AC. = ft “ » Kansas April 21, 1982 Mr. William Webster _QUISIDE SOURCE Pay Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation _ | 20535 Vublie- Ke sponte re Heer of S Reference: The "Abscam" scandal Dear Sir: I read with incredulity in my local newspaper, your quoted statement that U.S. citizens want the FBI to continue with these types of operations! You must be receiving your feed- back from your own staff! That is not my opinion or the opinion of, I believe, the majority of us mid-westerners. As a matter of fact, I have yet to speak to anyone in my Sizeable circle of acquaintances, who supports the FBI's amoral, if not illegal, Abscam activities. I hasten to add, however, that this is not in defense of shady Congressmen! Rather, it is simply t to point out what should be a fairly obvious fact. That the proper and in- tended role of the Federal Bureau of Investigation should be exactly what its name implies - the investigation of federal crimes, not manufacturing crimes in order to entrap citizens! As I have indicated to my three Congressional representatives via a copy of this letter, if you actually do entertain the mistaken asumption that Abscam was a proper function of your organization; then, perhaps, we should change the FBI logo ——————prams to FBMCE (Federal Bureau of Manufactured Crimes pfig Entrapment )! oO These types of operations and the fuzay thinking of stpry ~~ gyily intelligent people who espouse them, absolutely horrify me! -, {For it is diametrically opposed to our * Amer Sean ideals off _~ me justice and fair play re OB 16 Cf Atinue , = we must not allow ened, me the implicati 4nherent for all of us in this travesty are frightening” \y?
