RE:

sorry but i did have to smile seeing even you guys taking heat from the times up movement. . mary poppins now being accused of prostitution. ! . I still cant figure out why, leon, after being asked by me a number of times for a possible explantion of queestions re payments to russians . ? and knowing full well that my neck was out long in trying to get very high level friends to intervene on gigi. , he chose not to tell me anything at all about the SIC. . members of that committee , have stirred up so many theories commbining my press and russia ( only as a result of gigi strategy ) ..? all avoidable. not right at all I dont need you to say anything but wanted you to know how troubling i have found this.

Thanks, Jeffrey.

Yuck!
