RE: Social Security Disability Claim No. xxx-xx-xxxx

Dear Mr. Caspari:

The enclosed legally-operative document certifies that I continue to adhere to a body of beliefs that, according to the Government of the District of Columbia, justified my former employer's (Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld) determination made in October 1991 that I was not suitable for employment because of mental illness and that justified the employer's conclusion, made in consultation with a practicing psychiatrist in violation of the American Psychiatric Association's so-called Goldwater Rule, that I was potentially violent, i.e., that I posed a "direct threat in the workplace."  See Freedman v. D.C. Department of Human Rights, D.C.C.A. no. 96-CV-961 (Memorandum Opinion and Judgment) (Sept. 1, 1998).  The employer's decision to terminate my employment effective October 29, 1991, as detailed in a sworn statement dated May 22, 1992 (executed by Dennis M. Race, Esq. and Laurence J. Hoffman, Esq.) and filed with the D.C. Department of Human Rights, was the basis of the U.S. Social Security Administration's determination that I became disabled and entitled to disability benefits effective as of the same date.

The enclosed document, styled STATEMENT OF GARY FREEDMAN CONCERNING MENTAL STATUS AFFIRMATION MADE BY THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE OF CORPORATION COUNSEL, (1) may affect my right to future disability benefits paid by the U.S. Social Security Administration and is executed under penalty of U.S. Code Title 42, Ch. 7, Subchapter II, §408; (2) may impair my right to jury duty secured by the Constitution of the United States; and (3) may impair my right to enjoy the benefits of The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), U.S. Code Title 42, Ch. 126, which statute permits an employer to deny employment to a disabled individual who poses a "direct threat in the workplace."

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
