Mr. Kermeth E. Melson

Acting Director

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

99 New York Avenue, NE

Washington, DC 20226

Dear Acting Director Melson:

Recent media reports have raised grave questions about your department's handling of

operations involving gun trafficking into Mexico. In the aftermath of the tragic killings of

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime

Zapata, it is imperative that you act decisively to assuage the public's deep suspicions that the

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has a policy of permitting - and

even encouraging - the movement of guns into Mexico by straw purchasers. The presence of

these guns may have subsequently led to the deaths of hundreds of people on both sides of the

border, including Agents Terry and Zapata.'

It has been brought to my attention that you are not cooperating with congressional

inquiries about Project Gunrurmer and Operation Fast and Furious. Last week, Senator Charles

Grassley expressed frustration at ATF's responsiveness in a letter to the Department of Justice

(DOJ): "I'm still asking questions and we're getting the runaround from the Justice Department,

[t]hey're stonewalling. And the longer the wait, the more they fight, the more egg that they're

going to have on their face.,,2

Operation Fast and Furious is part of ATF's Project Gunrunner program designed to

prevent illegal guns from crossing the border into Mexico. ATF implemented the plan in June

2007 and outlined four key areas of Gunrurmer: expansion of gun tracing in Mexico,

intemational coordination, domestic activities, and intelligence.

Mr. Kenneth E. Melson

Page 2

A November 2010 DO} Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report detailed many

shortcomings with the program, especially its inability to find and arrest higher-level traffickers3

With direct approval from ATF headquarters in Washington, a special ATF strike force let

federally licensed gun shops sell about 1765 firearms to straw buyers for the drug cartels over a

15 month span beginning in October 2009.

4

Some 797 of the guns were recovered as a result ofcriminal activity on both sides of the border, including two at the site of the killing of Agent

Terry.

At the same time of the release of the OIG report ~ and perhaps influenced by it ~ ATF

formalized its policy of letting American guns reach the drug cartels.i Field agents vociferously

objected, aghast at the prospect of high-caliber weapons being allowed to enter Mexico.6 Senior

Agent John Dodson was one ofthose agents who came forward to complain that the ATF had

allowed the guns to be "walked" into Mexico.7 ATF even videotaped suspected drug cartel

suppliers as they loaded AK-47 tlpe assault rifles into their cars and permitted them to transport

those firearms across the border. ATF officials failed to report this to Mexican authorities/ and

eventually lost track of hundreds of these guns.l'' Unsurprisingly, these weapons began showingup at crime scenes both in Mexico and the U.S. Notably on December 14,2010, two "walked"

rifles turned up at Agent Terry's murder site.

Senator Grassley requested specific documents about this policy but, thus far, has

received nothing from ATF or DOJ. In fact, Special Agent In Charge (SAC) William D. Newell

has steadfastly denied that this policy even exists, as has DOJ.lI When confronted by

documentary evidence from Senator Grassley's office, however, Attorney General Holder asked

the Justice Department's Office ofInspector General (DOl-OIG) to conduct a review. Such a

review by the Acting Inspector General, however, is inadequate. As Senator Grassley wrote to

Kevin Perkins, Chair of the Integrity Committee of the Council of Inspectors General on

Integrity and Efficiency, "the DOJ-OIG does not appear to be completely disinterested in the

outcome of its review. Without a greater level of independence, it will be difficult for the public

to have faith in the impartiality and integrity of the result.,,[2

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Given the entanglement of the DOJ-OIG

report with the policy change, it has become clear that the Acting Inspector General cannot

conduct an objective and independent inquiry sufficient to foster public confidence. Only a full

congressional investigation can achieve this result and restore the public's faith in the 'workings

of the ATF .. Therefore, I am requesting that you provide the following documents andinformation:

1. Documents and communications relating to the genesis of Project Gunner and

Operation Fast and Furious, and any memoranda or reports involving any changes to

either program at or near the time of the release of the DOJ-OIG report about Project

Gunrunner in November 2010.

2. A list of individuals responsible for authorizing the decision to "walk" guns to

Mexico in order to follow them and capture a "bigger fish."

3. Following the fatal shooting of Agent Brian Terry, did ATF conduct an investigationof the circumstances of his killing? Did you determine whether the two guns found at

the crime scene were permitted to cross into Mexico?

4. Is ATF aware what weapon was responsible for the death of Agent Brian Terry?

5. All documents, including e-mails, relating to communications between the ATF and

the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) who sold weapons to Jaime Avila, including any

Report of Investigation (ROI) or other records relating to a December 17, 2009

meeting "to discuss his role as an FFL during this investigation."

6.. A copy of the presentation, approximately 200 pages long, that the Group 7

Supervisor made to officials at ATF headquarters in the spring of 2010.

7.. All documents, including e-mails, relating to communications regarding Operation

Fast and Furious between ATF headquarters and Special Agent in Charge (SAC)

William D. Newell, Assistant Special Agents in Charge Jim Needles and George

Gillette, Group Supervisor David Voth, or any Case Agent from November 1, 2009 to

the present. The response to this request should include a memorandum,

approximately 30 pages long, from SAC Newell to ATF headquarters following the

arrest of Jaime Avila and the death of Agent Brian Terry,

8. All documents and communications related to complaints or objections by ATF

agents in Phoenix about letting straw buyers with American guns enter Mexico.

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight

Committee of the House of Representatives and may at "any time" investigate "any matter" as

set forth in House Rule X.

We request that you provide the requested documents and information as soon as

possible, but no later than 5:00 p.m. on March 30,2011. When producing documents to the

Committee, please deliver production sets to the Majority Staff in Room 2157 of the Rayburn

House Office Building and the Minority Staff in Room 2471 of the Rayburn House Office

Building. The Committee prefers, if possible, to receive all documents in electronic format. Anattachment to this letter provides additional information about responding to the Committee's

request.
