Webster Department of Justice yO Washington, DC 20530 R at t= oR he Resrzorre KE: HaSTr™ - “S Dear Mr. Webster: : I am a retired person (62 years old) who has lots of time to let public officials know how I feel, hence this letter. I wish to commend you, and the Bureau, for the suc- cessful conclusion to the Abscam situation. Unfortunately you have drawn a lot of criticism of your methods of the investigation of this case. Senator Alan Cranston was one of the first on his feet to condemn President Nixon because a “bug" had been planted in Democratic Headquarters. At that time there ere, probably, so many listening devices in Republi- can Headquarters you couldn't shift your gum from one side to the other without it being heard by Democrats! ow Senator Cranston is upset when we catch some real crooks from his side! It is a deplorable fact that we now seem to have a Narge segment of our journalistic, judicial and Con- gressional members who seem to worry more about the riminal's rights than the welfare of society as a hole? lease keep up the good work. Thank God for the FBI! Sincerel eto WEN “ath 2 PSL > Maman Lo F ii | S
