WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510

AUG 10, 1900

DEAR SIR: IN REFERENCE TO THE HEARINGS YOU AND YOUR STAFF will be KOLDING AUGUST 21, 1980 ON: BATE Abuses + illegalities I wish to be

HEARD.

1. I SERVED WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD FOR FOUR
YEARS & WAS Honorably DiChARGED. I HAVE WORKED
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FOR Close To
TWENTY YEARS, BEING A CORRECTION OFFICER AAND
ALSO IN MY TRADE AS A Gunsmith. MyY RECORD
UP UNTIL THE BATF WAS spotless & my
HONESTY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT DEALINGS UNQUESTIONED
My CRIME WAS I WAS INTICED TO ACT AS A GO between
For Two POLICE OFFICERS, ONE ACTIVE AND THE OTHER
HAD LEFT THE FORCE. NOT KNOWING THIS AT THE TIME
I AGREED TO ACT AS A GO betwEEN IN THE SOIL OF
A GUN CollectioN. MR. JOSEPH KENNY. - HeTIVE P.D.
NEEDED. MONEY TO PAY FOR THE hospital Bills His
WIFE WAS RUNNING UP. SHE WAS AT THE TIME DYING
OF CANCER. FEELING SORRY I AGREED To sall
His GUNS To A VINCEN Bleasdale, Ex-Polres officen
NOT KNOWING HE WAS WORKING AS AN INFORMER FOR
THE BATE. I Also hAD KNOWN VINCE FOR ABOUT
SHEEN YEARS AND TRUSTED HIM. Fjon my SPARE TIME
WAS EXPERMENTING ON A NEW TYPE SILONGER AND
VINCE HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THIS, All THIS WAS USED
TO BAIT ME TO DELIVER MR. Kelly's GUN'S SO I
POULD BE ARRESTED & CHARGED. I HAD TO HAVE
A Publie dEFENDER, who Plea BARGINED AND I
WAS PLADER ON FIVE YEAR PROBATION.

FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS I HAVE BEEN WRITING
LETTERS TO SENATORS, EQUGRESSMAN AND EVEN

THE PRESIDENT

OF THE UNITED STATES.

I HAVE SPOKEN ON THE PHONE TO A MR. Standish
OF THE PARDON ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND Applied
FOR A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON. (POPIES ARE EN-
CLOSED)
His Honorable FRANK THOMPSON SR.
HAS BEEN OF GREAT Help To me.
I'VE BEEN INVESTIGATED by. THE F.B.I. THE
IRS, AND THE PROBATION OFFICE.
God only
Knows who ELSE HAS CHECKED MY LIFE'S HISTORY.
I KNOW THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY ALSO WAS LOOK-
IN TO MY PAST. I HAVE ROME OUT WITH
A OleAN SLATE All THE WAY. IF IT WASN'T

ING

FOR MR. FRANK THOMPSON I WOULD HAVE NEVER
KNOWN THE REPORTS THE BATF SENT IN TO WASHING-
TON, D.C. AND PLACED IN THEIR Files.

IN SEEKING A PARDON which I NEED TO RE-
STORE MY LICENSE TO REPAIR GUNS THE REPORTS
CONTAINED by THE BATF ARE ERRONEOUS AND ARE
A DEFAMATION OF my CHARACTER. I WAS GIVEN A
SUSPENDED PRODATION ON JAN 1980 IN PHILADELPHIA
FEDERAL COURT AFTER
COURT AFTER SERVING ONLY HALF MY TIME.
All THIS CAN BE CHECK OUT AS IT IS All RECORDED
IN MY RECORDS. BEING ON A Disadid. Ty I FEEL
THIS HAS PLAYED A HARD Ship ON MY FAMILY AND
COST ME MANY DollARS IN DORTOR Bills AND RX'S
FOR NERVES & DEPRESSION. I WAS MADE PROMISES
IF I PLEADED GUILTY which weRE NOT KEPT. ONE
WAS NO WORD would LEAK OUT TO THE PRESS OR
RADIO STATIONS, THAT WAS A JOKE! MY NAME HAS
BEEN SLANDERED IN THE NEWSPAPERS AND ON LOCAL
RADIO STATIONS. I WAS KIDDED About BEING AN-
OTHER AL- CAPONE. MY ONLY HOPE RESTS IN
my PARDON, which I HAVE BEEN WAITING SIX
MONTHS FOR. UNTIL THIS TIME I Really NEVER
GAVE much THOUGHT TO THE BATE OR ANY OTHER
