Text: 16 At the 1992 trial Agent Doles testified that he examined all official FCIC and SCIC files pertaining to Walser before her first trial and found no mention of the uninsured soybeans purportedly planted on Bob Rees' farm. (R.II-57.) He further examined Walser's 1986 soybean acreage reports and, contrary to Walser's statement in her letter to Morrow, found no copy of the SCI-013 attached to them. (R.II-67-68). Those acreage reports were dated July 14, 1986, the same date used by Walser when she created the SCI-013 form and the accompanying letter. Each acreage report was marked on the reverse side: Received July 28, 1986. (R.II-66-67.) The SCI-013 form retrieved from Morrow's files had no date stamp. Agent Doles testified that he did not examine Morrow's files because Morrow, as an FCIC official, was not authorized to maintain official SCIC files. (R.II-58-59.) In sum, Agent Doles testified that neither Walser's 1986 acreage reports nor any other document in the FCIC or SCIC official files indicated that Walser informed the SCIC of uninsured soybeans. 17 Morrow testified that Walser sent him the SCI-013 and the accompanying letter, although he could not recall when he received them. (R.II-102.) He noted that it was unusual for him to have SCIC documents because he worked for the federal government and the SCIC was a private organization. (R.II-101, 104-05.) He kept the documents, however, because he routinely filed all correspondence. (R.II-103.) He further testified that after Walser subpoenaed the documents in his file she called Morrow to ensure he possessed the subpoenaed documents. (R.II-100.) Morrow told her that he did. Walser then explained that Morrow need not give the OIG a copy of the SCI-013 because it had one already. (Id.) Morrow testified that he felt tricked by Walser because he now knew the SCI-013 Walser sent him to be false and back-dated. (R.II-106-07.) 18 Robert Hagan (Hagan), the owner of AAA, testified that the SCIC ordered 5,000 SCI-013 Statement of Fact forms on July 10, 1986. (R.III-132-33.) Prior to this order, another printing company printed the forms. (R.III-143-44, 147.) The old forms did not identify the printer. (R.III-147.) AAA delivered the first 500 forms on July 22 and the remainder on July 28. (R.III-133.) No AAA forms were printed or delivered prior to July 14, 1986. (R.III-134.)
