Summary Note
In connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman LEO J. RYAN at Port Kaituma, Guyana, South America, on November 18, 1978, a tape recording was obtained. This tape recording was located in Jonestown, Guyana, South America, and was turned over to U.S. Officials in Guyana and subsequently transported to the United States. On June 11, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B102-C51. This tape was found to contain the following: "You decide to investigate and you’ll never return". "For each time you step outside your house – they attach". "I want to tell you". Each of the above statements is repeated rapidly four times followed between with a 20 second pause. The rest of the tape is blank. There is no summary or transcript of this recording, but a full index is available on the Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website.
