   On January 10th of this year, a letter to President Clinton
was sent regarding the need for a presidential commission to
investigate civil rights violations by federal law-enforcement
agencies, in light of the BATF-FBI actions in the Branch Davidian
case, the Randy Weaver case, and others.  This letter, announced
at a joint news conference in Washington sponsored by the
American Civil Liberties Union, was signed by several organizations
involved in defense of individual rights, including the ACLU,
the National Rifle Association, the Criminal Justice Policy
Foundation, the Citizens' Committee for the Right to Keep and
Bear Arms, the Drug Policy Foundation, the Independence Institute,
the International Association for the Oversight of Law Enforcement,
the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National
Legal Aid and Defenders Association, and the Second Amendment
Foundation.  No action by the Clinton Administration has yet been
taken in response to this letter.

   "That government certainly deserves no honest man's love
      or support, which, from the very laws of its being,
        carries terror and danger to the virtuous,
      and arms the vicious with authority and power."
