Dear Mr Adams, To respond to your questions I offer the following: In a message dated 96-08-20 06:40:27 EDT, UnreConfed writes: > That's really funny.

Interesting misdirection, since the article claims strassmeir left following 'pointed queries', but it doesn't claim that they were JD's queries. Considering the apparent links between brescia, strassmeir, and the "ARA" wingdings I would imagine that JD was neither the first nor the last to desire a straightforward conversation with *both* of those individuals. NOTE: Inquiries came from the following parties re: Strassmeir 1. Los Angeles Times - August 1995 2. New York Times - August 1995 3. Dallas Morning News - September 1995 4. Richard Reyna "investigator" from Stephen Jones office 1st week of September 1995 Brescia requests came much later, led by NBC Dateline JD Cash never figured in any of these requests for information. I talked to him briefly in October or November 1995, but he asked no questions no "pointed inquiries." Also, it was my impression that Brescia, rather than Strassmeir, seemed the most likely candidate for JD #2. Note: Neither of them look anything like John doe #2. I cannot speak about any other suspects as I have no direct knowledge. > Y'know, between the poorly structured attempt to smear Mr. Wilburn on > the net last weekend, and this sudden increase in communications from > Mr. Lyons, one might easily draw the conclusion that *somebody* has > started to feel some pressure.... Note: Know nothing of any smear of Mr. Wilburn. My only E-Mail source of OKC goings on is through Mike Vanderboegh's missives. I can assure you there is no "pressure" on my end. Mike is kindly letting me know what he says about Andy & me, I respond when I can.
