Telephone Rm. | i i Director's Sec’y ue Undated | - (postmarked 2/18/80) Dear Director Webster- i You are receiving a good deal of criticism from iCongress and the News Media about your investigation of ‘white collar crime. That should not be at all surprising ‘considering that the investigation may touch influential “people. Have you heard from the average American who ‘believes that anyone running for public office has a moral ‘obligation? Those who cry "entrapment" are denying what I ‘consider a basic attribute of a public official. Public loffice will always bring opportunities for bribes and ‘special favors. Can we not longer expect that one of the iqualifications for office should be the ability to resist ‘such temptation? If we've gone beyond that assumption, ‘then I believe there is no hope for representative ‘government. I say, keep up your work -- it has helped to restore \\my faith in at least a part of the government. .
