Z would like to begin this statenent by informing the public that IT wrote whet I am ab

Yon, » 1 would like to comoment on your efforts to supposedly secure yy 3 fety.. ‘The
give-away was a sham, You attempted to deceive the veople, the SLA and me with statene
about your concern for myself and the people. You were playing games —~ stalling for t-
tine which the FBI was using in their attempts to assassinate me and the SLA elements v!
guarded me, You continued to report that you did evervthing 4n your power to pave the:
for negotiations for my release == I hate to believe that you coulds have heen so unis:
tive as to not even have considered petting Little and Remiro released on ‘bail, ‘While -
Was ropeatedly stated that my conditions would at a] tines corrssvond with those of th:
captured soldiers, when your own lawyer went to inspect the hole’ at San Quentin, he o
the deplorable conditions there == another move whichp potentially jeopardized my safet:
My mother's acceptance of ths epnointment to a second tern as a U,C. rezent, as you wal:
knew, would have caused my immediate execution had the SLA been less than “together” abx
their political goals. Your actions have taught me a great lesson, and in a strance k1:
of way, I’m grateful to you. —
‘Steven, I know t hat you are beginning to realize that there is no such thing ae neutra
in time of war, Thore can be no comprond se as your exosréences with the FSI rust have :
you, You have been harrassed by the RuI because of your supposed connections with so-:
radicals, and some peovle have even cone so far as to sugcest that IT arranged my owm arm
We both know what really cane down that )onday nicht == but you don’t tmow what's haore:
eince then. TI have changed <= prown. I've become conscious and cang never fo back to t
life we led before, What I’m sayine may seam cold to you and to my old friends, but lo
doesn’t mean the same thing to me anymore. iy love has expanded as a result of my exp)
to embrace all veople, It’s srown into an unselfish love for my comrades here, in erist
and on the streats, A love that comes from the knowledre that °’no one 1s free until we
_ ate all froe,’” ‘While I wish that you codld be a conrade, I don’t axnect it -— all I
expect is that you try to understand the changes I’ve gone through.
I have been given the choice of 1) being released$ in a safe erea, or 2) foining the fe
of the Symbionese Liberation Arny and fishting for my freedom and the freedons of all
Oppressed people, I havea chosen to stay and ficht. One thing which I learned is that t
Corporates ruling class will do anything in their power FH in order to maintain their por
ef control over the masses, even if this means the sacrifice of one of their own, It st
be obvious that people who don’t even care sbout their ow children couldn't possibly ec:
about anyone else’s children. The things which are precious to these people are their r
and power <= and they will never willinely surrender either. Peonle should not have to
Inmniliate thenselves by standing in lines in order to be fed, nor should they have to 14
in fear for their lives and the lives of their children as Tyrone Guyton’s mother will
sadly attest te.
Dad, you§ said that you ware concerned with my life, and you also said that you were cor.
with tb life and interests of all opvressed pecoles in this country, but you are a 1}
in both afeas and as a menber of the ruling class, I know for sure that yours end Mom's
internct gd era nvrov thy 4eterests of the reoels, M4, you ssid was would esa abect ott
tere Job ormortrnitios for the reonla, Dut thy haven't you irnod the raorle whit is pot
to happen to then =~ that actually the few jobs they still have will be taken away.
