Jeffrey Huvelle, Esq.
Covington & Burling
Washington, DC

Dear Mr. Huvelle:

I am interested in being considered for a paralegal position with your firm.  I have substantial paralegal experience, and am licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania.  I submit a resume herewith.

I have been disabled since October 1991.  I have spent eleven of the past fourteen years writing a book, which may be of publishable quality.  You can access the book at http://signmomentsone.blogspot.com/.

I suffer from a mental disability that has been diagnosed as schizoid personality disorder and delusional disorder.  I attach information concerning my disorder and the medications I currently take.

My current treating psychologist believes that I would be able to perform the tasks required of a paralegal.

Thank you very much for considering my application.

Sincerely,


Gary Freedman

The Honorable Kenneth Wainstein
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia
U.S. Department of Justice
555 Fourth Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001

Dear Mr. Wainstein:

The full text of my autobiography titled "Significant Moments" can be accessed on the web at http://signmomentsone.blogspot.com/. The manuscript is unusual in structure, and is written entirely in the form of quotations from published material.  I spent about ten years writing the document, from the spring of 1993 to about the year 2004.

From June 1988 to October 1991 I was employed at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, two of whose executive managers are Robert S. Strauss, Esq. and Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Esq.  Dennis M. Race, Esq. of Akin Gump designated himself the contact person regarding questions about my employment (202 887 4028).

From 1992 to 1996 I was an outpatient at the Department of Psychiatry of the George Washington University Medical Center Department of Psychiatry, which at that time was chaired by Jerry M. Wiener, M.D. (now deceased).  Dr. Wiener served in 1994-1995 as President of the American Psychiatric Association.  He had earlier served as President of the American Psychoanalytic Association.  Coincidentally, Dr. Wiener was Jewish and a native of Texas, like Robert S. Strauss (who serves as
a trustee of GW's Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine).  Robert S. Strauss has an interest in biomedical issues and endowed a chair in neurology at the University of Texas Medical School.  Both Mr.
Strauss and Dr. Wiener were graduates of the University of Texas.

I believe (without proof) that senior Akin Gump managers surreptitiously (and unlawfully) obtained draft versions of my autobiography which I submitted to my psychiatrists at GW.  I further believe that Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Esq. transmitted the draft versions to his close friend and confidant, former President William Jefferson Clinton or Hillary Rodham Clinton.  If you recall, in the mid-1990s, Mrs. Clinton chaired an ill-fated national health care reform initiative that considered benefits for mental health treatment.

I understand that the willful fabrication of delusional symptoms to bolster a Social Security disability mental health claim would constitute a prosecutable act of criminal fraud.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

Dear Sir:

This will advise the U.S. Secret Service that I have been the victim of an ongoing fraud and racketeering conspiracy run by attorney managers of the Washington, DC law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld: a criminal enterprise that has involved The George Washington University Medical Center Medical Faculty Associates, The District of Columbia Public Library  (Richard Jackson, Interim Director), as well as several high-level federal officials including former President William Jefferson Clinton, former Treasury
Secretary Robert E. Rubin, and former Treasury General Counsel, Edward S. Knight, Esq.

The Government of the District of Columbia (Office of The Corporation Counsel) determined (in 1997) that I formed a genuine and good-faith belief  (though unsupported by fact) that in January 1990 members of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld (a class of persons that included Edward S. Knight, Esq.) gained unlawful entry to my apartment (at the above address), and that the unlawful entry was made with the knowledge and consent of the firm's management committee (a class of persons that includes Robert S. Strauss, Esq. and Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Esq.).  Freedman v. D.C. Dept. of Human Rights, 96-CV-961 (DCCA, Sept. 1998), Brief of Appellee District of Columbia at 9.  The firm did not dispute the District's determination or its legal or factual relevance.

Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Esq. is a close personal friend of former President Clinton's.

Secret Service Special Agent Philip C. Leadroot (now retired) is familiar with this matter.

Enclosed is a collection of pertinent documents.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
