RE: Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Employment Inquiry - Homicide/Violence Risk

Dear Governor Thornburgh:

I am writing to assure the law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart that at the time of my employment inquiry in the year 1992, to which Paralegal/Law Clerk Coordinator Patricia A. Keller responded by letter dated October 28, 1992 (copy attached), I did not intentionally withhold any facts pertinent to my current mental illness: an apparently rare form of paranoid schizophrenia--a debilitating psychotic disorder--that causes me to become more intelligent even as the illness worsens in severity, and which cannot be detected on comprehensive psychological testing as performed by a major medical center.

As a courtesy to Kirkpatrick & Lockhart I forward (on the enclosed computer disc) two pleadings that I filed in the D.C. Court of Appeals, in a currently pending appeal, that will satisfy any questions you or the firm's partners may have concerning the risk of violence (including homicide) to which I unintentionally subjected your firm. The disc also contains a document pertinent to a criminal investigation instituted by the Federal Protective Service (Jerry McGill, S.A.), ancillary to concerns, affirmed as genuine by the Government of the District of Columbia, relating to a reported risk of violence (including homicide) that I posed at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, my former employer.

For your additional information, I enclose a collection of letters that, hopefully, will clarify this matter for Kirkpatrick & Lockhart.

Supervisory Special Agent David M. Bowie, FBI Washington Field Office, is familiar with this matter. Mr. Bowie may be reached at (202) 252 7801.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
