After the filing of the district court opinion, the government delivered to the defendants the notes requested at the suppression hearing. The only items which the government has withheld are the surveillance logs.

The district court shall exercise sound judicial discretion in determining whether portions of the surveillance logs should be excised before release to the defendants.
The order of suppression is vacated and the proceedings remanded to the district court.
