On this date I personally contacted United States Attorney JAmes L. Tpeece,'District of Colorado, discussed Senator's HAskelL's letter with him, and he concurred with- my comments to Senator HAsKELL. In connection with furnishing me this letter,+- Senator HAskelL, in advance, had released a statement to the. press indicating that he was asking the FsI to enter the investigation. Several inquiries have been received and I have indicated to the news media that the Senator's letter was being referred to FBI Headouarters in Washington and that his I, personally, knew of no legislation specifically covering the mutilation of livestock which would enable the FBI to enter such an investigation. The above is being furnished to the Bureau for information and for an official reply to Senator HAskelL's request. Senator HAskELL indicated that he is returning to Washington, D.c. in connection with the reconvening of the Senate session.
