If so, how am I off-base, in your opinion? Please be more specific, can you? /s/ Paul Mitchell [This text is formatted in Courier 11, non-proportional spacing.] c/o 2509 N. Campbell, #1776 Tucson [zip code exempt] ARIZONA REPUBLIC November 5, 1996 Mr. Kenneth Starr Independent Counsel 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Suite 490-North Washington, D.C. Postal Zone <20004> Subject: IRS Kick-Backs to President from the Performance Management and Recognition System ("PMRS") Dear Mr. Starr: I have evidence in my possession which implicates President William Jefferson Clinton in the receipt of illegal IRS kick- backs from a defunct federal program called Performance Management and Recognition System ("PMRS"). As of yesterday, the Alta Vista search engine found some 20 documents on the Internet which mention this system. To obtain more information about PMRS, I have already submitted a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request to the Department of the Treasury for all financial records of the PMRS. Quite to my surprise, Mr. Mark L. Zolton wrote back to explain that some records do not exist, because the rewards were paid in cash. For your information, I have decided to become rather politically active in this matter. Enclosed please find my essay entitled "The Kick-Back Racket: Performance Management and Recognition System," which I enclose for your consideration and review. Please accept this as my firm offer to testify before a competent and qualified federal grand jury in this matter. I wish this matter to be investigated fully, and that is the main reason why I have brought it to your attention at this time. If I can assist you, or any others in your office, in the course of investigating PMRS, please contact me immediately. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely yours, /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S. Counselor at Law, federal witness and Citizen of Arizona state enclosures copy: Judge Alex Kozinski, Ninth Circuit # # # c/o 2509 N. Campbell, #1776 Tucson [zip code exempt] ARIZONA REPUBLIC November 5, 1996 Mr. Gerald R. Ryan Special Assistant Assistant Chief Counsel Disclosure Litigation 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, /s/ Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
