flood of negative publicity
shrouding the campus’ animal
research facilities, but denied
he and NIH representatives cre
ated a public relations ploy.
“With the NIH site visit re
port, there was certainly not
any assumptions before they
ramp as to what their conclu
sions might be,” Moseley said.
However, Moseley explained
that NIH and OPRR representa
tives told him they did not see
any violations of NIH or Public
Health Service (PHS) guide
lines based on materials the
two organizations had received
from the University, PETA and
other agencies.
“What that (letter) says is
that we have discussed the situ
ation, and they concluded on
June 2 that there was no reason
to continue an investigation,”
Moseley said.
“We don’t do whitewashes. I
mean if there had been various
problems we would have re
ported them to the OPRR,” said
Dr. Luis Sibal, who headed the
NIH site inspection team. The
OPRR is the policy-enforcing
arm of the NIH.
Sibal said he did not discuss
anything with Moseley before
June, 1988, but said he did talk
with Moseley a few days before
the site visit.
“No members of our office
made any preliminary conclu
sions," Sibal said.
“1 don't know what prompt
ed Moseley to write that letter,
it was nothing this office said
or did," Sibal added.
Dr. Alan Sandler of the OPRR
said he and Moseley first con
ferred shortly after the Animal
Liberation Front (ALF) raid of
the University’s animal re
search facilities in October
1986, and have had further dis
cussions since.
“I had been in touch with
(Moseley) shortly after the
break-in. In the course of dis
cussion with Dr. Moseley ... 1
advised him at the time that
there was nothing amiss on our
records that seemed to suggest
any problems at the University.
"If (Moseley) then decided to
include that in a letter to his
senator to the effect that we
didn't intend to look at any
thing. I suppose that's his read
ing of it,” Sandler said.
In another instance, Sandler
said he discussed with Moseley
allegations made by PET A in
its April newsletter, Peta News.
The newsletter chronicled the
hearing of Roger Troen, the
sole suspect convicted for the
ALF raid.

"I called (Moseley) about the
information in the newsletter
and asked him if there were
any changes or problems in his
program that we ought to know
about .... (Moseley) said as far
as he could tell, what we had
in our documentation was con
sistent with the way they’re
(University) running their oper
ation. And that was good
enough for me," Sandler said.
The following is a verbatim
copy of John Moseley’s letter to
Sen. Mark Hatfield.
Senator Hatfield
475 Cottage Street N.E.
Salem, Or. 97301
Dear Senator Hatfield:
This in response to your re
quest for information regarding
the letter you received from
(blacked out). This letter, as
well as many others which we
have received, and which have
been received by other congres
sional representatives, was
stimulated by an article in the
PETA Newsletter in April. I en
close for your Information a
copy of the letter that 1 sent to
(blacked out). I can assure you
that the facts as stated in the
materials which I sent her are
correct. 1 would like to provide
you here with additional infor
mation not included in that re
sponse.
First, what PET A refers to as
a "trial" was in fact a pretrial
hearing, in which the defen
dant Mr. Roger Trorm attempt
ed to establish the right to pres
ent a defense based on his as
sertion that it was necessary to
break the law (the burglary of
the University of Oregon) in or
der to prevent a greater evil
(the misuse of animals in re
search). Under appropriate cir
cumstances, this defense is al
lowable under Oregon law. An
important aspect of such a pre
trial hearing is that the defen
dant is allowed to "make his
case" without any rebuttal tes
timony from the prosecution.
