House Oversight Committee - Product 66226-1-DVD- Waco Investigation Day 1 Part 1 - House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. Subcommittee on National Security, International Affairs, and Criminal Justice.  The joint subcommittees are investigating the failed February 28, 1993 Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in which four ATF agents were killed. Also under investigation is the April 19 FBI raid on the compound with tanks and tear gas and the resultant fire in which 80 cult members died, including their leader David Koresh. Following opening statements by subcommittee members and a CNN video clip of the April 19 fire at the compound, two authors whose books severely criticized the ATF and the Treasury Department actions in the raids testified. Democrats complained that Republican subcommittee members used the National Rifle Association to help them prepare for the hearings. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only. For more information see
