Secretary Lloyd Bentsen briefed reporters on the details of the five-month investigation into the failed Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) raid of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He announced that John Magaw, the current head of the Secret Service, will take over as acting director of the ATF.

Following a short statement, Secretary Bentsen took numerous questions from reporters concerning the handling of the failed raid. Police Chief Willie Williams was a member of the independent review panel and also took questions. close
