July 12, 1977Professor G. Robert BlakeyHouse Select Committee on AssassinationsHouse of RepresentativesWashington, D.C.20515Dear Professor Blakey:I am sending the resume which you requested, along with a suggested salary of $25,000, (in line with the level which I would automatically reach with the Justice Department in the relatively near future).The litigation experience reflected on the resume is almost complete; it omits only a second casel in Puerto Rico (conspiracy) currently in pre-trial stages, an Atlanta conspiracy case I am preparing to indict, and a brief just completed for an appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The job has provided me with a varied and respectable amount of litigation and appeal experience, in addition to the more routine matters (immunities, witness protections, indictment dismissals, Title III wiretap authorizations, solicitor general memos etc.) handled on a daily basis by the various sections within the Criminal Division.The job which you have described obviously presents an exciting and unique opportunity. Further, I would consider it an honor to work with you on the investigation. I expect I would be able to start work with you within a month, or sooner, should an offer be extended. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.Sincerely,![signature]![Peter Beeson name and address]NW 88326Docld:32243271 Page 8
