sin, and I hold no brief for them.
However, I protest on principle the FBI in any way
tempting a person to commit a crime that he might not
Otherwise commit,
The FBI has the honorable mission of investigating
crime, but never of inducing anyone to commit crime.
I hope that this sort of thing will be stopped and
vnever done again. It is unworthy of us as a nation,
and of you ag an agency.
Very

Congressman Bob Traxler
2448 Rayburn House Office Bldg.
Washington, D.C. 20515- v
Dear Congressman Traxler:
I was listening to a broadcast this morning relative to the
i tions that resulted therefrom and ABSCAM situation, the conv c
the congressional hearings going on relative to some of these
people. The thought occurred to me while listening: who
decided which congressmen would be offered bribes and why did
this person decide to pick the congressmen he picked?
It seems to me that this Question might be even more important
than whether someone was or was not involved in ABSCAM. Is
this an effort by someone in the FBI, or someone orchestratingthe FBI to force the Congress to knuckle under to the "clout"
of the FBI? I would rea 1y be interested in your reaction to
these questions and I would be even more interested in seeing
111 for an investigation into the _ resolution introduced ca ng ~
questions of "who" and "why" these particular congressmen were
offered bribes. .?92 1

I believe I speak for millions of Americans when I extend our appreciation,our total
support and heart felt thanksfor the magnificent work you and your people are doing
in behalf of our great nation. You and your organization of skilled investigators
have brought back the respect and admiration to the FBI that was lost with the reign
of the selfserving Edgar Hoover.
The FBI&#39;s great accomplishments with the "ABSCAM" project has lit the "Lamp of Hope"
that now something is being done to assure the Tax-payer that the "Elected or Ap-
pointed" individual will perform their duties honestly,diligently and to the best
interest of our country. Too many individuals enter government servire with the prime
purpose of using the "Power" of thier Office for personal gain believing that the
"Political" position gives them licensee to steal, accept graft and gifts while neg-
lecting the purpose and responsibilities of their office or job. We elect them and
support them with our tax dollars believing that they will honestly live up to their
promises only to learn later that they betrayed their word and our trust. Such people

| Subject: ANOTHER POINI OF VIEW i
Spokesman: Roger Young, Federal Bureau of Investigation
Broadcast: January 17, 1981
Several weeks ago, KSL criticized the "Abscam" investigation conducted by
the F.B.I. In response, Mr. Roger Young wrote from Federal Bureau of
92 Investigation headquarters in Washington, D.C. He said, in part  quote!:
". . . Some crimes, such as public corruption, would rarely be
92 discovered or prosecuted without undercover activity. Both. the
person offering the bribe and the person accepting it are covert
 in their criminal arrangement. Since bribery has no traditional
victim, except the unknowing citizen/taxpayer, there is no one to
cans forth and report the crime.
"All of our mdercover operatims, including Abscan, are targeted
toward criminality, not individuals or institutions. The Abscan
case began as an investigation into stolen art in New York and
from there led to allegations of illegality in the New Jersey
J casinos. Eventually the trail of alleged criminality led us to
national public officials."
F.B.I. Inspector Young continued: ,
"Undercover operations do not &#39;cause&#39; crime; they merely provide
an opportunity for those inclined to br% the law to do so while
7 the goverrment cowiles the evidence. By detecting criminals vino
would have otherwise gone mdiscovered, these xndercover activities
also may discourage similar criminal activity.r?
92
"The FBI. is coumitted to using its investigative tools lawfully and
agressively to make the greatest possible impact upon major areas
of criminality. We believe that our undercover operations,
including Abscam, are an essential elanmt of that commitment."
 KSL thanks Inspector Roger Young of the F.B.I. for his ccmnents. y

