* Frank Sinaira ec Js j expression® of regret should be examined in Light ot Co of the fact that they were being made to persons a who are: going to write a report upon which the ' Director of the Bureau of Prisons would prepare a,recommendation to Judge East with respect to meenmmnincnininyi xe _ * the* sentencing. As to Mr. Keenan, while he did not testify as to a “hoax" and I am informed that his attorneys did not make an opening statement claim~ ing a "hoax", it would seem to me that he should also be man enough to make extensive efforts to publicize the fact that the claim of "hoax" was completely without substance. - Perhaps the defendants in this case will be able to convince the authorities that,must now sit in judgment as to the length of their sentence that they want to make amends to the victims of the crime, but it is my hope that the persons upon whom the duty of making that judgment now rests will impose a stricter test... .[hgy have an opporbtynity, to make*amends by taking direct and vigorous action to dispel any suspicion that the kidnaping was a "hoax" and that my son participated in the arrange- ment of his own kidnaping for the purpose of gaining publicity. In my opinion, my son has either gotten over the effects of being kidnaped or will easily get over any adverse effects of the kidnaping since I think he is a strong person; however, un- iess something affirmative is done by the defendants, the cloud of suspicion which hangs over his head will continue to affect adversely his iife and his career, “ i, ep 2 a _ ee re ie ar ere EE nnn ements ees eT 14S:
