details about this case should be pre-
sented to as many people as possible in the forensic science community.
It is almost impossible for someone outside the actual investigation of a
case such as the ATKID investigation to obtain an accurate picture of
the evidence introduced at the trial and the significance of that evidence.
Fiber evidence received a tremendous amount of publicity as a result
of the Williams Case and, because of this publicity, ber evidence should
become more widely used in criminal cases in the future. Considerable
information about the presentation of fiber evidence at a criminal trial was
developed during the ATKID case. This information should be made
available to all fiber examiners. Presentations of the type discussed in
this memorandum are an excellent way of getting the above information
to the forensic science community. These talks should also serve to make
forensic scientists aware of the involvement of the FBI in the Williams Case.
Because the Williams Trial involved non- Federal violations and was pro-
secuted by the District Attorney's Office of Fulton County, Georgia, it
may not be well known that the FBI was very instrumental in the development
of Williams as a suspect and his subsequent convictions on two counts of
murder.
Doctor Randell Bresee, an Assistant Professor in the Department
of Interior Design at Kansas State University, was the defense expert
who attacked fiber evidence in general and specifically the fiber evidence

Trial ATKID!
introduction at the trial. It is doubtful that Bresee is going to participate
in the MAFS panel discussion but Bresee, who is very critical of the ability
of crime laboratories to examine and compare fibers, is known to many of
the members of the MAFS and has oreviously presented a paper on textile
fiber analysis at one of their meetings. A large number of questions will
necessarily be raised concerning Bresees attack on crime laboratories in
general and our reliance of microscooical orocedures for fiber comoarisons.
A scientific meeting is the proper place to defend our procedures used in the
Williams Trial and uoint out the errors in many of Bresees statements and
arguments. It should be noted that Bresee used his appearance at the trial
as a forum for pI'6S8ntir1g his ideas on fiber analysis and his feelings on
crime laboratories and did very little actual analysis of the evidence in this
C8S¬. ,/
The cost for SA _to attend these two meetings, each
of which is two days duration, is as follows: The MAAFS meeting in
Rosslyn, Virginia, will involve a registration fee of $30. 00 but no travel orper diem costs. SA F a member of the MAAFS. The MAFS
meeting in Chicago, inois, will involve registration, travel and per diem
expense of approximately $400.
It should be noted that discussion by SA -at these ?
meetings will adhere to the policy of the Fulton County District Attorneys
Office which is to not speak publicly about any evidence connecting Williams
to any other victims except those named in the indictment and those used
during the trial as similar transactions. This policy was set forth in a
letter from Gordon I-I. Miller, Assistant District Attorney, Atlanta Judicial
District, to Thomas F. Kelleher on May 4, 1982, and a copy of that letter
is attached to this memorandum.

Dear Mr. Kelleher:
Special Agent inquired about
our policy with regard to talking with the media
about the Wayne Williams case now that the trial is
over. While we certainly do not in any way purport
to dictate to the FBI what its policy should be,
our policy is offered only for your consideration.
The "gag" order that was imposed by the trial
Judge ended when the defendant was sentenced. However,
since we do not want to say anything publicly that
might adversely affect the appeal or unnecessarily
incite the community, we have madefit a policy not
to speak publicly about any evidence connecting
Hilliams to any other victims except those named
in the indictment and those used during the trial
as similar transactions. We will also refuse comment
on any other potential suspects which may have been
developed during the course of the investigation.
In summary, our public comments have been
restricted to the evidence introduced at the trial
itelfa
Trusting that this may be of some value to
you, I remain, with kindest personal regards,
y tru our& s§l Gordon H. Mille

The Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights has
aske me to respond to your letter of August 19, 1982 concerning
the investigation into the matter of the missing and murdered
children in Atlanta. '
he you know, the Teak Force which investated this offense
was nade up of State and Federal agents. You may be sure that
all the evidence was carefully evaluated to determine whether
violation: of State or Federal statutes existed. After careful
examination of the evidence, Federal authorities concluded
that no violations of the Federal criminal Itetutes could be
established in any of the cases handled by the Task Force.
,we are referring your latter to the FBI in Atlanta 5{or consideration of the new evidence which you have brought yi
to our attention.

