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 March 20, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B62 #55. This tape was found to contain the following:
Side One - unidentified male, possibly JIm Jones, reading news articles concerning Italy and commentary on those articles. The speaker makes reference to some guests that are expected in Guyana from various embassies.
Side Two is blank.
This tape was reviewed, and nothing was contained thereon which was considered to be of evidentiary nature or beneficial to the investigation of Congressman RYAN.
There is no summary or transcript of this recording, but a full index is available on the Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website.