March. -1?, 1931
Regarding the editor&#39;s editorial on the FBI whiah appeared in February
1981 issue, I, as an American citizen, take exception to the editor&#39;s
remarks cnncurning AESCAM. What&#39;s ynur problem, Hr. Ed1Lor? Are yentrying to make a case of ingocenne for a congressman who gut his handcaught in the coakie jar? A.crqok is a crook regardless of who he is
and Im grateful far the FBI&#39;s handling of the ABSEAM which every
citizen Italked ta in also in agreement with the and results.
Yen qunte statistics like a supposed authority. Your comments are not
germane to the evidence gathered.
HI. Webster, irector of the FBI, gets my vote mi confidence and as far
as 1m cancarned any elected official who aacepts maney under any pre-tense ether than his paycheck and legitimate expenses is guilty of the
worst kind sf crime. Betrayal sf the public trust, Hr. Editur, is what
most citizens are upset about. So out on the street and aak the averagecitizen what.he objects ta and you will discaver that he or she is totallyagainst untrustworthy political peogle of all levels, and at least Mr.Webster is txying to de something about the prublem that we all suspected
but no one but Mr. Webster had the guts to do something about. Thats
maze than can be said for Fat Jack.

FUR rmmy muntirs the Arnertccm puhllr has been tmuted ta
lwir-réqising drama thrwgir the murtwrsy at at gwemrment
agency. "The curtain raiser I-ms lled many lusci-natirtg mam
wgmentr an televiritm and in the rather media.
the drama tmsnll the intrigue of at James 8-and movie. The
deter: are government emplayees and the broad awtline: af
the script ware prepared try u government agency. The
dmmatit s-at-lets is titled ABSCAM.
The productian was the work of the Federal Bureau of
lnvestigutlnn. The plot was simple. Dangle malt before
eluted airiuls to test whether 0 $5G, J§t payaft will secure
some promise at political irxvor. Yhe mp qpem inmlved the
rental" 0? "u swank Washington, D.C., I-rum: alubnmtaly
quipped with secret cameras and retarding dmricm, luxuri-
Qusltetel suites, at plush 62-tout ynclst and an extensive cut!
including about W0 PB! agents.
The results went anything but mm-plimentary ta Congress
ut comlnrting tr: the public which rzltrmt certain Q-Hiriuls. The
televised wanes at cartgressmerr stuffing rrrqnay into their
packets and using at vogubulcrry elwragteristic at X-rated
mcwies was amt ediiying. It mrttzltily itrnmntlietl the lnger
at itlécting olrink on the basis =s?&#39;,c?mtsn1=a and pramims
mtlwr than on character and performrsruse.
But the gntlte ABSCAM raperatinr: raises seriam quastisns.
Shauld the PB! pet-It its resources into such an elimt? Are there
mere pressing priwlties?" is the wttule idea of dnvisirrg
hmwezty tests for ultirlrslr. and citixens Quad paltry? res the
gume approach uiétzl entrapment?
The FBI is respcmsiblz for et92§br:i~ng teéerul laws. it has

William H. Webster bezrrma bureau cltieflin 3913 it has given
prcrrsirterrce ta se-culled white-collar crime. ABSCJKM was
gr-art at this new oliensiva.
But while the $8! was {Musing ltsenergies an ABSC.t§jM the
wuntry experienced the sharpest rise in trims tn fwr years.
The latest annual statistics released by the agency slww that
crime rose l:y9.t %. Violent rrtma was up I 1%. Fvrcible rope
incraoarl by 14.1%; robtaery by 12%; nggruvntnd assault
by lilyl %; and murder by 9.3%; it that sum: time arrests lw
itlt crimes fuilad tn keep up with Ilsa rise in crime statistics.
Arrests increased by only 3%. Na arrests were made in 73%
rt! the robberies; 86% at the motor vehicle: tt-wits; 85% of thru-
burglariu; 83% of the larceny tltes; 52% at the frmible
rapes; 41% at the nggravrsted assaults; and 217% of ti»
murders.
The rising, {time rule it anything but rtntourugittg. it recent
repm on crime sponsored by Aif-O Inc. pointed rs glnntny
picture of an U5. citizenry paralyzed by fear. The stuely was
bosed an interviews with mare than ll 310$! mrsdnmlyBa we want 0 Federal
_ Bureau Gf Ins-ligation?
In view of the alarming tncreusr in violent crime and the
dreanlful effect tltii is having on suctety, why dues ll-w uffiriul
lulertsl agency instituted to fight crime spend its resources on
ABSCIAM umpada? 9310-ultl the karma instigate r-is well as
investigate crime?
U5. District  hurt Judge Jrtlirr Ptrllum has mid Na-I" to
the lust questiun and 110$ werturnecl the cenvictirm of rwa
ABSGQM virtims. Two mpmbers at the Pl5i~lu£l£lpl&#39;il City

