BARNES, Senior Circuit Judge:
I. FACTS
In about December, 1975, Hugo Riggi was approached by an acquaintance, Armando Rios, who asked if Riggi was interested in buying cocaine. Riggi reported the incident to the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) and subsequently agreed to become a paid informant. Pursuant to instructions from the DEA, Riggi contacted Rios to discuss the purchase of four to five pounds of cocaine. Several discussions were held, many of which were recorded. 1 A sample was passed. But, ultimately, Rios informed Riggi that he would be unable to proceed with the deal.
