Monday morning the FBI command center was contacted and Bob Hightower indicated that proof of Power of Attorney should be submitted. A copy of the affidavit of power of attorney was faxed to the FBI command center. Later Hunt contacted Manny Marquees and was told that they would be meeting to discuss the request and that he would call back with an answer. Having received no return call on Monday, Hunt attempted to contact Marquees on Tuesday. Some unknown individual assured Hunt that he would have Marquees return the call as soon as he was out of the meeting.
Hunt still waits word on the life saying effort.
The plan that had been submitted by Hunt was that the FBI would observe and inspect, without hands on, the packaging of the products by Red Cross personnel. The Red Cross would then air drop the package to the Mt. Carmel church complex. FBI, in press conferences, has stated that Pastor David Koresh's condition is becoming worse and could become fatal. The request that has been made is a humanitarian request similar to those honored in war time circumstances. It is no less humanitarian then the act of the church members on February 28th when the Davidians allowed BATF personnel to remove their dead and injured from the complex area.
