In April I wrote to Attorney General Gri_ ffiri B?l 1
inquiring about the results of an invest igaf.i.on about
the assassination of Orlando Letelier and Ronni. KaiJF3n
Moffitt . I was told the letter had been forwarded tee
the Central Intelligence Agency, but I have rece:eiv? c no
further response.
I would like to know exactly what steps the Just. ice
Department is goin?; to take, or has taken in this
investigation and what kind of an investigation is be-ing
made of the failure of United States intelligence -1,enc.es
to know about threats against a prominent resident of the
United States and diplomat and to protect him from
those threats. I must stress that I am anxious for?
information pertaining to this,
It was well known that Orlando Letelier was opposed
to the Pinochet government of Chile and had rectivE?d
threats on his life, and yet American intelligence
agencies for which we pay billions of dollars did not
do their job and protect him which led to his assassination.
I look forward to hearing from you on this matlc?r
.Very soon,
With best regards,
Sincerely,
\\"e-,
