Comments:
Dear Congressman: I have read the explanations at your
website on the need for Inquiry of Impeachment. I want you to expand the scope of your
inquiry into obstruction of justice, abuse of power and office to include something which
I have tried to investigate without progress. The House Waco Hearings in 1995 and the
report which followed specified that the DOD used jamming equipment to cause deliberate
interference to television broadcasts in the Waco, Texas area during the 51-day standoff
between federal military and police forces and the Branch Davidians. Newspapers reported
that the jamming equipment was supplied by the FCC. There are laws, the Communications
Act, which forbids the use of a government station to cause deliberate interference to
other stations (Sec.305). There are also laws against jamming (Sec.333), and a law against
the FCC engaging in censorship (Sec.326). The FBI is claiming that no violations of law
took place, even after bragging in front of news cameras on April 20, 1993 that they
jammed local television and radio stations during the siege. FBI further admits to jamming
the Amateur Radio Service, see

for the letter to Congressman Gingrich on this matter. Gingrich refuses to investigate
this matter even though FBI has already admitted to the crime.
QUESTIONS FOR INQUIRY OF IMPEACHMENT
Did President Clinton invoke Section 706 of the Communications Act (war, peril, disaster
and national emergency) to suspend the Act during the siege at Waco, making criminal
jamming operations permissible? Does this constitute abuse of power and office? Does the
refusal on the part of the White House to release the document authorizing jamming of
broadcasters and the Amateur Radio Service constitute obstruction of justice? Does the
claim made by the White House that the Office of the President is not subject to the
Freedom of Information Act constitute abuse of power and office? Clearly the Act names the
Office of the President as an agency covered by FOIA. I truely believe that you must
include these questions in you Inquiry of Impeachment. Although there are other claims of
crimes, these operations to which I refer are not lesser crimes. This is the first time in
America's history where domestic broadcaster have been jammed by the government for
clearly political purposes, in peacetime, without any threat presented to public order on
the part of the broadcasters.
Yours for Justice, George Zimmerlee
