RE: Weapons Possession - Intent to Inflict Grievous Bodily Harm/Possible Intent to Commit Murder - D.C. Corporation Counsel Affirmation - Possible Concealment of State and/or Federal Weapons Law Violations

Dear Professor Buerganthal:

The District of Columbia Office of Corporation Counsel (Charles F.C. Ruff, Esq.) has affirmed the determination of my former employer, the Washington, DC office of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, that I might have been armed and homicidal during my tenure, which ended October 29, 1991. Mr. Ruff currently serves as chief White House Counsel to President Clinton.

I have been keeping federal law enforcement authorities apprised of all material facts pertinent to this homicide risk determination.
I have been under investigation by the U.S. Secret Service as a potential security risk to President William J. Clinton, and was interrogated at the Washington Field Office as recently as February 1996 by Special Agent Philip C. Leadroot. Questioning by Mr. Leadroot centered on the issue of presidential assassination.

I was awarded the degree of Master of Laws by The American University Law School in December 1984. My attendance at American University, from August 1983 until December 1984, coincided with your tenure as dean of the law school. I request that you disclose to federal law enforcement authorities any information concerning me of which you may have come to be apprised via any source, including any information that may have been communicated to you by current American University Law School Dean Claudio Grossman, who served as Director of the International Legal Studies Program during my attendance.

You may review this matter with Philip C. Leadroot, S.A., U.S. Secret Service, (202) 435 5100, or David M. Bowie, FBI Supervisory Special Agent (Washington Metropolitan Area Field Office) (202) 252 7801.

The enclosed documents will serve as background information to the matters raised in this letter.

I know that your personal experience with the Nazi regime will make you especially sensitive to the concerns of Akin Gump management with respect to the issues of heinous brutality, violence, and the murder of innocents.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
