; t { : spa ina na sieig an rte AT An pm manta ent e March 17, 1981 Regarding the editor's editorial on the FBI which appeared in February 1981 igeue, I, ag an American citizen, take exception to the «ditor'a remarks concerning ABSCAM.. What’s your problem, Mr. Editor? Are you trying to make a case of innocence for a congreseman who got hie hand caught in the cookie jar? A cravk is a exook regardiegs of who he is and I'm grateful for the FBI's handling of the ABSCAM which every citizen T talked to fa also in agreement with the end results.

Mr, Webster, Director of the FBI, gets my vote ef confidence atid as far as I'm concerned any elected official who accepts money under any pre- tense other than his paycheck and legitimate expenses ja guilty of the worst kind of crime. Betrayal of the public trust, Mr. Editar, ie what most citizens are upset about. Ge out on the street and ask the average citizen what he objects to and you will discover that he or she fig totally against untrustworthy political people of all levels, and at least. Mr. Webster is trying to do something about the problem that we all suspected but no one but Mr. Webster had the guts to do something about. That's more than can be said for Fat Jack. creer 4th Degree le? t a