rwertursued it. He cledrmttl the F5! bud mrerstepped the
Ewundr rs! pmpriety. The evidence establish: enlwymtrh
he stated.
"Ho one win but viewed the videotaped vavideme in this

But, in the tang run, the rights at all attizens nut to be led
int: criminal activlty by gcwemmentctl averrecclting will
remain secure only so lung as time caurts stand randy ta

Whether ur mt! the iuclges decisiaa will be sustained an
appeal remains a qua.-sticm. Some current lrrstmctiarss ta the

the fart that government agents merely nlftmsl rm appr-

Ilse whole question of tempting pea;-la into crime is
mucky. One paint is I-new big shrsulsi tlt-2 temptation ha, in
ABSCQM therash bait apparently war! limite-6 ta $503300.
And same individuals irmlami refused the in-tit. But supp/an it
were raised ta $tB0,DlZt0. Then to $506,806. than ta $1

ABSCAM and Temptation
As one who served for over 35 years
with the Federal Bureau of
investigation, I am shoclrecbat tl&#39;i§
February editorial, Do we.want a
Federal Bureau of instigation?
You allege entrapment by FBI agents
but do not mention that the entire
activity in ABSCAM was approved and
constantly monitored by high officials
of the Department of Justice and by FBI
Director William H. Webster, himself a
former federal judge. You cite one
instance where U.S. District Judge John
P. Fullam overturned two convictions
for alleged entrapment of ABSCAM * if
victims, but you do not list the other
ABSCAM cases. - -

, .- I feel the FBI should pursue
vigorously white-collar crime in order to
prosecute corruption by public officials
wherever it rears its ugly head.
Experience has shown how difficult it
has been legally to root out and
prosecute successfully such corruption
and, therefore, new approaches such as
sting programs" by law enforcement
are necessary. They have been very -&#39;
successful and in most instances have
withstood court challenges
&#39; &#39; Your editorial touches on the legal l
definition of entrapment and notes that
where o person is predisposed to 5
commit an offense, the fact that
government agents merely afford him &#39;
an opportunity to do so does not
constitute entrapment.
Common sense says that a public
official imbued with honesty and
integrity has but to say No when s
offered o bribe. 
&#39; , Your editorial alleges that while the
F8! was focusing its energies on
ABSCAM, the country experienced its
sharpest rise in crime in four years. You
do not tell readers that the FBI does not
have jurisdiction over local crimes such
as rape, robbery, assault, murder, etc.,
unless the crime occurs on a &#39;
government reservation. Your censure
in this connection should be directed to
-gppraprlctfe local authorities, not thea  1 as  1 &#39;
I iust have finished your February
Comment and found it most
interesting. y  »
But l still don&#39;t have an answer to
something you brought up.
A jury of t2 good men and women
listened to the evidence in o case,
Iastingsome weeks. With all I2 in
agreement, a verdict was presentecL1o
the judge, who overturned the findings
and reversed the verdict. Why should so
many people lose their valuable time
on jury duty, when a iudge has the
final say?
William E. Roche
Java Center, N.Y.
As a former special agent of the FBI I
disassociate myself from the views
expressed in the February issue with
regard to the FBI.
The article is an insult and affront to
the FBI and all of its employees, both
past and present. The record of the FBI
in its service in the law-enforcement
field and in its contributions to the
internal security of our country speaks
for itself.
Joseph M. Wysolmerslri
McLean, Va.
 As an FBI agent I disagree with the
February Comment.-
ln ABSCAM, every precaution was
taken to ensure that "entrapment" did
not occur. You speak of temptation and
its evils. Yes. the FBI offered .
temptation. It is the proper role of the
FBI to offer temptation in an
investigation such as this. There was
probable cause to offer that
temptation. However none of the
congressmen has established sufficient
probable cause for accepting it. F -
IPossibly the proper role of me FBI _
would be to prosecute burglars and l
robbers and ignore the fences who
encourage thefts by buying stolen Y »
property». I disagree with that
hypothesis, iust as I disagree that the
FBI should act as an ostrich and ignore
allegations of congressional misconduct,
which have a greater impact on our
moral fabric. "
William P. lavvler Jr.
Savannah, Ga.
No member of Congress or the T
president of the United States should
use the defense of "entrapment." Any
member of the Senate, House ofRepresentatives or the White House I ,m,,,. ,.
accepts an illegal bribe regardless
the circumstances. _ _ r
&#39; One representative arrested in the ~
ABSCAM operation was Richard Kelly
from Florida. _I voted for him. I hope he
goes to fail, To thinlr that a man who
represents me would talce an illegal
bribe for any amount of money or for
any gain causes me to believe that
there is no hope for our form of , - .
government. I say more power to the
-FBI. I hope that it weeds out every
rotten apple in the entire government
operation.   .

