1G. ik you think IL was appropriate for the FRY to proses for an
eit
arrest in the case before loos] prosecutors £
Ky June 3, 1981, dt was spparent that Wayne hh. Williams
had determined hr was under surveillance and, thorafore, aearch
warrants obtained by the FRI from state court judges were

crimes, which in the past have besn Jett to state and laczal
authorities? i
