Subject: U. S. v. Mauchlin, Investigation by Office of the Inspector General into FBI Laboratory

In accordance with your memorandum of January 30, 1997, as well as the January 22, 1997, letter from the Department's Inspector General, Michael R. Bromwich, I have reviewed the draft investigation which relates to the above-referenced trial and subject. It appears from my perspective to be accurate and thorough.

The only person with whom I shared the report was SA Michael Hahn, the case agent in Mauchlin. He too agreed with my observations regarding the completeness and correctness of the Department's investigation into this matter.

Please feel free to contact me (717-524-7804) if you have any additional questions about this matter. The letter of Mr. Bromwich, the attached draft and your memorandum are herewith enclosed.
