Attorney General Reno said she had made the decision to increase pressure on the cult, and said she had advised the president of the general plan but had not filled him in on the details. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/39814-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/39814-1 Mon, 19 Apr 1993 00:00:00 GMT Former ATF agents gave firsthand accounts of the raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas in April of 1993.
