Recently I became : very upset at the ploy the F.B.I. used in checking the morals ' of our Congressman and Senators. Surely you could have used any other ethnic origin to accomplish your goal. It is obvious that a portion of the Arab world is making money on their mineral ~ wealth, but it does not mean that they are criminals. Personally I as an American do criticize your methods. We Arabs are a race of people proud of our background just as any other race of people. More than a decade ago I served in the Armed Forces of the U.S.A. in Vietnam_as_an rican das an Arab. Presently I am employed by G.M.C. as a machine operator and repairman. My personal feelings may not agree with all the governments policys especially those pertaining to the Arab cause. This letter was not written to take up much of your time or sound threatening in any way. The investigation you performed was duty bound, but the ethnic indentity you used was mine. This upset me very much. This government I believe to be great, but to use such tactics is unheard of. Why did you bother to use any ones ethnic identity? Thank you for your time. A Concerned Arab American Citizen. Yours Respectfully, ey on ep me FP OE POTS A or eee eee
