Webster, Director ; Federal Bureau of Investigation CUPSIDS SCUREE Washington, D.C. 20535 Dear Mr. Webster: I am writing to you in response to the many criticisms of the investigation you conducted en- titled Abscam. I want to congratulate you on the expertise and professioralism used in your operation. Taose who criticize you on your decision of using certain individuals in the investigation are simply - in need of an escape. This is also true for those | who feel your procedure was unethical. I congratu- late you, for any honest congressman will not accept a bribe or commit any other unlawful act regardless of tne amount offered or the way in which presented. I respect the courage you put forth in pursuing your investigation and compliment your enforcement of law and justice. Although my father is an agent, this does not have any bearing on my opinion that the Bureau should have the power necessary to ensure honesty and mee in Congress.
