                         Before I am Arrested.

   At the risk of being considered paranoid but in the hope that this
published letter might afford me some protection, or the basis for a
legal action, I note continuing efforts to stop me from posting
information from my data base about the CIA and its covert operations.

   It is obvious that commercial installations not only in Herndon but
in other areas of Fairfax County have a police "notice" on me - the
nature of which I do not know.

   My last encounter with this occurred on Thursday, 5 October 1995 at
the Woodrow and Lothrop store at Fair Oaks Mall.  I spent about an
hour looking around, then went to the exit nearest where I had parked
my vehicle. As I approached within a few feet of the exit, the alarm
bells went off. I, fearing a trap, veered away and avoided exiting for
some time - only to be confronted in a few minutes by a tall female
who got directly in my face.  I assume had I gone through the exit at
a minimum I would have been seized and subjected to a search - if not
the planting of evidence.

   Why doesn't the CIA, (I especially suspect the CIA's lobbying
organization the Association of Former Intelligence Officers as also
having a role in this harassment), take legal action against me
rather than harassing me?  First, I challenged its early attempts to
censor CIABASE and won written approval to distribute CIABASE's public
domain information.

   Secondly, to challenge me legally would give me and CIABASE
undesirable publicity. Here the danger is real, to demonstrate that
one person using a computer can effectively challenge and expose
covert operations, raises the possibility that many others, including
foreign governments, can do the same. The best way to handle the
problem for them is to discredit me by "shoplifting" arrests or some
other means - even this letter serves to bolster claims of paranoia.

   Actions I have taken. I have written letters, inter alia, to
President Clinton, the Director of the FBI and to John Deutch, the
Director of the CIA. After about a year of letters, the FBI wrote and
denied their involvement and suggested I direct my concerns to the
CIA. The CIA also responded in about a year and denied any
involvement. Lee S. Strickland, Chief, of the Privacy and
Classification Review, answered for the CIA and said they would pursue
my FOIA request - but this if it is not assigned any priority, could
take years.

   The U.S Office of Special Counsel wrote on 6 October 1995, and its
letter states the CIA is exempted from its investigative jurisdiction.
If I did not write within 16 days it would close my file. This letter
is in part a response to that requirement - yes please advise me of
any additional rights I may have. Yes please do not close my file.

   What seems so obvious is that an investigation could take a few
hours, query the Herndon police, the mayor, the Town Council,
commercial establishments, the Fairfax Police, or any one of the
numerous persons and installations I have cited in earlier
correspondence.

   Addressees - please take appropriate action and advise me re the
above.

been shot down in the streets and his murderers remain untouched by
justice - it is not likely that we will ever have another chance.