Dear Hr. Reynolds:
After a nine-week trial in early l982,§

investigative treat-
ment given their children's murders and enraged at the knowledge that
the conviction of Williams for two murders would suffice for all of
them, sought my assistance for justice beyond the state of Georgia.
They contend that their children were killed because they were black
and that they, themselves, have been treated as second-class citizens
in their effort to seek relief because they, too, are poor and black.
Furthermore, their opinions are substantiated by extensive testimony
in the form of written and recorded information which provide names,
dates, and places suggesting a racist intent in the children's
murders. -

an important stewardship responsibility to respond to the parents in
their request.
After a careful study and review of the information, I am led to
believe that the parents contention that discrimination was the
motive in their ohildren's deaths is, indeed, a valid one.
It is in the parents behalf that I write this le erftopnesentg

that the children's civil rights have been violated{ Further I am
charging that the improper and indifferent treatment accorded the
children's deaths by law enforcement officials and the inadequate
and insensitive response to parents is proof-positive that they
were ignored because of color. It is fair to assume that our
government leaders would have declared a state of emergency and
conceivably a state oi ear} had the thirty victims been shite,
slain en masse, and virtually ignored by law enforcement officials.
In my response to the parents to seek justice beyond the state of
Georgia, I appeal to you under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, Section 902 which authorizes the intervention of the United
States government in civil rights cases. It states:
"Whenever an action has been commenced in any
court of the United States seeking relief
from the denial of equal protection of the
laws under the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution on account of race, color, reli-
gion, or national origin, the Attorney General
for and in the name of the United States may
intervene in such action upon timely applica-
tion if the Attorney General certifies that
the case is of general public importance. In
such action the United States shall be entit-
led to the same relief as if it had instituted
the action." .

During the summer of 1979, a crisis of unparalled proportions came
to light in Atlanta, Georgia that was to continue for the next two
years. Black children and young adults were murdered in massive
numbers. The murderer s! of unknown identity stalked the streets
of the city snatching and killing our children and dropping their
bodies along highways, byways, and in rivers.
During the period, a total of thirty young persons were identified
as victims oi the mass slaying and placed on an official Task Force
List for on-going investigation. The group included twenty-five
5! children and five ! young adults. Children ages ranged from

On June 21, 1981, a suspect, Wayne B. Iilliams, was apprehended near

Questions abound in every area of the situation.
Essentially, Hr. Reynolds, I believe that the civil rights of the
children and parents have been violated for the following reasons:
1! Testimony given by Hr. Aeea white male witness who alleges
that other white persons have "bragged" to him about killing "them
damn niggers." I am in possession of
contents of his testimony.
2! Testimony given by Mrs. B--ataped recordings detailing the
white female witness who
reports that an acquaintance is killing the children to hide his
homosexual activity with the boys. Hrs. B has detailed her observa-
tions in a written report and submitted it to me.

your wife's mother hated the fact that your sons,
who are white, went to school and played with the
'co1ored' boys-do you think that could be a

to take the lives oi Atlanta's black children?"
A. "Yes ma'am. Sure do. I mean, let me put it this
way. They say, the South down here-the white people,
the colored people and all- Linco1n freed the slaves,

...Every morning she wife's mother! would come over
here and have a cup of co-fee with us before she went
to work-and she was constantly every morning pouring
that garbage in my kids heads.
...She didn't talk about one specific boy--she didn't
know one specific boy--she just, cuss my French--she
just said them damn niggers running over everybody.
They were going to school with them down here at
Benteen and them kids would get in fusses and fights
Just like any kids do--you know--but yet Just because
they was black, they'd come home and tell their grand-
mother, and then she'd say, them damn little niggers,
if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have got in a fight
like that.
...Constantly, every morning, she'd come over here and

Klux was killing colored people and carrying them to
the river in a wagon, and she was bragging to them
young'uns and all--saying that's what they ought to do
again."
At another taping in Hr. A's home, he reported:
"Hy son was bragging and said that he killed the one
that was stabbed in the stomach--the one that was found
over there off Moreland.
a matter of information, Ir. A lives in a predominantly black area
Atlanta. A resident of fifteen years at that address, he is one
the few whites that has remained in his community despite the high
incidence of white flight common to urban transition. Hr. A and his
family, themselves being poor, lived a similar Qifestyle as their
black neighbors. His immediate family members,jibem,hé"aecuses of

