After the children are released, then traditional negotiation and tactical techniques can be employed, if necessary.

The profile assessments and recommendations set forth above have been reviewed and fully supported by the Negotiation Teaz.

We1martainly have a number of options to consider which could increase the stress and anxiety on DAVID KORESH and his followers. Many-af- these options however, would also succeed in Mutting down negotiations and convince KORESH and his followers :20 er.

If trust between DAVID KORESH and negotiators is ·broken, TWO Berthen faced with the prospect of eventually taking physical action against the compound, to destroy it, thus forcing people out. M: the compound is attacked, in all probability, BAVID KORESH and his followers will fight back to the death, to defend their property and their faith, as they believe they did on February 28, 1993. If that occurs, there will have to be a HRT response and the possibility of a tremendous loss of life, both within the compound, and of Bureau personnel.

Commanders are thus faced with the prospect of defending their actions and justifying the taking of the lives of children, who are with their families in a "defensive position", defending their religion, regardless of how bizarre and cult-like we believe it is manifested.

If we physically attack the compound, and children are killed, (even by Davidians), we, in the FBI, will be placed in a difficult position. The news media, Congress, and the American people, (who are currently applauding our negotiating efforts), will ask questions:

Why couldn't you just wait them out?

What threat did they pose to anyone, except themselves?
Why did you cause children to be killed?

Attached to this report is a news article (one of many) relating to the actions of the Philadelphia Police Dept. against the "MOVE" sect, a "back to nature" cult, in 1985. Their house was deluged with over one million gallons of water, over 10,000 rounds were fired, during the initial assault, and a bomb was dropped on the roof of the house. As a result, eleven people, including 5 children, died.

The public outcry, against the tactics employed by the Philadelphia PD continues to this day.

It is imperative that the FBI learn from the mistakes Made in Philadelphia.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1.

We recommend a continued effort to negotiate the release of all persons inside the compound, with assistance of Sheriff JACK HARWELL. His participation is necessary because of LORESH's hatred,and distrust of the Federal Government.

Re SSA FRED LANCELY, FBIHQ, SOARS Unit assessment of DAVID KORESH, 3/5/93.

One of the basic principals of psychological/ behavioral profiling or Criminal Investigative Analysis, as we call it today, is the ability to "get into the mind" of the offender and "think" like him. We know that behavior is a reflection of personality and that many crime scenes reflect personality traits of that person.

Re communication focused predominately on the fact that DAVID KORESH is a psychopath (antisocial personality disorder), who is likely to manipulate and control others, will make decisions which are in his best interest and try to minimize his losses.

This assessment of KORESH depicts only a part of his possible mental disorders. It should not be overlooked that he is a religious fanatic with delusions of being JESUS CHRIST, and that he and his followers will die as a result of being attacked by his enemies.

TO DAVID KORESH and his followers, Mt. Carmel is not only their home, but is symbolic of their belief. Since we believe DAVID KORESH knew that ATF was going to "attack" his compound, he had the option of surrendering or firing only warning shots. However, he chose to ambush the agents, as they entered the compound. He may have authorized this action to set into motion a chain of events which will verify, to his followers, that his interpretation of the scriptures, in particular, the seven seals discussed in Rev. 5:1 correct; that the end is near.

8:1, is

TO DAVID KORESH and his followers, Mt. Carmel is the equivalent of cathedral to Catholics, a synagogue to Jews, a mosque to Muslims, etc. In that vein, it should be anticipated
