recall andlwas sent to me solely by virtue of my position in the
office at that time either as Assistant Director or Deputy
Assistant Director. Subsequently he was in the office for
reasons I do not recall and I asked him to endorse it for me.
That was the first time I met him.
I had virtually no contact with him until a year later,
at the time of the killing of a DEA Agent in New York. My contact
with him on that occasion was professional and I therefore agreed
to talk with him after that time. I have done so by telephone
two or three times when he has called me. Additionally I have
seen him a few times in person at various law enforcement
functions. My dealings with him have always been of a
professional nature as opposed to social one.
I am aware of information printed in the New York Daily
News on 1/31/92 regarding SALVATORE GRAVANO being with JOHN GOTTI
in a car parked at the scene at the time of the homicide of PAUL
CASTELLANO and THOMAS BILOTTI. I am also aware of information

I was not aware of the information printed in the New

FRANCESCO OLIVERI prior to the article being printed and I have
never seen the article prior to today.
I have previously read the New York DAILY NEWS article
dated January 31, 1992, which contained information concerning
SALVATORE GRAVANO being with JOHN GOTTI in a car parked at the
scene at the time of the homicides of PAUL CASTELLANO and THOMAS
BILOTTI. Although I cannot be certain, I believe I may of been
aware of this information prior to the article being printed, but
do not recall specificallyiwho may have told me about it.
In any event, I did not provide this information to
anyone not entitled to receive it nor am I aware of anyone else
who did.
