RE: ROBERT WESLEY RACKSTRAW Sub #933

Re Portland airtel to the Bureau, dated 3/16/79.

On 4/23/79, AUSA [REDACTED] for the District of Oregon, Portland, Oregon, advised he had received a letter from Attorney [REDACTED] Oakland, California, [REDACTED]. This letter was a response to [REDACTED] letter to [REDACTED] dated 3/15/79, in which [REDACTED] furnished [REDACTED] with a list of questions to be answered by [REDACTED] client prior to any negotiations or discussions concerning the possible prosecution of that client. [REDACTED] advised the letter from [REDACTED] stated as follows:

"Dear [REDACTED]

"I am in receipt of your letter of 15 March, 1979, and agree to abide fully by its terms. I have discussed the contents of said letter with my client. At this point in time, he is not interested in pursuing the matter. This change in plans stems from personal problems which may well resolve themselves in the near future and allow us to once again pursue this topic.

"I shall consider the matter closed until I hear otherwise from my client and, in that event, I will contact you once again.

"Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

"Very truly yours,

"/s/ [REDACTED]
