Officials seek
investigation
of Waco fire
WASHINGTON (AP) — More
previously undisclosed video
footage of the FBI’s 1993 tear-gas
assault on the Branch Davidian
cult surfaced Thursday, and At
torney General Janet Reno asked
an outsider to head an indepen
dent inquiry into the siege.
The FBI, meanwhile, made
public an aerial infrared video
tape that runs from just before
6 a.m. to 8 a.m. on April 19,
1993 — covering the period
during which the FBI assault on
the Davidian compound began
and capturing radio traffic re
lated to the use of combustible
tear gas canisters.
That footage, which FBI offi
cials said was discovered at the
FBI Hostage Rescue Team’s of
fices in Quantico, Va., this week,
wqs seized by federal marshals
Wednesday at the direction of se
nior Justice officials. The Hostage
Rescue Team was in charge of op
erations during the 51-day siege
and the final tear-gas f assault.
A transcript of the radio traffic,
released by the FBI, includes a
conversation in which an FBI field
commander granted permission
for an agent to lob military incen
diary tear-gas canisters at a con
crete bunker 40 yards from the
Davidians’ wooden compound
near Waco, Texas.
“He can try it?” asked HRT
supervisory special agent
Stephen P. McGavin, after de
scribing an agent’s desire to use
military canisters to inject tear
gas into the bunker.
“Yeah, that’s affirmative,” an
swered Richard M. Rogers, the
HRT’s assistant special agent in
charge.
The FBI said the conversation
took place at 7:49 a.m. — nearly
two hours after the tear-gas as
sault began but hours before
flames began racing through the
Davidians’ wooden home at
12:07 p.m.
House to be built on Bonfire si
BY STUART HUTSON
The Battalion
The “House on Campus” wall
raising ceremony tomorrow at 9
a.m. on the Bonfire site will official
ly commensurate the building of the
first Habitat for Humanity house
constructed entirely by Aggies.
Parker Stucky, public relations
representative for Texas A&M’s
chapter of Habitat for Humanity
and a sophomore environmental
design major, said the House on
Campus program is designed to
motivate the A&M community to
get involved with Habitat for Hu
manity by partially building a house
at the A&M polo fields.
Taylor Handly, president of the
A&M chapter of Habitat for Hu
manity and a junior genetics ma
jor, said the house will be built
halfway at the Bonfire site, so that
the outside walls and roof are
completed.
He said it will then be moved by
Crenshaw House Mobile Home
Moving company of Bryan to the
College Station address.
Handly said this move must be
made prior to Sept. 27 so that
preparations for the Bonfire center
pole may begin.
“Last spring a few
of us took it [the
house] on as sort of
a personal project/'

raising of the wall frames.
“We can t really have a ground

sitting on its final plot of land,"
Stucky said, “so we are having a
wall raising instead."
