[78-L] Theft of Recordings at NARA

[Michael Biel]

I, and many other friends of Les, are awaiting the list, but it is
evident that in all probability access to the recorded sound was not
lost, not even potentially lost, to the American people.  All had
probably been transferred, and many were probably duplicates.  The item
actually discussed in the plea bargain was apparently from a collection
that itself contained apparently stolen items. But if you bought items
on ebay from Hi-Fi_Gal, they are part of the stash.

 This fellow was a high ranking Public Official who seriously betrayed
the Public Trust ! It will be interesting to see what he actually gets
for a sentence, since according to the article he cut a Plea Deal with
Prosecutors ! He will probably get some kind of wrist slap. They should
not only toss him jail for a considerable time period, but he should
lose his Government Pension as well. Sadly, neither of these scenarios
will probably happen.
