Your representative Mr. McCoy came to check on me thru the interference of one of my relatives. I am 34, and am very happy on our Peoples Temple Agricultural Project and told him so. During McCoy’s visit myself and others on the project

COL LT US 34,

were told that the American Embassy took a neutral position on custody issues and we later found out that the assistant to Mr. McCoy was directly supporting an attorney and taking sides in a specific custody case. I question this kind of involvement by the Embassy and I would like

to see that the Embassy does keep a neutral course regarding custody matters. I feel it’s inappropriate for such an agency to behave in this way and hope it will be corrected.
