FBI Section 113 \u2013 which is labelled in the\u00a0Guyana Index<\/em><\/a>\u00a0as \u201cTerri Buford\u201d \u2013 comprises 266 pages. (It should be noted that there is a second folder labelled as \u201cTerri Buford,\u201d\u00a0Folder R-1 of FBI Section 97<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The listing below is complete for this section of the FBI\u2019s FOIA release. The complete PDF for this section as released by the FBI is\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As differentiated from many sections on this site, these documents have been broken down into several sections of reports and letters. As much as is possible, the reports have been arranged in chronological order.<\/p>\n

It should also be noted that, while Ms. Buford referred to herself as “Teresa” in some of her formal writings, such as letters to government officials, she was known in the Temple usually as “Terri,” but sometimes as “Teri.” The variations in the spellings were hers, and are reflected in the documents below.<\/p>\n

The citation for these documents should open with the FBI\u2019s official designation of these records, which is \u201cRYMUR 89-4286.\u201d Each individual page in these records has a unique number. The first page of the subsection on the Jean Brown reports<\/a>, for example, is marked \u201cB-7-A49\u201d. The complete citation for that page, then, would be \u201cRYMUR 89-4286-B-7-A49\u201d.<\/p>\n

These reports were transcribed and annotated by Cole Waterman. The editors are grateful for his invaluable assistance and considerable eye to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
