April 19, 1995: James Pate, Soldier of Fortune


First draft; transcription suspended at point of speaker's prepared text.

Ron Engelman: All this took place, there was an author. A writer. A gentleman that, uh, saw what was happening, didn't like what he saw, and decided to do some investigating. And did a number of, a lot of investigative reporting. On what happened here. Found out a lot of inside information about the government's thoughts. And what the government had done and the reason they had done it. That gentleman, wrote a number of articles, all of which I've read, in Soldier of Fortune magazine. He's with us today and I'd like to introduce him right now. His name is James Pate. Mr. Pate? [applause]

Thanks, Ron!

You look a lot drier than I do!

Well, I've been trying to stay dry.

Well, all right!

I gave Pam Hawkins some names and phone numbers. Uh, and she's circulating those names and phone numbers. And for the sake of brevity, I'm not gonna go through those names and phone numbers, but they are the names and phone numbers of, uh, several people in Congress. That, uh, if you don't call 'em, nothing's going to change here. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is one I recommend. These are the people you should call about, uh, uh, Congressional hearings on Waco. Senate Judiciary chairman Orrin Hatch. Most of your

Thank you. [applause]

Ron Engelman: Thanks, James. And, uh, one thing he didn't tell you, but I'll tell you. Get the current issue, or the May issue I believe it is, isn't it, James? The May issue of, uh, Soldier of Fortune- what he was talking about here today is, uh, in an article in Soldier of Fortune. I'd strongly advise you to get it.

I just found out that these flowers that are sitting here in front of us were sent, uh, by Karen Westerfield of Texas City, Texas. And she couldn't be here, but, uh, she sent the flowers...

Next Speaker: Dick Reavis
