Yctober 29, 1980 Re bs CAD William H. Webster, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation. Dear Mr. Webster: I must again commend your bureau in it's pursuit of scoundrels holding public office. The evidenge you developed in the Kentucky case aired tonight by 60 MINUTES must make many Americans rejoice. The protestations of malefactors that they were baited, or "entrapped", makes a godd scenario for a Lucy Show. There is an uneasy feeling throughout the land that most politicians are crooked, and that the electorate is largely helpless to do anything about it. This distresses me, personally, because I spent eight years of my life, during critical personal years, “defending democracy", In my eight tp) years in the Marine Corps I was aware the navy yard workmen Hi, and the aircraft workers were making ten times the money my fellow fighters and myself were. And so were my compadres! This is surely not the first letter of commendation * you have received for the "Abscam" type of investigation of corruption in government. I hope you read and understand my message. That message is, there are a lot more like me who applaud your efforts and motives, and KEEP it up L- cc; Ben Bradlee Mike Wallace, CBS TV File —— BO N3Y 12 1929 ovmemee naman reser / eile 3 -/986/-A6I
