Update to Letter to Congress

July 19, 2007

Update on Delivery of Letters to Congress:

All members of the Senate Judiciary Committee received the letters no later than June 27, 2007, and all signed cards have been acknowledged as being delivered to the appropriate party.
Although all members of the House Judiciary Committee received the letters no later than June 27, 2007, the only member to sign and return the certified card has been The Honorable Steve Cohen.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, EOUST Director Clifford White, OGE Director, Robert I. Cusick, and Inspector General of The DOJ, Glenn A. Fine received the letters no later than June 27, 2007 and have signed the certified cards acknowledging receipt. The only acknowledgment we await is FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III.

In the spirit of full disclosure, the following was taken directly from Senator Joe Biden’s website and is indicative of similar statements made on other websites of members of Congress.

“Please note that due to heightened security in the U.S. Capitol, mail service to my Washington, D.C. Senate office has been significantly delayed. If you have any correspondence that is time sensitive, please use alternatives such as email, phone, or fax.”

In that regard on July 15th and July 16th, we contacted the members of the Senate, and the Directors of the Governmental Agencies, via e-mail and/or facsimile.
