Society, this was to be a nonprofit corporation symbolic
of friendship and cultural exchange between Libya and the
United States which had been used by other groups in the '
United States and to his knowledge was the brain child
of the ArabicAmerican Chamber of Commerce in New York'
City. He stated that the Libyans had given them a copy
or sample of a charter which had been previously used and
that this was shown to Attorney DAVID GAMBRELL in Atlanta,
Georgia, to have a charter or corporation drawn up. He
advised that this was done and was signed by himself, as
well as some fifty or sixty others in a gesture of friendship
at a reception at the Hilton Hotel during the visit of the -
Libyan delegation to Atlanta in January, 1979. He stated
that to his knowledge, nothing has ever been done with this
corporate paper and has not been submitted to the Georgia
State Corporation Commission. ~- -.

of an "Advice of Rights" form, which he read and statedhe understood but did not wish to sign. He then voluntarily
furnished the following information:
In June, 1978, Georgia State Senator FLOYD HUDGINS*at Columbus, Georgia, had been in touch with him inquiringif he thought that BILLY CARTER might be willing to go ona trip to Libya at Libyan Government expense. COLEMAN statedhe knew nothing about Libya other than that they were having terroristic problems at the time and that subsequently onJuly 2, 1978, HUDGINS and a realtor from Atlanta, Georgia,
TOM JORDAN, came to Plains, Georgia, with the Ambassadorfrom Libya, GABRIEL SHALOUF; and they all met with BILLY yat BILLY's service station in Plains. He advised that there
was some talk of a trip to Libya by SHALOUF; but to his
knowledge, no actual invitation was made at that time.
» A few weeks later Senator HUDGINS called and askedif BILLY would still like to go to Libya and that all expenseswould be paid by the Libyan Government. COLEMAN stated ' gthat it was his understanding that this was to be a goodwilltrip in order-for the Libyan Government?to?show the United "IStates what they had to offer in the way of cultural affairs,agriculture, and industry. He stated that he is quite surethat they knew that BILLY got a lot of press and that , -the United States did not know anything about Libya; butthen when BILLY got back to the United States, the country
would definitely hear about Libya through him. He addedhe felt the Libyans just wanted us to know about the country.
COLEMAN stated to his knowledge, the trip hadbeen arranged through the Libyan Government through SenatorHUDGINS and TOM JORDAN of Atlanta, Georgia.
He advised that in the latter part of September,1978, he and BILLY met Senator HUDGINS, along with Georgia

State Senator HENRY RUSSELL of Boston, Georgia, in Columbus,
Georgia, at.which time they travelled to Atlanta and met
with SHALOUF, JORDAN, HUDGINS, MARIO LEANZA, and a LEONARD
LONG. He stated that to his knowledge, reservations and
tickets.had all been arranged by SHALOUF; and they left
Hartsfield International Airport for Rome,_Italy, stopping
in New York to pick up LONG's son, J. C. LONG.
Upon arriving in Rome, they were met by another
Libyan representative; and accomodations had been made
for their stay overnight in Rome. He advised that neither
he nor BILLY made much of a tour of Roe, staying in the
hotel due to the strong talk of terrorism and attacks upon
prominent individuals during that particular time in Italy.
COLEMAN added that during the trip there had been
no business talks except possibly for LEONARD LONG, who _
apparently had some type of a concrete deal in which he
. iwas trying to interest SHALOUF. , 4_ih,H= 4 '
The following day, the group left for Tripoli
where they were met by the Foreign Minister SHAHATI and
another Libyan official by the name of JALOUP phonetic!,
each of these men being second and third in command. They
also, subsequently, met with an official of the United States
Embassy in Tripoli, a BILL EGLETON. They never did meet
with President QADAFFI during their six-day stay in Tripoli.
COLEMAN stated that during this stay there were
numerous official banquets, both by the Libyan Government
and the United States Government in Tripoli; and the Libyan
authorities gave them a tour of the agriculture, business,
dairy, and other projects of that nature being conducted
by the Libyan Government.
COLEMAN stated that he and BILLY remained together
throughout the entire visit and that the group as a.whole I,_
remained together, although pairing off such as HUDGINS ~
and RUSSELL and LEANZA with the LONGs and JORDAN. ._
,To his knowledge, there was never any financial 4*
or business discussions made between BILLY and the Libyan8. p 337.:

the possible reasons for the trip and could only come upwith the fact that it was, indeed, a goodwill or friendship
gesture from Libya toward the United States Government.~
COLEMAN stated that during the visit, on various
occasions BILLY would make an offhand invitation to the
Libyan officials as to a possible visit to the United States
by them; and on the last night there, he extended a more
or less formal invitation to the group at a banquet. At
one point during the visit, prior to their leaving Tripoli,SHAHATI had made mention that he comes to the United States
each year for a medical checkup, at which time BILLY invited
him to call or come see him in Plains, Georgia. SHAHATItook him up on this and informed BILLY that he would be coming
to the United States in a few months and asked BILLY to '
send him a letter inviting him. _ t .
COLEMAN stated that BILLY did send a letter toSHAHATI dated November 2, 1978, a copy of which he made. 3available as follows: L '»~ -' ' ' I

