Please allow the FBI the operational

latitude
they
need to end the
standoff
in.Haco.
Our law enforcement
agencies can and should end
this immediately.
The fact that they haven't,logically
leads one
to assume that they
have
been constrained
by Washington.

This

Now,
it
seems
is
a
tragedy.

The continuing
excuse for the status
quo is the potential
danger
to the children.
The Davidean cult,
not the FBI or the ATP, has put
the children
at risk.
If
this tactic
is allowed,
every crazy
in
the
country will
shield
themselves
with innocent
children.
To knowingly place achild
in harms way is not only despicable,
but should be criminal.
The Davidean cult
has done this.

believe
I
that the initiative taken to force the occupantsof the Koresh compoundto exit
the buildingswas overdue,as
opposed to being
ill-considered
as expounded
by the national newsmedia.
Everyone inthe press
seems

to forget, that thereason lawenforcement

personnel were
there
in

of illegal

rearms. Four
oicers werekilled l:rying
to forcean earlyentry ofthe

I
theFBI patiencein tryingto dealwith Koreshfor the51
days greaterthan I could appreciate. I did not understandwhy tear gas wasn&#39;t
used
sooner.
The pressmadeabig deal aboutthe re and its origins. They
missed thepoint. The occupants couldhave comeout at
any time beforethe
4/19 tear gas, diningthe tear gassing, oraer
the
re started. Several .
.

occupants did
just that!Those thatdid notleave didso forone oftwo
reasons, eitherthey electednot to leave, orthey wereprevented byKoresh.
Interestingly somepeople did leave. Onewonders whetherthey
left
independently ofthe desiresof Koresh, or with his blessing,to be his
apologists tothe world he left behind.

Sessions

Director, FBI

J._ Edgar Hoover Bldg.

Washington, D.C. 20535

Dear Mr. Sessions:

I am writing this letter to express my

support for the deciaionsmade
by the FBI, and the U.S. Justice Department on April
19,1993,
During the Cuban
Prison
portunity to

Riots in

witness first

in Waco, IX.

Talladega, AL in 1991, I had the op-

hand the professionalism and

expertise of

the

FBI Hostage Release Team. It is

my sincere opinion that they weigh
the
consequences of any decisions, and act in such amanner which is in the best
interest of

the American

public. I

concern and considerations I

cised in

have no doubt whatsoever

that the

same

observed by the I-IRTin Talladega were also exer-

Waco.

It is

truly a

shame that the news media chooses to report

only what

believe to be news worthy, and those incidents which adversly slant the
spective of the American people against our law Ehforcement.
Being aChristian
chose to end
their

believer, I

lives, and

am sincerely saddened that

so

the lives
of

their children

they

per-

many
people

by blindly

follow-

- ing
amisguided religious fanatic
like David
Koresh.
I pray that God will
have mercy
on
their souls,
but my most diligent prayers are for the Law Enforcement agents,
that their
decisions
sible conclusion

and the officials in

were made in
good
to a"no-win"

Please express

my sincere

charge, that
they have
peace
of mind
faith with
adesire for
the best pos-

situation.

gratitude to

all the

agents involved,

. the families of the sllain and injured agents

for
their outstanding
1.-sand sacrifice to the American people. God Bless you all!

Dear Bill:

Our prayers are with the agents of ATF and FBI who did their best to save those children. I know
they
feel they failed. Please let them know that the matter was taken out of their hands by the arrogance and
cowardice of
David
Koresh. Please, thank them for having been our protectors, even of those children
whom they could not save. During the 51 days that these Federal agents were in our city and during the
numerous exposures which all of us had to them, there
has
been no report on any person to indicate that
person was adiscredit to themselves or
to their govemment. They were always excellent citizens and good
neighbors.

Tl&#39;lOl.|ghtragedy
this leaves us perplexed and angry at people who do what Koresh did, it also leaves us
grateful for the local, county, state and national network of law enforcement officers who put their lives
between us and danger . . . and they never know when they will be called upon to do so. The four ATF

agents did not die in vain; they have shown our nation, again,that we
are

a society that will be ruled by

law. It will be lavv that shows wise restraint, but it will be law that demands an
unrelenting
response of
obedience to that which we as apeople have said is just and right. Therefore, those agents
who
have died
and their grieving families, those agents who were shot and who are now recuperating and those agents
who bear invisible internal scars from
this
ordeal should have our prayers of gratitude, not our criticism nor

our censure.

e ..-

.- 15

Since David Koresh and the Branch Davidians did what they did on the basis, as
they
said of a Biblical
mandate. let us look for amessage from the Bible to
draw
lrom this event. I think it is this: Jeremiah
10:23 I know, OLord, that aman&#39;s
life is not his own;
it
is not for -man to
direct
his steps. And it is this:
Proverbs
14:12

There is

a way that seems

right to

aman.

but in the end it leads to death.

And it

is this:

John 10:10-11 The thief comes only to steal and ltill and destroy: l have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. lt is
only by trusting the Jesus of Biblical history that our lives as individuals and as asociety will find peace,
justice and ho

unfounded criticism

of

the FBI.

In alengthy

that a window

indefinite hesitation
for

asuccessful

this type
it
is
difficult
for most
to
opportunity is
about to
close forever
will drastically
reduce the
odds

outcome.

Such adecision
for
federal
law
enforcement is
particularly
difficult when
the odds
of asuccessful
outcome are
low to
begin
with.
It
is less
controversial
to simply
maintain the
status
quo, and
let the
odds
for
asuccessful
conclusion quietly
dwindle
to zero.

to act

I, for
one, do
not want
federal
in the
future because
those

law enforcement
to
hesitate
with
20-20
hindsight are
quick

to criticize.

Please pass
enforcement believe
while there

This is
in
response
to your
April
21st
letter to
Special Agent
inCharge
Jeffrey J.
Jamar regarding
our
response
to the
tragic fire
which recently
consumed the
Branch Davidian
compound. Your
support of
our decision
not to
endanger the
lives
of public
safety officials
is
greatly
appreciated. while
we were
saddened that
so many lives were
lost in
Waco,
we continue
to
believe that
the risks
involved in
sending firefighters
into the
conflagration were

just too

great.

As the FBI&#39;s actions undergo review

and analysis,
you are willing to
take time
out of
your busy
convey words
of support.
Thank you for your

helpful that
schedule to
