>>>
>>> Dear Sen. Lott:
>>>
>>> The attached report contains conclusive proof that the bombing of
>>> the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
>>> was not caused solely by the truck bomb.
>>>
>>> Evidence shows that the massive destruction was primarily the result
>>> of four demolition charges placed at critical structural points at the
>>> third floor level.
>>>
>>> Weapons Experience:
>>>
>>> I do not offer such an analytical conclusion lightly. I have spent 25
>>> years in research, design, development, test and management of
>>> weapons development. This included: hands-on work at the Ballistic
>>> Research Laboratories; Commander of the Air Force Armament
>>> Technology Laboratory, and ultimately management responsibility
>>> for almost every nonnuclear weapon device in the Air Force (at the
>>> Air Force System command, Air Staff and the Office of the Secretary
>>> of Defense (OSD) levels). I was also the first chairman of the OSD
>>> joint service Air Munitions Requirements and Development Committee.
>>> (A more detailed resume appears at Tab 1.)
>>>
>>> Observations in Oklahoma City:
>>>
>>> To verify earlier analysis, I visited Oklahoma City during the last
week
>>> of June. There I had the opportunity to view hundreds of photographs
>>> taken throughout the cleanup operation as the layers of debris were
>>> cleared away. The photos present irrefutable evidence that at least
>>> four demolition charges were set off at four critical columns of the
>>> reinforced concrete structure at the floor level of the third floor.
>>>
>>> Conclusion:
>>>
>>> Based on my experience in weapons development and bomb
>>> damage analysis, and on my review of all evidence available, I can
>>> say, with a high level of confidence, that the damage pattern on the
>>> reinforced concrete superstructure could not possibly have been
>>> attained from the single truck bomb. The total incompatibility of this
>>> pattern of destruction with a single truck bomb lies in the simple,
>>> incontrovertible fact that some of the columns collapsed that should
>>> not have collapsed if the damage were caused solely by a truck
>>> bomb, and, conversely, some of the columns were left standing that
>>> should have collapsed if the damage had been caused solely by the
>>> truck bomb.
>>>
>>> It is my hope and request that, as a Member of Congress, you will
>>> support a Congressional investigation to determine the true initiators
>>> of this bombing, which could not have occurred the way in which it
>>> has been portrayed as having happened.
>>>
>>> Further, it is requested that you defer action and reserve judgment on
>>> so-called antiterrorism legislation that has serious civil liberties
>>> implications, and which would not be passed except for the Oklahoma
>>> City bombing until the causes of the Oklahoma City disaster are
>>> determined by independent investigators.
>>>
>>> Both the Federal Building in Oklahoma and the Trade Center in New
>>> York (See New York Times, October 28, 1993, p. A1) show evidence of
>>> a counterterrorism sting gone wrong. No government law
>>> enforcement agency should be permitted to demolish, smash and
>>> bury evidence of a counterterrorism sting operation, sabotage or
>>> terrorist attack without a thorough examination by an independent,
>>> technically competent agency.
>>>
>>> If an aircraft crashed because of a bomb, or a counterterrorism sting
>>> or an FAA Controller error, the FAA would not be permitted to gather
>>> and bury the evidence. The National Transportation Safety Board
>>> would have been called in to conduct an investigation and where
>>> possible every piece of debris would have been collected and arrayed
>>> to determine cause of failure.
>>>
>>> To remove all ambiguity with respect to the use of supplementary
>>> demolition charges, the FBI should be required to release the high
>>> quality surveillance color TV camera tape of the Murrah building
>>> bombing on April 19, 1995.
>>>
>>> It is my observation that the effort required to bomb the A. P. Murrah
>>> Federal Building in Oklahoma City pales in comparison with the effort
>>> to cover up evidence in Oklahoma and the media's withholding of
>>> vital information from the American people.
>>>
>>> Sincerely yours,
