Byrd Federal Building Room 1006 500 Quarrier Street Charleston, wv 25301 0 FoEUs s 9f3 RE: STEVE SUSICK 9A-376Q Dear Senator Byrd: 9A-376q-b In December, 1986, our office was advised of your concern about two (2) phone calls, one of which was of a threatening nature, which were made to your Washington, D.c. Office on December 10, 1986. In the first phone conversation, the caller identified himself as Steve Susick and gave your representative a Fairmont, West Virginia phone number. Apparently some threatening remarks were made during the. course of that phone conversation.. A second call was made shortly thereafter by the same individual in which the previous threatening statement was apparently disavowed. In view of your concern, the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted an investigation to deter-- mine whether or not these phone calls were made by the individual who identified himself as Steve Susick. Susick was interviewed by FBI Agents on three (3) occasions. On all three (3) occasions he denied making said telephone calls, but indicated that he may have been drinking at that time. The representative from your office who received the telephone calls indicated that the individual did sound intoxicated. A review of Susick's telephone records for that period of time do indicate that two (2) calls were made to your office on December 10, 1986, at 4:03 p.m. and at 4:06 p.m. In addition, there are several calls during that same time period to a number which is listed for the White House. I am not aware of any Secret Service investigations of these calls. Therefore, I would assume none of these calls were threatening in nature..
