           Dr. Stephen Fischer-Galati


                    .While I am certain the Vice President would
           like to be of more assistance to you in this matter and
           appreciates your concern for your colleague, in the
           absence of information indicating Federal interest or
           a violation of Federal-statutes, this matter appears to
           be one solely within the investigative province of
           authorities in your area.

                                    Sincerely yours,
