Attn: Mr. Jose Pedia



July 15, 1996



Dear Sir:



On April 26 of this year, an arrest was made in Macon, Georgia. This

arrest alleged that members of the Macon militia were involved in the

manufacture of un-registered explosive devices.



On this same day, CBS news reported this militia group was preparing to

operate against the Olympic games in Atlanta. A spokesman for the DOJ,

publicly denied any connection between this militia group and the

Atlanta Olympics, however, CBS refused to back away from their original

statement.



We have learned through two confidential sources, that you, in fact,

were the spokesman who tipped CBS to this supposed connection.



My question to you, sir, is whether you are prepared to confirm or deny

these statements. If you choose to ignore this request, we will provide

documentation to your superiors, and press, supporting these claims.



Sincerely,



<signed>
