Barr's letter is based on new evidence indicating Administration officials may have lied about whether shots were fired and about whether pyrotechnic or incendiary devices were used against the Davidians. Barr also sent a letter to Attorney General Reno calling for an investigation into whether federal agents misled Congress in 1995 testimony that no shots were fired into the compound, that no incendiary devices were used, and that there was no military involvement in the assault. "Government admissions that incendiary devices were used at Waco by federal agents raise serious questions about who is responsible for the deaths of over 80 American men, women, and children. Additionally, this new evidence casts doubt on statements of Administration officials, and could lead to charges of perjury," said Barr. "If federal officials have been lying about these elements of the siege, their testimony on other matters should also be examined. New evidence indicates the government fired into the compound, and that military forces may have been involved in the assault. These and other matters deserve the attention of Congress and the courts," Barr continued. Barr, a former federal prosecutor, serves on the House Judiciary and Government Reform Committees. He also served on the joint committee that investigated the Waco attack in 1995.
