	Ex-Customs Officer Admits Faking Memo For TV Report
		Customs employees were solicited by internal affairs to anyone that knew any information about the memo which was aired on "60 Minutes" back in April 1997.
		I came forward to offer what I knew about the "memo" and other information to Customs internal affairs agents as a last ditch effort to expose the truth about what I thought was further evidence of corruption, as I knew it, and through my associations with Mike Horner who was a whistle-blower at that time.
		My experience in the past has been very negative and that Customs is only out to do damage control and to "silence" anyone that really does their jobs in trying to investigate real major narcotics smuggling organizations or corruption within the agency.