COLEMAN stated that following this in the middle
part of November, 1978, three individuals from Libya arrived
in Atlanta, Georgia, whom he and BILLY met with. He stated
that.during this time he and BILLY were given a sample of »
a charter or corporation paper which was to be a nonprofit
type of organization representing a friendship exchange
between Libya and the United States. COLEAN stated that
he took the three Libyans with him to see Attorney DAVID
GAMBRELL, who looked at the matter, and he advised that
he saw no problem with signing or drawing up such a paper
which was subsequently done and signed by many during the
de1egation's visit to Atlanta in January, 1979. COLEMAN
added that he did not sign this particular paper. He further
added that he understands that this was to have been the
Libyan-Arab-Georgia Friendship Society and that it was a
nonprofit.organization with shares of some nature; buthe does not know how it was to be handled. He stated that
to his knowledge nothing was ever done with the corporation.
.. COLEMAN stated that he is quite sure that BILLY '
is not doing any business with the Libyans and to his knowledgethere were no financial arrangements proposed between the
Libyans and any members of the Georgia group, ~

Mr. Randy Culman
Plains, Georgia
Dear Mr. Culman:
This letter is to confirm, as Mr. Bishop,
Director of the Office of North African Affairs,
» stated in his phone conversation with you on
December 6, that the United States Government
is has no objections to Mr. Ahmed Shahati's visit
Q. to this country.
We have learned that during his trip to
the United States, Mr. Shahati plans to stop in
several states, meeting with local_government
officials and businessmen. Although he will be
discussing business transactions and perhaps
educational and cultural exchanges, the State
Department believes his_motives_are basically_political. ~ if 'f»'* i"'*i"'-7' '_ 1
Mr. Shahati is the President of the Liaison
Committee of the Libyan Peoples Congress. He
thus is in charge of his Government's efforts to
establish contacts in the United States outside
- Washington. The Libyans hope to use such con-
tacts to influence U.S. policy toward their -
country and the Arab World.
If this Office can-be of further assistance
, to you in preparing for Mr. Shahatis call on
Mr. Carter, please let us know.
Sincerely, _
_ I I

WHAT ABOUT BILLY CARTER? IS HE A
' _ , , LIBYAN AGENT?
'::* 'The widows of two U.S. citizens who were executed by a ,*»#5*§:firing squad in Tripoli on March 7, 1979, recently turned to Billy Carter, brother of the President of theUnited States of America, to enlist his good offices "with Colonel Kaddafi so as to be furnished a full Bexplanation as to the reasons for the double executionand also to receive the bodies of the two executed men.
Why did the two widows turn to Billy Carter? Why were ~the two U.S. citizens shot to death? Were they secretagents? Why did the U.S. diplomatic representatives in.Tripoli fail to take official action to protect the two'alleged "antitank weapons technicians,1_who_were so , ,3.. mysteriously put to death? ' '- 7' " ' ' g "
Last September, Billy Carter traveled to Libya, where he had previously entered fruitful personal relations with- ,_;_4the top leaders of that country. The agreements concerned Ythe establishment of a "corporate association" between =-Abusinessmen of the Billy Carter group and members of the .a~Tripoli Government. The trip to Tripoli was organized _in the first place by Mario Lianza, a large real estate A ,agent from Atlanta the capital city of the state ofGeorgia, of which Jimmy Carter was Governor before becomingPresident of the United States of America!. According to "Mario Lianza, the main purpose of the "corporation," ofwhich Billy Carter is the majority stockholder, was to 'secure investments of Libyan capital in Georgia and
other southern States. Surprised by the criticisms'1

sional"man who pointed out that Libya exports 4 billion FYe;W
dollars worth of oil yearly to the United States of America
and that a good portion of the money from these exports could j
be re-invested in the United states~o£ America. By the .; ..»»
end of April, 1978, Hr. Lianza received a written invita-
tion to hand to Billy Carter along with a letter in which
it was stated that if the President's brother were to take '
a-trip to Libya all expenses would be paid by Colonel A ~
Kadda£i's Government. - A -_
As a result_o£ this letter, Hr. Lianza together with .
another real estate agent from Atlanta, a Mr. Tom Jordan,
and the Senator from Georgia, Floyd Hudgins, arranged
a direct meeting between Libya's-Ambassador to Italy
and the Presidentfs brother. The points brought up '
during this meeting must have been extremely convincing, -
so much so that Billy Carter accepted the invitation. '
Of course, it was an altogether irregular, or rather,
anomalous procedure, because invitations of this nature
are extendedand accepted through diplomatic channels
between the Department of state and the Embassy of Libya Qinsthe u~.s.a. *4 ~ e " ' *
The American delegation headed by Billy Carter had a~ 4
coposition which was, to say the least, strange; there
was no 0.8. diplomatic representative in the company of
the 0.8. President's brother. By contrast, there were. '
two big real estate agents, Liansa and Jordan, two
business friends of Lianza, two Senators from Georgia:
Hudgins and Henry Russel, and one of Billy Carter's A
drinking friends: Randy Coleman.
Another not less surprising circumstance was the tact '
that Billy Carter and his retinue nine people in all!
did not travel directly Iron Washington to Tripoli, ,,__
but flew in via Rome, Italy.' Colonel Kaddati paid
not only for the trip, but also for the Rome stopover Pahéi