was amazed at not only his knowledge of the children but also the
parents. He greeted us and upon recognizing Hrs. Annie Rogers
said,"Good evening, you're Miss Rogers, aren't you--Patrict Rogers
was your boy."
Hr. A claims to have an understanding of the route used by his family
in the placement of the bodies. He says that his relatives motor
home was used to:
1! Drop bodies in the Chattahoochee River from the side door of
the vehicle; and
2! Circle the perimeter on the ground route that was used by
him Mr. A! and his wife in their employment with the Dillard Mumford
E-Z Food Shops a.k.a. Magic Markets!. He says:
"Well, there's one route--coming up 20 from Conyers
going around 285--they was stopping at ioreland Ave
down there at 285 where they was transporting the
kids from a car to the motor home. They was going
on around 285 and getting off at 166 and Campbell-
ron Road which they're both the same street! and
then turn left going to Fairburn Road and taking
another left and going down Redwine Road which is
approximately 3 miles from the E-Z Food_$hop at Fair-
burn and Campbellton.
This compelling and vivid account of hate murders as described by Mr. A
clearly violates the very same protection as established by the Four-
teenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Despite its potential for providing answers to the most heinous mass
murders in the history of this country, Hr. A's testimony was ignored
and door were closed to him at every level of law enforcement. It is
questionnable whether his testimony would have been denied if 30 whites
had been slain instead or 36 blacks.

Ir. C is a young man, not retarded but slow in some ways, who reports
that he is a part of a group of youngsters who engage in homosexual

was assaulted by fellow members of the homosexual club and because of
this, Mr. C. fears that he, too, will be hurt. Hr. C does, in fact,

Parents cite a number of reasons why they believe their children's
civil rights have been violated. The following comments describe
their major concerns.
Patrick Baltazar --
Hrs. Sheila Baltazar questions the motivation of the Task Force
which directed her son, Patrick, to another department when he called
for help. She is further perplexed since his.name was officially on
Task Force list and he gave his name and reported that he was being
followed. This telephone call is part of the public record which was
aired on local television.
Joseph,"Jo~Jo _§ell
Hrs. Doris Bell believes that ¥ayne Filliams did, in fact, kill
her son and wonders why he can not or will not be brought to trial for
it. Basing her conclusion on testimony by siblings, she thinks that
if the victims were white, Wayne Williams would be brought to trial
for all victims connected to his pattern, and tried for each.
Alfred Evans
rs. Lois Evans questions the handling of her sons case during
the period he was missing. The Atlanta Police withheld from her the
fact that her son bad been found by them and buried by them without
her knowledge. Mrs. Evans who had reported her son missing fourteen
months prior to this announcement does not understand why law enforce-gent officials felt the need to deny her the opportunity to identify
er son.
Aaron Jackson
Ir. and Hrs. Aaron Jackson would like to know why Wayne Williams
was not investigated earlier when their son talked about a "Williams
acquaintance" of his. The victims testimony was given to police but.
nevertheless, ignored.

Lubie Geter
Mrs. Assie Geter is disturbed by the informality and indiffe-
rent manner in which business is carried out in the Homicide Divi-
sion of the Atlanta Police Department. She reports that her son's
case was only pursued when a family member, also a police officer,
saw the report of Lubie's death on a shelf, unattended, and took
it upon himself to bring it to the attention of the proper authori-
ties.
Timothy Hill
Mrs. Annie Hill is disturbed by the way that people have
smeared the reputations of the children. She desperately wants the
closed cases open and brought to trial.
Christopher Richardson
Hrs. Selena Cobb is upset because of the blatant racism she
experienced with the DeXalb Police investigating officer who
refused to come inside her home but rather sent for her and pro-
ceeded to investigate the case as she sat in her patrol car. Mrs.
Cobb does not believe that the rich white residents of Dunwoody
would have been treated in like manner.
Patrick Rogers
Mrs. Annie Rogers believes that her son's rights were violated
because Cobb County closed the case on her son, Patrick, despite
the fact that prosecution attorneys during the Wayne Williams trial!
stated publicly that "they were not charging Wayne Williams with the
death of Patrick Rogers." Cobb County, however, reported that they
Cobb! do not have another suspect and have decided to close the
case. "
Earl Terrell
Hrs. Beverly Belt is concerned about many things, including the
way the parents are treated; the fact that the bones of more than
one body was often "thrown together" and aired on television. She,
too, desperately wants the closed cases open and brought to trial
so that other perpetrators may be brought to justice.
Curtis Walker
Hrs. Catherine Leach is enraged that the best kept secret from
the public in this crisis is the brutal manner in which most of the
children were mutilated. It is common to find among the bodies--
castrations, hands amputated, feet amputated,'lips and ears cut off.
as well as part of the face. Ihy, the secret?_ It reads like old
fashion racist killings. - 5 t '-- '_J' '

