1 am writing to strongly condemn your recent actions in overturning
the ABSCAN conviction of former Representative Richard Kelly. Your
statement that"law enfofcenent exceeds its bounds when it manmfactures
crime and creates criminals” is absurd, Just what do you think under-
cover police work is? Your statement and ruling would preclude law
enforcement officers from using decoys in the solutions of crimes
such as rape and mass murder.
Representative Kelly has admitted taking the money, and his claim
that this was part of his own investigation js just plain bulli He
should have knowa that if he was conducting and investigation, he should
do it with the advice and consent of law enforcement officers.
Your ruling 1s not only outrageous, it is dangerous,
By way of a copy of this letter, I am applauding pr Director William [i uw
. Webster's commitment to fue ABSCAM type investigations in the future,
Very truly yours, Ve
