If it is the intention of the executor and the resid- uary legatees to abandon the property, please provide us with appropriate evidence of the intent of the executar and the residuary beneficiaries to do so, In that event, the Property would be disposed of by the Government under pro- cedures normally followed for disposal of abandoned property. The property has occupied needed storage space for more than four years, and the FBI custodians wish to dispose of it as soon as possible. Please let us hear from you as to . what disposition of the matter the executor is prepared to take. Very truly yours, BARBARA ALLEN BABCOCK Assistant Attorney General Civil Division By: Stuart E.
