his rights, hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waives prosecution by Indictment and
consents that the proceeding may be by Information instead of by Indictment.

with these offenses unless the Grand Jury found probable cause to believe he committed the
offenses and returned an Indictment; (b) the Grand Jury is composed of at least sixteen, but not
more than twenty-three lay persons, and at least twelve of those grand jurors must find probable
cause to believe that the defendant committed these offenses before an Indictment could be
retumed; and (c) by waiving Indictment, the Government will be proceeding by a document
written by the United States Attorney and called an Information and the defendant will be
prosecuted on that Information, rather than on an Indictment.
