Dear Mr. McGill:

I am sending along a copy of a letter dated February 12, 1998 that I received from Paul David Wellstone, U.S. Senator from Minnesota. The letter responds to a letter that I had sent to the Senator that related details regarding concerns that I had been determined to be armed and homicidal.

Senator Wellstone's letter is cordial and sympathetic. It is also interesting to note that he says that he welcomes further communication from me, despite the fact that he is not my representative in Congress.

What I am curious about is the fact that of all the people to whom I sent letters that referred to the possibility that I might be armed and homicidal, only one person--Lynn Schlitt at the U.S. International Trade Commission--stuck the federal police on me. You would think that I was some maniac who had put the kibosh on her.

Am I just being paranoid, or is there something suspect about Lynn Schlitt's response?

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
