                            Metro Security International Ltd.,

                                   Jamaica, NY, December 30, 1993.
     Anthony Pope,
     Attorney At Law,
     Newark, NJ.
       Dear Mr. Pope: On the above date between the hours of 
     approximately 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM I conducted a Specific 
     Polygraph Examination on James R. De Szigethy, regarding 
     statements he made on an affidavit, dated this date, which 
     was personally drafted by Mr. De Szigethy, regarding the 
     arrest and conviction of Mr. Joseph Occhipinti.
       The following four relevant questions were asked:
       (1) ``Are you lying about John F. Kennedy Jr. telling you 
     he was forced into testifying against Joseph Occhipinti?'' 
     Reply--No;
       (2) ``Are the statements on your affidavit regarding your 
     conversation with John F. Kennedy Jr., on or about June 11, 
     1991, lies?'' Reply--No;
       (3) ``Are you lying about statements made to you about 
     David D. Dinkens' connection to the drug cartels?'' Reply--
     No;
       (4) ``Are you lying when you say that John F. Kennedy Jr. 
     said he was also forced into appearing at the William Smith 
     trial?'' Reply--No.
       It is my expert opinion that Mr. De Szigethy was truthful.
       Please feel free to contact me if I may be of further 
     assistance to you in this matter.
           Sincerely,
                                               John J. Holder Jr.,
