-Caveat Lector- I am glad they clarified this. I was beginning to think that they might have some honest Americans working at the Texas DPS. I should have known.

As the DPS said shortly after the fire at the Branch Davidian compound in 1993, the Ranger inquiry, which was requested by the U.S. Department of Justice, would be the most complicated in the organization's history. Nearly a third of the Texas Ranger Division, working with DPS crime lab personnel, DPS Special Crimes investigators and other DPS personnel, collected thousands of pieces of evidence at the scene. Though the fire occurred six years ago, the DPS undertook the renewed inquiry in June, at the direction of DPS Public Safety Commission Chairman James B. Francis Jr. in response to questions raised concerning some of the evidence. We think it is important to make this point: The DPS is not investigating the FBI or the U.S. Department of Justice. Once the Rangers have completed their inquiry, the results will be sent to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Waco, which has jurisdiction in this matter. In response to other frequently-asked questions: 1. The DPS must limit its public comments concerning this matter because of a pending civil suit since evidence collected by the DPS will be a factor in the trial. 2. The current DPS inquiry started in June. 3. The findings of the current inquiry, which is nearly complete, will be made available to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Any action taken after that point would be up to the Justice Department. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