The president of United Cement,

has asked me to write for permission to
use in our niagazine your February
I981 editorial, Do We want a Federal
Bureau of Inlstigation?" &#39;
It is a fine editorial and we would be
very pleased if you would let us reprintit. = ~ -
Patricio H. Strandt
iii  Managing Editor, The Voice
- yr; ;~ Narridge, Ill, .. s
After lean-hing some members of
Congress wdre accepting bribes for
political favbrs, I am happy the FBI had
the courageto root them out and cause
them to be brought to trial before cs
iury of their peers, which convicted l
every one of them.
Attempting to smear the FBI for the
crime wave in America is a distortion of
the purpose of the FBI, which is
charged with investigation of selected I
federal laws and cannot go charging
off investigating what it desires.I J. H. Murphy -I I
1;  Savannah, Ga.
Time and money were well spent on
the ABSCAM case, because the people
caught had reputations for accepting
bribes. The moralityexhibited by our 1elected officials influences the morality I
of the general public and young people
in particular. We safely can assume an
officeholder is elected for his promises
and integrity, not for his dishonesty
and greed. By accepting a bribe an
elected official is betraying the trust of
the people who elected him and hurts
all, including honest politici bydestroying faith &#39; ovem  .1.:

The individuals convicted in ABSCAM
did willingly involve themselves in a
situation that is contrary to U.S. laws
and contrary to the basic rules of right
and wrong.
Who tempted them is actually
irrelevant, be it the FBI or Satan
himself.
For those truly in tune with the lord,
it is not the temptation that is all
powerful, but tho knowledge of right
nd Wrohg. V
_ If it is not the right of the FBI to checlc
on the honesty of lawmakers, then
who will do it?
. P. A. Bureli
Wausau, Wis.
ABSCAM, which exposed the weak -
and greedy trash that has infiltrated
Congress, was a breath of fresh air tothose who still believe in honesty,integrity and the moral values instilled»
by our foreboarers.
The members of Congress involved in
ABSCAM were elected to represent
their constituents in the legislativeprocess, not to engage in monetary and
moral gymnastics ior personal gain.
What&#39;s the difference whether the FBI
used entrapment or some other law-
enfarcement device? A crools is a croolt,
and how his intent to commit" is
exposed, should be a secondary
consideration.George M. Burclrfield
Huntsville, Ala.
White-collar crime has become so
pervasive far politicians andbusinessmen that it is destroying belief
that our society is fundamentally fair
and iust. Q society cannot endure
which teaches its people through
constant and powerful examples thatcorruption is to be expected and actionsin the public interest are for the naive.
in this way, white-collar crime is more
damaging than violent crime.
&#39; &#39; if these criminals are successful in
convincing the courts that ABSCAM
operations constitute entrapment they
will succeed in making white<oliar
criminals immune to prosecution. Suchimmunity encourages crime of all typos,
and is far more devastating to oursociety than last years l&#39;i°/o increase in
violent crimes.Martin c. Giui &#39;
V Camp $prings, Md.
Any U.S. congressman or other high
elected official who willingly taltes a
bribe is a real criminal and should beprosecuted to the fullest extent of thed  1... if

