A recorded JIM JONES speech in which a variety of topics are mentioned including:
1. Contingency plans in case of a "take over" or if JONES is extradited to the U.S.
2. JONES states that he has assets of $4,000,000, "Assets that I can get my hands on."
3. The formation of a legal defense fund, and why church money cannot be used.
4. The fact that JONES had a million dollars before coming in to Guyana and hopes to go to Cuba with the money.
5. The logistics of taking money out of the U.S. (smuggling), "No more than $5,000 per person." The need for using a coded message to signify the "expending" of such money; the feasibility of moving gold and valuables instead of cash.
6. JONES states that gold and silver should be kept in Jonestown, not in Georgetown, "where we now have some things."
7. JONES states that he has kept the money completely secret until now. JONES only told the "2 sisters." JONES also told ESSY TOWERS (phonetic) about where the money is hidden. "CHARLEY", (who is apparently present), didn’t even know.
8. JONES states that women are better suited to smuggle money.
9. Criticism of ARCHIE who buried some money and told SHAKIN (phonetic), "a brilliant attorney at home", where it was buried. ARCHIE apparently thought that he was going to be killed and used the money, (or knowledge of its whereabouts) as a bargaining point.
10. JONES: "We got so damn many guns that we don’t know what to do with them." (Shotguns in CHAKIN’s [Chaikin's] name)
11. Dr. SHACK (phonetic) tested JONES for depression and stated that he was below suicidal.
12. Philosophies of Communism.

CHARLES GARRY, attorney who just returned from Guyana, is being interviewed by unknown male (likely over the radio) on Thanksgiving night. GARRY describes Guyana as "Paradise". GARRY states the area has 800 members of the church, People’s Temple, and they have set up 80-90 cottages. GARRY states he was there for three days. Describes Guyana as an agricultural project. He claims they have a medical center there equal to the Mayo Clinic. According to GARRY, senior citizen cottages are around the medical center. States there’s a medical team of about 18 and one doctor.
GARRY states the people there were very antagonistic to the allegations being made about People’s Temple. GARRY states he saw no evidence of any of the people being beaten over there (referring to Guyana).
GARRY states that JONES is not coming back (to the U.S.) because of one of JONES’ children and wouldn’t elaborate on the matter.
Radio Announcer: (478-3456 San Francisco), (832-9707 East Bay), (272-1233 San Jose), (453-6523 Marin). Radio announcer says his name is RON OWENS on KJEO and states he has a call on San Francisco line:
Caller identifies himself as "TIM" and asks what arrangements they have made in Guyana to educate their children. GARRY states they have 15 teachers and educators in Guyana.
Caller, identified as "MARLENE" on San Jose line, inquires regarding jurisdiction problem and GARRY says that this country (U.S.) would have no jurisdiction over JONES. GARRY admits JONES paid for his trip to Guyana.
GARRY talks about HUEY NEWTON and states he feels he’ll be acquitted.
Unknown female who states she is an ex-People’s Temple member and inquires how to be in contact with her family, which is now in Guyana. She advises her mail has been censored. GARRY states that if she would contact his (GARRY’s) office, he’d make arrangements for her to speak to her family by radio. Female caller comments that that is a lie, that once one is out of the church one can’t communicate with members of the church. She states her father in Guyana has wanted to leave but unable to do so. She advises when she was in the church that JONES used to threaten to kill members if they didn’t do what he said. This individual is placed on hold for another party to talk to her privately.
Unknown female who states her son MARK (16 years of age) was with JONES without her permission. She advises she too feels that the mail there is censored and her son hadn’t received her letters. GARRY states that this lady should contact his office and he’d arrange for her to talk to her son via radio. GARRY states that mail there is not censored and that the people can leave there anytime they want.
Another caller, sounds female, inquires about old man (100 plus) as to whether it was voluntary that he is with JONES and also inquired if children there work. GARRY comments that the children there do all the things that children do.
SALLY (LNU [Last Name Unknown]) calls and inquires about the Ku Klux Klan and what can be done to get them out of the border patrol business. GARRY comments he really doesn’t know. They discuss the Ku Klux Klan for a while.
Discussion occurs regarding "gag order" and how much the people should have a right to know. GARRY states the media should be given a free hand and write what they want.

Another older female talks and makes a comment about wanting to go back to San Francisco or "where ever these devils is keeping up so much confusion and keeping you worried all the time and kill out all of them".
