Letter to U.S. Secret Service -- May 28, 1996

I wrote the following letter out of desperation.  The George Washington University Medical Center was about to terminate my psychiatric treatment in late June 1996, and had taken no steps to seek alternative psychiatric care for me.  The D.C. Commission of Mental Health Services had refused me as a patient.

Washington Field Office

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

The enclosed letters are forwarded for the information of the U.S. Secret Service:

1. Letter dated May 27, 1996 to the D.C. Community Mental Health Center

2. Letter dated May 28, 1996 to the D.C. Commission of Mental Health Services

Again, I remind the U.S. Secret Service that the D.C. Corporation Counsel has found that the fears of a senior Akin Gump supervisor and legal assistant that I might kill--and kill brutally--are genuine and not the product of a hostile work environment.

In the view of the D.C. Corporation Counsel (the highest legal authority of the District) Akin Gump is talking real bullets, real guns--and, by necessary implication, real blood, real guts, and real brain tissue.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