White-collar crime demands different
investigative techniques by law-
enforcement officers than a street
robbery, for instance. lam appalled by
the suggestion that the Fbl instigated
criminal activity. The FBI provided only
the opportunity for suspects to matte
the first move.
The American people are ripped off
more each year by white-collar crime
than by all the street robberies puttogether. l hope the FBI and other law-
enforcement agencies continue their
work of ferroting out the crooks in
government and prosecuting them.
iilllp I. Willi_ Alpena, Mich. l/
A crook is a crook regardless of who
he is and l&#39;m grateful for the fBl&#39;s
handling of ABSCAM. Any elected &#39;official who accepts money under any Mpretense other than his paycheck and
legitimate expenses is guilty of the
worst lcind of crime, betrayal of the
public trust. ; _
FBI Director Webster is trying to do
something about the problem that we
all suspected but no one but Webster
had the guts to do something about.
Earl W. Kurislt l
Centerville, Ohio
All the ABSCAM targets were over
21 and elected officials who should
have high standards and be girreproachable. l think the FBI did a
very good iob in getting rid of these
undesirables before they sold us dawn
the drain.Edward J. MsGlorte _

Having served some 35 years in law
enforcement, I thought most - &#39;
knowledgeable Christians were aware
that crime will not be reduced merely
by arresting and imprisaning the
bums, those on booze or other drugs,
the poor and mentally disturbed. &#39;i&#39;hese
and other selects of a godless and
uncompassionate secular society _ .
commit over 50 percent of the crimes of
violence in this country.
V Greed and materialism, such as
exhibited by our congressmen, nurturethe growth of crime. No amount of &#39;
money, no increase in the number of
policemen alone will reduce crime.
Crime will not be reduced without a

in ABSCAM temptation was notdangled in front of ordinary citizens but
of officials who got where they are byportraying to be above the ordinary in
intellect, creativity, character andintegrity. They are to set an example. if
we can excuse such above ordinary &#39;
citizens from temptation, then should
we not excuse him who finds -
temptation in a pretty girl to be raped,
an expensive sports-car to be stolen, a
banlr to be robbed or a feeble, elderly
person to be mugged? if a governmentofficial is not strong enough to resist ~ &#39;
temptation why should anyone resist?

Gentlemen
I applaud you for your Operation ABSCAM, with you one hundred and one
percent. Who but the ones in question should express criticism of
your organization for uncovering those so-called leaders who aren&#39;t
so clean. Wish it could have been broadened to uncover them all, but
those who were caught willing to aggrandize themselves by foul means
will serve to alert any other prospective types of that ilk.
My desire is for CLEAN GOVERNMENT, CLEAN AND HONEST LEADERS. We in my
family were raised to respect authority, to look up to and respect our
leaders. I neither look up to nor respect the unworthy. Would you
look up to dirt?
The term "entrapment" has been and is being used by and for them in
defense of their dishonest moves. I say this: an honest man cannot
be trapped into stealthily stuffing his brief case with ill-gotten
no time telling them to get lost.cash. He may be trapped into keeping the appointment, but upon learn-
ing the premise that goes with the promise, the honest man would lose
6 Not to create more in the way of bureaucracy, but we can surely use 7
more of this type of "oversighting" and "overseeing" -- and I can&#39;t
think of a better organization to do it than our Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
