Text Pages \ Declaration Of Terry Lynn Nichols

Terry Lynn Nichols statement in which he states that he assisted Timothy McVeigh in the bombing of the building in Oklahoma City, and that he is aware of others who assisted in the plot.

From the outset, I want to acknowledge my poor judgment and culpability in having assisted Timothy McVeigh. I am also now prepared to identify others who played a role in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 19, 1995. My purpose in doing so is to bring closure, not only to myself but especially to the survivors and families of the victims of the bombing. Thus far I have not been very successful in doing this, however.

On September 3, 2004, for example, I wrote to then Attorney General John Ashcroft. My purpose in writing to Mr. Ashcroft was to have the others involved in the Oklahoma City bombing brought to justice. I was prepared to fully cooperate with the Department of Justice to achieve this goal. I have never receive a response to that letter from Attorney General John Ashcroft or from anyone else within the Department of Justice.
