RE: ROBERT WESLEY RACKSTRAW SUB NUMBER 933

---

Re Sacramento airtel to Seattle, 5/5/78; Seattle airtel to Portland, 5/24/78.

Contact with USA SIDNEY I. LEZAK, District of Oregon, Portland, Oregon, on 6/12/78, determined that USA LEZAK wished to have the matter of the means of obtaining RACKSTRAW's palm prints researched before taking any action. He advised he would have the matter researched and advise.

On 6/26/78, USA LEZAK advised he had turned the matter over to First AUSA[REDACTED], District of Oregon.

On 7/3/78, First AUSA[REDACTED] advised that he wishes to explore the possibility of obtaining RACKSTRAW's palm prints through some other means than a subpoena or a court order. He accordingly requested that the identity of the District Attorney of the locality in which RACKSTRAW is to be tried for murder be obtained and furnished to him, so that he may contact that District Attorney and discuss the matter with him.
