oat pon SU RPRORTAG Ale Nh ll LET TLL NES tik mS NTR Nw November 24, 1980 ? Congressman Bob Traxler : 2448 Rayburn House Office Bldg, Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Traxler: I was listening to a broadcast this morning relative to the ABSCAM situation, the convictions that resulted therefrom and the congressional hearings going on relative to some of these people, The thought occurred to me while listening: Who decided which congressmen would be offered bribes and why did this person decide to pick the congressmen he picked? | | | It seems to me that this question might be even more important than whether someone was or was not involved in ABSCAM, Is i this an effort by someone in the FBI, or someone orchestrating i the FBI to force the Congress to knuckle under to the "clout" of the FBI? I would really be interested in your reaction to these questions and I would be even more interested in seeing a ~ resolution introduced calling for an investigation into the questions of "who" and "why" these particular congressmen were offered bribes.
