Re: Hearing, “President Clinton’s Eleventh Hour Pardons”

Dear Senator Specter:

As you know, Judicial Watch is a non-profit, public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption. We understand that the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary will hold hearings on Wednesday, February 7, 2001 concerning “President Clinton’s Eleventh Hour Pardons.” Judicial Watch respectfully requests that its Chairman and General Counsel, Larry Klayman, be called as a witness to provide testimony to the Committee on the Judiciary concerning these matters.

Through its investigations and litigation over the past seven years, Judicial Watch has developed considerable expertise in the Clinton-Gore Administration’s practice of trading favors for political campaign contributions. We are confident the Mr. Klayman’s expert testimony will contribute to the Committee’s understanding of the history and nature of presidential pardons, as well as the impact of the former president’s actions on American jurisprudence.

Please call Mr. Klayman as a witness before the Committee’s hearing on February 7, 2001.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Christopher J. Farrell
