So you said you were writing down the number of guns that
Mr. Patino bought, Mr. Steward had bought, and Mr. Moore had bought. Do you remember at this point how many guns had been purchased total? A Q A Q to say? A Q A Q A That's quite a few. Okay. Yes. What happened next? What was the discussion that ensued? That's fair. 685-ish. 685. Something like that. Okay. This seems like a fairly high number, is that fair
From my notes, I asked Mr. Chait and Mr. McMahon, I said, I said, what's your plan? And I said, hearing
none -- and I don't know if they had one -- I said, well, you know, there are some things that we can do. Ray Rowley, who was the southwest
border czar at the time, asked, how long are you going to let this go on? BY MR. CASTOR: Q A retired. So I said, well, here are some things that, you know, we might think of doing. And we had talked about this before, we'd brainstormed Lorren even talked about it. Kevin talked This is in January 2010? January 5th, that meeting, that's correct. Ray has since

about it.
in south Florida -- about identifying some weak straw purchasers, let's see who the weak links are, maybe the super young ones, the super old ones. Pole cameras, you know, put them up to see who is coming and The aerial surveillance, the
things I would do is think about putting trackers, to help me keep track of where they're going. And I said, as far as going into Mexico, I said, have we thought about putting trackers on them and let them -- follow them into Mexico? Dan Kumor said, the Ambassador would never go for that. fine. I said, okay,
I said, I'm not going to pursue that anymore, assuming that. Had we thought about putting trackers on them and following them
down to see where they're going across, to see where they go, who they're in contact with, and where they cross the border, we might find out something new and then, you know, interdict. And I wasn't asking for one. out. Q A You said this to who again, Mr. Chait? Mr. Chait, Mr. McMahon, Mr. Kumor. My boss was there, Jim And I got no response.
McDermond, who agreed with me because we talked probably daily. Q Did any of those folks step up at that time and say, "Oh, We've got another great plan in place"? No. They were silent?
Mr. Davis.

Yes.
I mean, they
I don't know.
BY MR. CASTOR: Q Do you remember if they were nodding their head, giving you
any nonverbal cues that, you know, this sounds like a bright idea that you're suggesting? A Q A Not that I recall, no. Or was it just like a blank look on their face? Just listening. Did you mention Hoover? He was not. The tracker was a big thing because, you know, Was he there, as well?
So that continued.
we had talked about trackers before, maybe a month prior, when I found out -- because, to me, that would be a common thing to do, try to put some trackers on stuff, especially if you have .50-cals going. And I was trying to work with Kevin O'Keefe, and Kevin O'Keefe was trying to work with the ASACs through a side channel to try to get them to contact the people that we could get the trackers from to put on. Somewhere during the meeting, Mr. Chait said that he had to go to another meeting, and he left. Mr. McMahon said that he had to go And then it
check some emails in a classified system, and he left. was just the rest of us talking. BY MR. DAVIS: Q

me, you have five or six cartels. the major one's Sinaloa.
And
And that seems to be the one that we're So let's look at the
strategy, how we would do investigations, attack the southwest border with the Sinaloa cartel. So I tasked Ray Rowley, who is in the field ops chain, and Kevin to sit down and come up with some kind of strategy -- and Lorren also -- to how we could get with DEA, identify the structures of the DTO, Sinaloa cartel, who is the head and who the flow chart is so we could see who's who instead of when a gun pops up or a straw purchaser tells us about something, we don't know anything. ATF doesn't. don't. DEA may, because they have the information but we The other task was, how can we -- rather
than just prosecute one straw purchaser over time, how can we take information, how can we stretch it to use firearms to get into the DTOs to find connections in Mexico? Q A Okay. And that was me as an OSII trying to do that for a field ops. It was something that I could look and say, Now it took So that was the whole purpose.
from -- that started, I think, in November, October, November, December of '09 -- I don't remember exactly -- and didn't get published until I think September of '10. Q A What do you mean, published? It didn't get put out. It wasn't a final product. So I do
