Notable Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright

I used to work with the great-granddaughter (?) of the noted architect Frank Lloyd Wright at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Catherine Ingraham.

Note that this is the second disturbing letter that I copied to the U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia, Michael Stiles.  I was never contacted by law enforcement about this letter.  In August 1997, USITC General Counsel Lynn Schlitt contacted the Federal Protective Service after I sent her a nearly identical letter.

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 Ms. Ingraham:

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 am writing to you because you are related to a former coworker of mine, and may be able to provide address or telephone information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding that individual.

During the summer of 1974 I worked, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, with an individual named Catherine Ingraham (together with two coworkers named Sidney Dorfman and Hilliard Cohen) in a unit of the Science Information Services Department supervised by Dr. Bruce H. Kleinstein. Catherine Ingraham was a relative of the noted architect Frank Lloyd Wright; she was in her mid-twenties at the time, had graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in philosophy, and had a brother who was an archeologist. I know that you are a granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright, and are, therefore, in some way related to Catherine Ingraham.

There is a remote possibility that Akin Gump's attorney managers may have contacted Catherine Ingraham to obtain background information about me in connection with my employment, and that Catherine Ingraham 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 her include Earl L. Segal, Malcolm Lassman, or Laurence J. Hoffman (managing partner), among others.

I request that, if at all feasible, you provide any information relating to the whereabouts of Catherine Ingraham 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
