MEMO
TO: Judge Alex Kozinski
FROM: Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
Counselor at Law
DATE: September 3, 1996
SUBJECT: Performance Management and Recognition System ("PMRS")
I thought I would drop you a brief note to explain all the
commotion concerning the PMRS.
We know a political prisoner who is prepared to testify that the
PMRS is a poor disguise for a very ugly political kick-back
scheme. This witness will testify that the President of the
United States is, evidently, getting $35,000 for each indictment
which the "Internal Revenue Service" obtains from federal grand
juries against "illegal tax protestors." These "performance
recognition awards" are being paid out under color of the
Internal Revenue Manual ("IRM").
You will note that the Internal Revenue Manual ("IRM") has no
authority in law whatsoever. See Lurhing v. Glotzbach, 304 F.2d
360 (4th Cir. 1962); Einhorn v. DeWitt, 618 F.2d 347 (5th Cir.
1980); and United States v. Goldstein, 342 F.Supp. 661 (E.D.N.Y.
1972); Boulez v. C.I.R., 810 F.2d 209 (D.C. Cir. 1987); United
States v. Will, 671 F.2d 963, 967 (6th Cir. 1982).
Judge Kozinski, this is jury tampering, obstruction of justice,
and treason. I won't stand for it. Will you?
Sincerely yours,
Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.

Dear Mr. Mitchell:
This is in response to your July 26, 1996, Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request for all financial records of the
Performance Management and Recognition System (PMRS). Your
request was forwarded to us by the Office of Disclosure Services,
Department of the Treasury, so that we can respond to you
directly. We apologize for the delay in responding.
Unfortunately, your request is not specific enough to allow
us to conduct a search for the records that are of interest to
you. For example, you have not stated the years for which you
are interested in obtaining records. Please be advised that the
PMRS has not existed for the last 3 years. In addition, it is
our understanding that awards made under PMRS took the form of <--!!!
cash payments or quality step in-grade promotions. Therefore, <--!!!
the types of financial records associated with awards made under
PMRS did not include the kinds of records mentioned in your
request. It would be helpful if you could be more specific in
describing the desired records.
Accordingly, you may wish to reformulate your request to
assist us in finding the responsive material. If you decide to
do so, your perfected request will receive our close attention.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Mark L. Zolton
Tax Law Specialist
FOIA Branch

Subject: FOIA for PMRS Records
Your Ref. No. 96-1911
Dear Mr. Zolton:
Thank you for your letter to Me, dated September 12, 1996.
In that letter, you say that We failed to state the years for
which We are interested in obtaining records. In answer to that
point: We want records for the years 1776 Anno Domini through
and including 2020 Anno Domini. The latter year (2020) appears
on the IRS assessment records for a client of mine. Under oath,
the IRS agent who signed these records testified that this date
(2020) was not a mistake.
We are desirous of obtaining any and all financial records
associated with the PMRS, including but not limited to the names
of all persons who received any kind of "recognition" from this
system, e.g. the President as mentioned in the Internal Revenue
Manual page in question, employees of the federal government, and
all others, without exception. We presume the IRM reference is
to the President of the United States. Your records should
confirm whether or not any Presidents of the United States have
received any "recognition" from this system, how much, when, and
which ones. See Article II, Section 1, Clause 7.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.

Special Assistant
Assistant Chief Counsel

Department of the Treasury
"Internal Revenue Service"
Washington, D.C.
Subject: FOIA for PMRS records Control Number: 249346-96
Dear Mr. Ryan:
Thank you for your letter to me, dated October 24, 1996.
As you can see from my original FOIA request, dated July 26,
1996, (copy attached), I requested certified copies of the PMRS
records. My FOIA appeal was based, in part, on your
organization's failure to provide certified copies, so as to
render them admissible in a court of law, if necessary.
Secondly, Mr. Mark L. Zolton, Tax Law Specialist in the FOIA
Branch, wrote to me on September 12, 1996, explaining that my
original FOIA request was not specific enough to allow you to
conduct a search for the records that are of interest to me. A
transcription of his letter is attached, for your information.
Evidently, Mr. Zolton needed specific years for which I was
interested in obtaining records. I timely responded to Mr.
Zolton in writing on September 19, 1996 (see attached).
Thirdly, Mr. Zolton's letter contained an amazing admission that
awards made under PMRS took the form of cash payments or quality
step in-grade promotions. If there are no records of said cash
payments, this raises the ugly specter of widespread federal
income tax evasion by recipients of these cash payments,
including possibly the President. The American People have a
right to know who received these cash payments, when, and how
much. The FOIA imposes no requirement upon me to demonstrate
relevance or materiality of these records, however.
Therefore, I am entirely unsatisfied with the response(s) of your
organization to date, and demand that you refrain from closing
your administrative appeal file in this matter.
Finally, please be advised that I do not accept U.S. mail from
the federal government, or from any of its agencies, assigns,
colorable trusts, or instrumentalities, with two-letter federal
abbreviations (e.g. "AZ") or with unqualified ZIP codes. Since
you may not have known this, I have made an exception solely for
the purpose of explaining my position and future intent to you.
This is to inform you that I will refuse any such mail from you
in the future, unless it is directed to the correct mailing
location shown above. Please see USPS Publication #221 for
details.
Thank you very much for your consideration. I will look forward
to your continued cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