- and not the U.S. Embassy! made available to Billy Carter_
several army motorcycles. Lianza described it as a
"princely hospitality,"pointing out that each person -
in the party must have cost the Libyan Government at 4W_
least one million lire?! a day, with the Libyan *" "
Government picking up the tab without batting an eyelash,
While in Tripoli, a_decision was made calling for the x' "
establishment of a financial company in Georgia whose i
purpose is to channel Libyan investments. The capital f
stock was so divided: 40 percent went to Billy Carter, .
12 1/2 percent each to Senator Hudgins, Carter's friend
Coleman, real estate agents Lianza and Jordan and l0
percent to a gentleman whose name was not mentioned,
probably attorney David Gambrell, also from Atlanta,
who in 1970 was Jimmy Carter's treasurer while he was
campaigning to become Governor of Georgia._ Later, this
gentleman was chosen by the President as the Democratic ";
candidate for the United States Senate. Attorney Gambrell
was also the man who made the arrangements for a return
visit by a Libyan delegation, which at Libyan expense,
and not at the expense of the U.S. Treasury! spent time
in the United States of America in January 1979. '
Human rights are obviously not greatly respected in
Libya, where special tribunals have sentenced to death ,~
tens of officers about 40 by the end of last year and _
already 20 or so this year! who had expressed criticisms
against Kadda£i's Islamic fanaticism and had badmouthed
an expedition of 3,000 Libyan paratroopers sent to .
Kampala aboard a number of C-130 Hercules's and a ~
Boeing 727 to try a lastditch defense of the bloody '
regime of Idi Amin. Despite the use of TU-22 bombers -
purchased from the Soviets and many ultramodern artillery
pieces, mortars and automatic weapons, the Libyans lost
more than a thousand men in a few days and the survivors:
were able to return to Libya and avoid becoming prisoners
of war thanks to a ransom of 20 million dollars paid in A
advance by Kaddafi to Julius Nyerere. _ "

It_is obvious, therefore, that the widows of Heinrich
two Americans that were shot to death in Libya on
March 17, 1979! hardly turned to the right man, even » ~
though President Jimmy Carter poses as the ultimate-f "defender of human rights. The truth of the matter is _
too many £inancia1.interests and too many commitments -
hitch Billy Carter to Kaddafi's cart. Billy Carter: " .'
personal and business diplomacy is in obvious contrast "'with the diplomacy of the Department of State. - ' Q
. - .-_' >_ '; -.' 4'.
There are certain aspects in the case 0! the two executed *
men, Wicke and Rashid, which are extremely auspicious. In
the first place, the two men were found in possession of an
extremely modern weapon of war: a so-called 'Armbrust,'which is a piece of equipment issued to NATO special ,;_
troops as an anti-tank and terrorist weapon. This piece,~E
of equipment is capable of blowing up a heavy tank or~awhole apartment from a distance of several hundred meters._It is a portable weapon. The particular weapon which was
seized from the two men was provided with a special infra-
red scope, made in Japan, making it possible to aim the -
Armbrust inabsolute darkness.
Even the names of the two executed men constitute a _
mystery, particularly in the case of Rashid. He was tall.
blond, and long-legged and sported a perfect midwestern _
accent. By contrast, Wicke spoke American a la Kissinger,giving away his German origin and a good education in ; I
American colleges in Washington sic!. 1'4 »-w
Rashid used to claim that he was an American who had been
converted to Islam and that is how he explained his Muslim
name. The original Rashid was one of Muhammad's generals,
but the Rashid who was shot in Tripoli may have been a I.
man sent by the CIA to assassinate Kaddafi.
If that is the case, the collective interest on the partof Kaddafi, Billy Carter and the State Department to p
hush the case is apparent. There is no question that the *

Re: Delta File H-65795
Dear Mr. 5hallou!:_
After an extensive search, I an very aorry to report that we are unable
to locate your luggage. Your cooperation during this difficult time is
appreciated and we certainly want to settle your claim on an equitable
basis.
The amount of reimbursement is governed by tariff regulations based on
International Ireaty. These tariffs apply when any portion of a pas- -aenger's ticket involves international travel.l In such a case, liabilityis limited to the actual value of the property not to £1CQ8d_$$43;0G"pQt
bag. Accordinglyp I am enclosing our check for $640.00.- '"
5. _"¢ ' _-I» .Ha realize this does not cover the stated value of_your loss, pat it-may
be that you have insurance coverage that will provide.£or additional
payment. If so, we will be gladto cooperate with your insurance agent
in his investigation. The search for your luggage will continue and if
it is located, we will lot you know pronptly.. _ _ . .
Thank you again for your patience and cooperation. Please give us an l
opportunity to show we can do better-the next time you travel.
Sincerely,
¢57C.
