MR. JUSTICE ERICKSON
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent in part. In my view, the foundation necessary to admit a tape recording was properly enunciated in United States v. McKeever, 169 F.Supp. 426 (S.D.N.Y.) and approved in United States v. McMillan, 508 F.2d 101 (8th Cir. 1974).
In my opinion, no proper foundation was laid for the admission of the tape recordings, and the recordings should not have been admitted into evidence.
Accordingly, I would reverse and order a new trial.
MR. JUSTICE CARRIGAN has authorized me to say that he joins me in this dissent.
