HAAS On February 22, 1977 Hanrahan was recalled as a wit- ness after a four-day interval during which Treviranus had testified regarding the federal grand jury in- vestigation. Treviranus identified a memo he had written which outlined the arrangement between Hanrahan and Assistant Attorney General Leonard whereby the raiders would not be indicted by the grand jury and Hanrahan would terminate the prosecution in the state court against the survivors of the raid. The court had deferred a request to introduce the document while Johnson and Treviranus were under examination.

Mr. Hanrahan: No, sir.

Q: But prior to that you had entered an agreement with the Federal prosecutors to drop the charges, had you not?
