Having returned from South Dakota the pair tried to recruit Dennis Mahon of Tulsa, the Oklahoma organizer for the White Aryan Resistance (WAR) into their scheme. Tapes of the conversation recorded by Schrum have Lampley telling Mahon "We're going to need you to help support the underground. We have a situation developing where we're going to have to help the underground actually begin to make some strikes. We're thinking about getting rid of some ADL (Anti-Defamation League) people. " Mahon refused to participate holding that Lampley could not be taken seriously and had seemed "to have a problem with reality…just go[ne] nuts over the Bible."
