   RICHMOND, Oct. 29  -- Richard Cullen, United States Attorney 
for the Eastern District of Virginia, announced today that the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation has concluded its investigation 
into events surrounding the transmitting device found
in the office of the governor's chief of staff.
   Cullen has concluded that there is no basis for federal
prosecution.
   The device was discovered in the afternoon of Aug. 20 and was
reported to the FBI on the following day.
   Robert Satkowski, special agent in charge of the Richmond field
office of the FBI, stated that upon examination by the FBI, the
transmitting device had no battery, was turned off, and the antenna
was broken.  Further, the device was of a type manufactured without
any serial number or other identifying markings and was distributed
to a large number of sales outlets across the nation.  Accordingly,
it is not traceable to a particular buyer.
   The device cost between $300 and $600.
