Dream of the Four Miltons -- Stuart Schuman, Esq.

I have no idea why I copied this letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein of California.  Stuart Schuman, Esq. was the son of Milton Schuman, who owned the Art Neckwear Company at 6th and Columbia Avenue, in North Philadelphia.

My father worked at "the Art" for years as a cutter.  "The Dream of the Four Miltons" refers to Milton Schuman:

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 Mr. Schuman:

During the period March 1988 to October 1991 I was employed as a legal assistant in the Washington, DC office of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld ("Akin Gump"). Attorney managers at Akin Gump terminated my employment effective October 29, 1991 upon determining, in consultation with a psychiatrist, that a complaint of harassment I had lodged against several co-workers was attributable to a psychiatric symptom ("ideas of reference") prominent in the psychotic disorders and typically associated with a risk of violent behavior. See Freedman v. D.C. Dept. of Human Rights, D.C. Superior Court no. MPA 95-14 (final order issued June 10, 1996) (name of state court judge redacted at the implicit direction of the Justice Department). In the period immediately after my job termination senior Akin Gump managers determined that it was advisable to secure the office of my direct supervisor against a possible homicidal assault, which it was feared I might commit.

In pleadings filed in the District of Columbia Superior Court, the District of Columbia Office of Corporation Counsel (Charles F.C. Ruff, Esq.) affirmed that Akin Gump personnel had geniune concerns that I might have had plans to procure firearms for an unlawful purpose and possessed the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm or commit murder. Mr. Ruff currently serves as chief White House Counsel to President Clinton (telephone no.: 202 456 1414).

I have been under investigation by the U.S. Secret Service as a potential security risk to President
Clinton, and was interrogated at the Washington Field Office by Special Agent Philip C. Leadroot (202 435-5100) as recently as February 1996, about 16 months ago. Questioning by Mr. Leadroot centered on the issue of presidential assassination.

I believe that you are the son of the late Milton Schuman, who owned and operated the Art Neckwear Manufacturing Company in Philadelphia. My father, Jacob Freedman, now deceased, was employed as a cutter at Art Neckwear for many years. I vaguely recall my father mentioning that your parents owned a summer house in Ventor, New Jersey, and that your uncle Sherman, a native of England, worked for your father.

There is a remote possibility that Akin Gump's attorney managers have contacted you in connection with several creative pieces I have written; one such creative piece specifically refers to your father, Milton Schuman. If you did communicate with Akin Gump you may, therefore, possess information pertinent to a criminal investigation conducted by the U.S. Secret Service during the period December 1994 to February 1995 relating to the security of the President of the United States. Attorneys who may have directed inquiries to you include Earl L. Segal, Malcolm Lassman, or Laurence J. Hoffman (managing partner), among others.

I request that you disclose the content of any communications you may have had with any Akin Gump attorneys to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (David M. Bowie, Supervisory Special Agent, Washington Field Office, 202 252 7801).

Enclosed are some additional documents that provide background to the matters discussed in this letter.

Be advised: President Clinton's own lawyer, chief White House Counsel Charles F.C. Ruff, is talking real guns, real bullets, real brain tissue.


Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
