APPROVED FOR RELEASED
DATE: 18-Aug-2010
I understand that you are currently serving as the Acting Chief for Litigation for the Agency
and was either responsible for, or played a part in, the decision addressed below, which has
prompted us to submit this inquiry.
My law partner Roy W. Krieger and I were scheduled to meet a client at Agency
Headquarters on 15 September 2004, for a luncheon meeting. Our intent was to have lunch in the
Agency cafeteria prior to our meeting with the Office of Inspector General. Customarily we also
pay a visit to the Agency gift shop.
However, I was informed by both the OIG office and our security representative from OGC
that we were not authorized to be in the building except if officially escorted by someone other
than our client, who of course has fall authorization to be in the building and bring in guests.
This is a significant change in prior policy and it concerns us greatly as it further inhibits our
ability to adequately represent the interests of our clients. Obviously, several questions come to
mind.
First, is this an official change in policy and, if so, when was it implemented? May we review
the policy document? Second, if an official policy, to whom does it apply? Does it apply simply
to Mr_ Krieger and myself, all outside counsel or all potential guests of authorized personnel?
The promptness of a reply would be appreciated.
