Honorable Floyd K. Haskell

Dear Senator Haskell:
Your letter of August 29th to Special Agent in Charge Theodore P. Rosack has been forwarded to my office and I deeply appreciate the sincere concern expressed by you and your constituents.
The information set forth in your letter regarding the mutilation of cattle in Colorado and several other Western states and the reported use of an unidentified helicopter by those individuals responsible has been carefully reviewed. I regret to inform you that these actions do not constitute a violation of Federal law coming within the FBI's investigative jurisdiction.
I am sorry that I cannot give you a more favorable response and I hope the investigation currently being conducted by local law enforcement agencies regardign this matter will soon be successfully concluded.
Sincerely yours,
Clarence M. Kelley
