(Bill) Gorman X-----------------------------ATTACHMENT------------------------------ BATF THUGS STRIKE AGAIN! The lives of Harry and Theresa Lamplugh were turned upside down on the morning of may 25, 1994. Early that day, 15 to 20 armed [balance of previously posted article deleted] Verification: I have been in communication with Gun Owners of America and Mrs. Lamplugh. Attached is the additional information thus obtained - in all cases with specifically-requested and specifically-granted permission to reproduce anywhere, by any means, in any media, so long as the content is unedited. I also grant similar permission for my writings. Addresses: Theresa and John Lamplugh RD 2, Box 172, Wellsboro, PA 16901 Phone: 717-724-7918 FAX: 717-724-4992 John A Fielding III 532 Elm St., Reading, PA 19601 Attorney for Lamplughs in PA 215-374-8359 Robert E. Sanders 7125 Sixteenth St., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20012 Attorney for Lamplughs in DC 202-723-2998 Gun Owners of America 8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102 Springfield, VA 22151 703-321-8585 G. Gordon Liddy Radio Show (address unknown) Phone: 1--800-GGLIDDY Court Reference: Federal District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 3:MI-94-88-01 and 3:MI-94-88-02, "U.S. vs. A Quantity of Misc. Firearms, Assorted Ammo and Other Property." At approximately 9:00PM EDT this date I called the above phone number. A female answered who identified herself as Theresa Lamplugh. I cannot verify this but perhaps someone closer to the specified location can do so. Mrs. Lamplugh answered all my questions after I explained the reason for my call. She also said she would make available through her attorney any other information about the case that might be desired. She says that she and her husband are customarily home Monday through Thursday and that anyone is welcome to call or visit in person to verify her identity and check the validity of her story. Mrs. Lamplugh says that her home is isolated "on a mountaintop" - she compared it to Ruby Ridge - but that she and her husband are known in Wellsboro and that anyone there would be able to provide road directions to their home, or visitors may phone her for directions to the house. Please identify yourself as having heard of the Lamplugh's via the Internet if you choose to do this. MRS. LAMPLUGH VERIFIED THE ACCOUNT OF BATF ACTIVITIES CONTAINED HEREIN. In fact, that account is part of the Lamplugh's filings against the BATF. Mrs. Lamplugh goes on to make the following claims/statements/ allegations (I represent these only as the statements I heard during a phone conversation with someone identifying herself as Mrs. Lamplugh but otherwise unknown to me - I am not and never have been acquainted or connected with the Lamplughs in any way aside from this single telephone conversation): 1. The Lamplugh's have received late-night threatening phone calls from anonymous individuals identifying themselves only as "federal employees" in which the caller stated that if the Lamplughs didn't "button their lip" they would "be dead". 2. After having an expert check their telephone line they were advised that it appeared to be tapped. 3. They have been told by other parties that the ATF appears to be working through the list of names seized from the Lamplugh in an attempt to intimidate individuals into "confessing" to participating in illegal acts with the Lamplughs. 4. The ATF has adopted a tactic of stalling in the hope that Harry Lamplugh, a terminal cancer patient, will die and the whole matter will "blow over". Mrs. Lamplugh indicates that she has been told that this may be the Lamplugh's last Christmas together. 5. A reporter for the "Our Town" show, running on Harrisburg Cable Co. out of Malvern, PA did a 30-minute show on the raid and was subsequently subjected to attempts at intimidation aimed at preventing airing of the show. (Mrs. Lamplugh has the name of the reporter as I recall, but I didn't get it). Mrs. Lamplugh is has a copy of a tape of this show. 6. Threats were received after appearing on Channel 16, Scranton, PA and after speaking on the G. Gordon Liddy radio talk show. 7. To this date, the affdavits supporting the search warrants remain sealed. Pres. Clinton is already talking of cutting the BATF budget by 25%, laying off some 500+ of these creatures. Now would be a good time to put a little pressure on him and the cost-cutting Republicans to make it more like a 75% budget cut. We don't need this sort of person in federal service. My opinion, of course. W. K.