Darron Glass
Hrs. Fannie Hae Smith wants to know why were the_parents treated
like suspects and why did the police have so little interest in
investigating the cases. Hrs. Smith is the foster parent of Darron
Glass--the only missing child.
Observations made by parents above are also commonly shared by-many
Atlantans--many of whom welcome the opportunity to repeat their
observations and experiences that might hopefully bring an end to
this nightmare.
Qqlice Indifference
Parents contend that the establishment of the special Task Force was
a much delayed reaction. They report that only after five of the
children deaths in the face of constant cries for a special investi-
gation was a special Task Force set up to handle the cases. They
could not understand the obvious limited value that was being placed
on investigating such a terrible string of murders of their
children.
They are now enraged at the sharp contrast that has appeared with the
recent attempted murder of Atlanta lawyer Hirsch Friedman. Within
48 hours after the attempt on this white citizen's life, a Task
Force was established to investigate it. Even the FBI announced
within 72 hours after the attempt that they would officially enter
the investigating citing that their intervention was because of a
possible violation of Friedman's civil rights. see enclosed news
clippings.!
The questions now on the parents minds--and ¢ETt81B1¥ Valid 0395--
1! Were our dead black children from Atlantais ghettos subject to
the same equal rights of the law as an influential white male lawyer
from Atlanta's affluent Northside? 2! Had the children been white
would the establishment of the Task Force taken place much quicker?
I, too, am bewildered and at a loss to understand the difference in
treatment in the two cases. Is it because of color?
Qcnclusion
Ir. Reynolds, the case of Atlanta's missing and murdered children
is one of the most heinous and bizarre crimes ever committee in the
country and indeed the world. Because of it, even the closure of the
cases is one of the most talked about subjects in the city of Atlanta

It continues to stagger the imagination of how poor blacks can be
denied their civil rights almost twenty years after the passage
of a law that guarantees it for them.
Hirsch Friedman is truly blessed because the same Civil Rights Act
of 1964 that was designed to protect the civil rights of all
Americans regardless of race, color, religion, or national origin
is the yery same vehicle by which you exercised authority to
officially enter his investigation.
Mr. Reynolds, we seek that same equal protection under the law and
trust that you will move with the same speed in responding to my
call to give relief to the parents of Atlanta's missing and murdered
children.

Dr, biilrked Glover . _ q735 Lawtoh Street, s.w. /1" 73/ I-
Atlanta, Georgia 30310 _
Dear Dr. Glover:
On August 5 at your request we net with a nurrber of the mothers of
Atlanta's nmrdered an missing children. During the meeting, as you
recall, several mothers of the slain children expressed concern about the
manner in whieh the Atlanta Task Force conducted its investigation into
the deaths of these children and about the apparently unresolved status
of sone of the cases. The tragic loss experienced by each of these
families and the Atlanta crnnmnity was apparent fICHlthE emotion and
depth of concern frcm which they spoke.
Following the meeting, the concerns expressed by these women were
brought to the attention of the Attorney General; in addition we reviewed
the status of each of the cases assigned to the Task Force for investiga~
tion, As you are aware, Wayne Williams was oonvicted for the murders of
Nathaniel Cater and Jinmy Ray Payne, and has been sentenced to two con-/secutive life terms. Furthermore, evidence which linked.Mr. Williams to/41
the deaths of ten other young men, whose cases had been assigned to theG OCT 181982/S11?
/i1/
/' V
Task Force, was introduced by the prosecution at the Cater~Payne trial.*_"
In addition, the Task Force developed evidence related to other deaths of
children, whose cases were assigned to the Task Force, which was c0nsist
ant with Mr. Williams responsibility for such deaths but was insufficient
to support his prosecution for such homicides. Of those cases assigned
to the Task Form, there remain wven deaths, including those of
young girls, about which the investigation has not developed sufficientevidence to make any reliable judgent of Fe nsibility. Georgia author-ities continue to investigate these urxsolvecises. __,, ,, _ ,DE-11,18 ' ./ / "' _'.
As we emphasized during the course of th meeting, the statute of
limitations never bars murder prosecutions, and unsolved homicide inves-
tigations are always subject to new investigative efforts based upon new»
ly discovered evidence, even though active investigation may be suspended

these cases, as in others, if and when new evidence is developed, such
evidence will be brought to bear on those unsolved cases. We -also ejmpha;
size that the primary responsibility for investigating and prosecuting
these cases rests with the Georgia authorities. If there is §ignificant
new evidence which has not yet been explored, you should make that" infor-

advised that the information which you forwarded to Mr. William Bradford

provided does not constitute the basis for a violation of any federal civil
rights statute. We do not at this time anticipate further Department of
