        I made the following transcript from a tape recording 
        of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio station
               WBAI-FM (99.5)
               505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.

                        (continuation)
[Bill Hamilton is the chief executive officer of the Inslaw Corporation 
(a software company) and the developer of its PROMIS software package.]

PAUL DeRIENZO:
I know that you won your suit and that there were some appeals by
the government. Has that been completed yet -- the legal proceedings?

BILL HAMILTON:
No. The government appealed from the bankruptcy court to the U.S.
District Court. The U.S. District Court, in November, 1989, 
affirmed the bankruptcy court saying that the evidence was
sufficient to support the findings (quote) "under any standard of
review." (closed quotes). Then the Justice Department appealed 
again to the United States Court of Appeals this time. And a three-
judge panel in May said, on a narrow jurisdictional ruling, that
we won the case in the wrong federal court. We should have tried
it in a different federal court. We are currently seeking 
certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court because we think that the
U.S. Court of Apppeals jurisdictional ruling was in error. But
when the U.S. Court of Appeals made its jurisdictional ruling,
it left undisturbed the findings of the bankruptcy court that
had already been upheld by the district court: that the Justice
Department stole six million dollars worth of our software through
"trickery, fraud and deceit", and then tried covertly to drive
Inslaw out of business. 

PAUL DeRIENZO:
Have you received any settlement on that?

BILL HAMILTON:
I've never received a penny! And the forty-two largest United
States Attorneys' offices are still running their caseloads with
software that two federal courts said was deliberately stolen 
by the U.S. Department of Justice headquarters in Washington.

PAUL DeRIENZO:
And that was Bill Hamilton, the chair of Inslaw, a software
producing company in Washington, D.C. that has been battling the
United States Government since the early 1980's and whose case
led to another window into the workings of the "Secret Team", 
"the Octopus", and the death of Danny Casolaro.

ROBERT KNIGHT:
This is UNDERCURRENTS. You've just heard Bill Hamilton, a man at 
the center of a pattern of deception, corruption and implications 
that are so tremendous that it's difficult to even encompass them all.

This is WBAI, New York. before continuing, it is essential that 
you call this radio station. Because now, as Bill Hamilton says,  
the issue has been joined. What can you expect from the Federal
Government if, indeed, it is involved in such a wide-ranging
conspiracy? 

Well, we know that what we're going to do is continue to pursue
this and bring you the kind of information you've been listening 
to for a solid half-hour this morning here on UNDERCURRENTS.
(212)279-3400 is the number to call. If you want to have an 
independent reportorial investigative arm, support us now and let
us know that this is important to you. 

Let me just try and delineate some of the implications of this.
A reporter gets close to the story. A reporter ends up dead.
A reporter looks into something that is so big that it involves
a global conspiracy. 

Let's just take one little aspect of that: the case-tracking
abilities of this software. You remember, during this interview
that Paul DeRienzo produced, that Bill Hamilton said that copies
of that software ended up in places like Israel, Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, and around the world. In countries ....

PAUL DeRIENZO:
Iraq, as well, in 1987. As a matter of fact, Richard Secord,
according to an Iranian arms dealer who is now in jail, made the
sales pitch. 

ROBERT KNIGHT:
Let's recall who Richard Secord is. The former commander of the
air wing in Vietnam. In it's program, Dang Pao (?), the ambiance
out of which was shipped a crippling incapacitation of heroine
into the United States. He ends up involved with Southern Air
during the Iran-Contra period, and those airplanes are used for
shipping arms out of this country, and are used, according to
various reports that you've heard here and elsewhere, for 
shipping cocaine into the United States.

       This is one of countless stories unveiling the deeply corrupted    
       and subverted state of our theoretically democratic Government.
       This story makes disgustingly obvious the fact that patriotism
       is not the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the 
       supporting of the Government, just because it happens to be ours.
       You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it.
       Patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country
       in order that they may unite to conquer the anti-democratic
       cancer that is gradually destroying ours and our children's
       freedom. So please post the installments of this ongoing series
       to other bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places,
       both on and off campus.  That would be a truly patriotic deed.
