On page 305, Moore writes:

        "It was, after all, Higgin's who'd decide to request that Texas
        Rangers conduct the inquiry.  "We had the option...and {Harrnet
        and I] both agreed,"  Higgins says, "it was better to have the
        Rangers do it to avoid the very thing that happened.  That
        someone claimed we went in and tried to cover up.  And then, two
        days later, I wrote a memo on my own initiative to Treasury
        saying instead of us doing the shooting review, it'd be better
        if you form a team of experts from outside ATF...and that way we
        won't have to worry about people questioning our objectivity."

That may be exactly what Higgins said, but the fix was in-all the way to
the top in Treasury!  The April 14, 1993 Treasury interoffice memo,
subject "Preliminary Vindicative Plan" from General Counsel for
Enforcement states:

        "DoJ does not want Treasury to conduct any interviews or have
        discussions with any of the participants, who may be potential
        witnesses; the prosecutors do not want us to generate additional
        Jencks, Brady or Giglio material or oral statements which could
        be used for impeachment.

                PROB. our information will be limited to what TRs ask,
                which will focus on the gunfight and not necessarily on
                the other major topics in which we are interested; we
                may not have the first-hand information that we need to
                conduct our interview;

                --at some point we are going to have to interview the
                crucial witnesses and perhaps may have to take
                statements; while we may be able to wait for some of
                them to have testified in criminal trial, the passage of
                time will dim memories;

        DoJ does not want us to make any findings or draw any
        conclusions from what we review; the prosecutors are concerned
        that anything negative, even preliminary, could be grist for the
        defense mill."

And then from a September 17, 1993 memo from the Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury for Enforcement has this:

        "March 1, 1993                             Troy WAR Interview
        ATF initiates a shooting review.  David Troy and Bill Wood
        interview Rodriquez and Mastin (3/1), Chojnacki (3/3), Cavanaugh
        (3/3), Sarabyn (3/2).  Troy tells Review they immediately
        determined that these stories do not add up.  They communicated
        information to both Harnett and Conroy on the day or the day
        after each interview.  Conroy gave Troy's handwritten notes to
        Harnett. (Note--Johnston at this point advised Harnett to stop
        the ATF Shooting review because ATF was creating Brady Material.
        Because Chojnacki had not yet been interviewed, Johnston
        authorized that interview but no notes were created.)

So, despite what Higgins is supposed to have told Moore, ATF had begun a
shooting review UNTIL the lawyers said "Stop!  You are helping the
Davidians's case!  If it's not on paper, it didn't happen."

Yes sir, "institutional perjury" begins at the top, and, like sh--, ran
downhill to the ATF.....
