Declaration of Wanda Kaczynski, Ted Kaczynski's mother

U.S. District Court, Eastern District, Sacramento

I, Wanda Kaczynski, hereby declare the following:

(1) I am a resident of the state of New York and live in Scotia, New York;

(2) I am the mother of Theodore John Kacyznski (Ted), the defendant in the above captioned case;

(3) In March 1996, I was interviewed by FBI agents regarding Ted;

(4) I have reviewed various paragraphs in the affidavit in support of the search warrant for Ted's cabin as well as a seven page Federal Bureau of Investigation report of the interview of me on March 23, 1996;

(5) After I gave the agents letters from Ted and my canceled checks (pursuant to a subpoena served on me), I told the agents that there was a footlocker in my home that Ted had used for college and had left at my home;

(6) I told the agents that this was Ted's footlocker and the contents of it were his;

(7) I opened the footlocker because I believed that the subpoena required me to provide whatever was requested by the agents and they requested to look in the footlocker;

(8) Paragraph 109 of the affidavit states that I provided a copy of an essay written by Ted;

(9) I am not aware that I provided a copy of the essay referred to in paragraph 109, but only that pursuant to the subpoena to provide anything written by Ted, I opened a footlocker that belonged to Ted and I removed some of its contents and provided them to the agents;

(10) Paragraph 195 is misleading where it states that I noted Ted fit the description of the "Unabomber" and that I believed he must be stopped;

(11) I did not say that the description of the "Unabomber" fit Ted, but only that he lived alone and was against technology;

(12) I told the agents that I did not think that Ted was the "Unabomber" because he hated to travel, he did not like being around people or noise, he did not have a lot of money~and he had never been violent;

(13) I did not focus on Ted saying that he should be stopped, but agreed that if he or anyone else was the "Unabomber" of course they should be stopped;

(14) I told the agents that I sent Ted $7,032 in July 1991 to pay for medical expenses and that he sent me an itemized listing of the medical expenses.

I declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 27 day of February, 1997.
