One letter from William D. Ruckelshaus to Senator James L. Buckley copied to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated May 22, 1973. Ruckelshaus informs Buckley that George Adam Bronson is a self-described inventor who claims to have developed a weapons training system that will improve a shooters accuracy. He sent a letter to the FBI and requested funding to train police and other law enforcement officers. The FBI responded that they do not provide funding to individuals. Bronson sent a brochure and manual of his system which was determined to hold no additional training then what is already done in the FBI. Bronson has since made multiple calls terminated with "Abusive and obscene remarks when he was told the FBI had made no effort to suppress his technology."
