Key paragraphs found at the link:

In addition to these concerns noted in the letter to the Attorney General, Acting Director Melson made key assertions to investigators:

- Contrary to denials by the Justice Department, Acting Director Melson acknowledged the agents had in fact witnessed transfers of weapons from straw purchasers to third parties without following the guns any further.
