The tapes contain conversations, some telephonic, between SHEARS, ATFD agents, and other individuals, On many of the tapes, no dates are mentioned, nor is SHEARS or others identified by name or otherwise. As a result, it ls extremely difficult to properly understand the purposes of some of the conversations.

He will have copies of ten additional tapes, numbered thirteen through sixteen and twentyfive through forty made by February 23 or February 24, 1972, and will make these tapes available to the FBI at Santa Rosa, California.