Another female talks (she introduces herself but the name is unintelligible) and states that she came because of what he (JONES) stood for. She comments she would like to go back and take care of all those that caused so much trouble. This was in response to JONES’ question about what do you want to do with your life.
JONES makes a comment that some of his best workers are mentally ill and makes a comment about need to be mentally ill in order to be a communist.
Unknown female (sounds like an elderly female) comments that she’d follow JONES anywhere.
Another unknown female talks about going to Cuba and states they would get in trouble if they don’t keep the laws there.
JONES makes a comment regarding probably the reason that Guyana let them stay together as a group was they (Guyana) could use these people politically and let him kill himself trying to keep them good. He (JONES) comments "I just think there’s a chance it won’t happen".
JONES further comments that Cuba saved their country from U.S. by reporting. JONES states that here you’re reporting to protect the people, in the system back there (implying the U.S.), you’re reporting to help the police.
An unknown female is talking and states something regarding Professor WILSON commented about JONES becoming a great leader in Cuba and consequently the world revolution.
JONES talking about a trip where he was supposed to see a museum in Cuba and somehow arrived in central communist headquarters where all the "big wigs" were. JONES makes a comment about having the children brought up in China in communism was twice as better as killing them or having them brought up in the U.S.
An unknown female comments that being with JONES is being highly principled.
An upcoming hearing is mentioned and the congregation is advised that if anyone knows anything regarding corruption, to get the information to a certain person.
JONES is talking and states "CURT I heard you, did you not TIM STONE want to murder KING SAVIE? Didn’t you plan to blow up whatever the goddamn buildings… (inaudible)". You were going to do that and it was JIM JONES that stop you from that. You tried to turn me to terrorism and he wanted to go the way of peace".
JONES makes a comment regarding personal vengeance is not a communist practice.
JONES states that he (TIM) went out and hired a detective, implying to kill KING SAVIE and detective didn’t do anything but take the $1000 fee.
During conversation JONES receives an unknown volunteer to go kill all the people causing the mess.
JONES makes a comment that worship is worship, you can call it God or you can call it leader, its still worship.
JONES obtains various views from members of the congregation about going to Cuba. Some of people say no regarding going to Cuba because they wouldn’t have their social security checks or security. Some were not wanting to go because they felt JONES’ leadership of his group would be a threat to the Cubans.
JONES puts it to a vote as to how many want to go to Cuba end begins to name off names, EDWARD MOORE, HAZEL, etc. of those who apparently want to go. JONES questions his congregation as to whether they know where Cuba is. The talking stops and there’s a portion of the tape blank.
Side B
Portion of tape is blank. Tape begins with JONES speaking in the middle of a sentence and comments about "those of you who voted cause afraid to die - keep on the move".
JONES comments that its one o’clock (at night) and that he would move the time up for his people to get to work. He tells his six o’clock crew to be in the fields by eight o’clock and the seven o’clock crew to be in at nine o’clock. JONES talks about their place going to be inspected and everything has to be in order and clean as expecting someone. He states he’ll worry about socialist classes next night when he’s here. Reference is made to getting him rested (unknown who "he" is). JONES comments about being pro-Soviet down the line. JONES tells them to say "comrade" when person appears. He states everyone is to look busy. States they’re expecting religion and you got to give them something. JONES talks about their (the group’s) victories and states they won over the state of California, won with the Attorney General, etc. JONES states they took away their tax exemption and their corporate name in California, "white night paid".
JONES states talking about their schedule of upcoming events, "tomorrow night nothing, teacher classes Monday, socialist classes Saturday night". JONES makes a comment he doesn’t know what night it is.
JONES continues talking and states, "one white night and kill them all… Put some of these fuckers through one white night and that’d be all".
"Your ass getting to Cuba, to Russia, or any place, our safety here will depend on how this place looks and how well you dress and clean yourself up." JONES comments about everybody looking active. States give him a soviet salute. JONES stated they’d be impressed as expecting religion and implies if give them salute instead - compensate for all that religious shit. JONES states call them comrade, not brother.
There’s a period of super imposed conversation which is unintelligible, and then JONES is talking again briefly, as if it is still the close of the meeting. Then the tape is blank to the end.
It is noted that during parts of the tape, it sounded as if phone conversation(s) was super imposed at various times, but the phone conversation(s) was unintelligible.
