\nRe: Guyana\/Drugs<\/p>\n
Since you are the point man on Guyana-related matters, I think it would be appropriate for you to respond to this inquiry from Congressman [Lester] Wolff\u2019s Chief Counsel, or to be in charge of preparing the response for someone else’s signature. Call me at your convenience so we can discuss this further.<\/p>\n

Honorable Phil Jordan
\nExecutive Assistant to the Attorney General
\nDepartment of Justice
\nWashington, DC 20530<\/p>\n
Dear Phil:<\/p>\n
You may recall our conversation on December 6 concerning the Chairman’s interest in the large inventory of drugs that were stocked in Jonestown, Guyana. At that time, you said to me that no reporter had queried the Justice Department regarding this important facet of the tragedy at Jonestown.<\/p>\n
I enclose a copy of a New York Times article on this subject dated December 29, and again request that the Department furnish the Committee with whatever information you may have received concerning this grievous subject.<\/p>\n
Sincerely yours,
\nJoseph L. Nellis
\nChief Counsel<\/p>\n
