IT WAS APRIL 19, 1993 -- AFTER A 51-DAY STAND-OFF BETWEEN THE FBI AND
DAVID KORESH AND HIS FOLLOWERS.... THIS WAS THE TRAGIC FIRE THAT ENDED
IT ALL.
NOW--THERE'S EVIDENCE THE FBI USED INCEDIARY TEAR GAS CANISTERS ON A
CONCRETE BUNKER -- BUT NOT AT THE WOODEN COMPOUND STRUCTURE THAT BURNED
SEVERAL HOURS LATER.
THE EVIDENCE-- WHICH U-S MARSHALLS CONFISCATED FROM FBI HEADQUARTERS--
IS A TAPE FROM AN FBI PLANE WHICH RECORDED A CONVERSATION BETWEEN AGENTS
AND A SUPERIOR WHO OKAYED THE USE OF FLAMMABLE TEAR GAS.
SOT: JAMES KALLSTROM/FMR. ASST. DIR., FBI
A RADIO IN THE AIRPLANE THAT WAS LISTENING TO THE HRT TACTICAL RADIO
RECORDED SOME INSTRUCTIONS .... THE OK WAS GIVEN.
IN THE CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION THAT FOLLOWED THE TRAGEDY, U-S
ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO TESTIFIED THAT BRANCH DAVIDIANS -- NOT THE
FBI-- STARTED THE FIRE. BUT THIS LATEST REVELATION RAUSES QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHETHER RENO KNEW ABOUT THE FLAMMABLE TEAR GAS.

I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHERE SHE HAS EITHER LIED TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE OR ALLOWED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BE LIED TO.

I WAS ESSENTIALLY TRYING TO TELL HER --MAM SOMEONE'S NOT TELLING YOU
WHAT'S GOING ON... OR AT LEAST IT APPEARS TO ME BY HER STATEMENTS, SHE
DIDN'T KNOW.
RENO NOW WANTS AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ARE REPORTEDLY LOOKING FOR A REPUBLICAN FIGURE TO
HEAD UP THE PROBE. AMONG THE NAMES BEING DISCUSSES: FORMER SENATOR JOHN
DANFORTH, WARREN RUDMAN AND DAN WEBB.
WITH CONGRESS SET TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK-- HOUSE REPUBLICANS
