Mr. Schulman, The media will do as they please regardless of what I have done. They do not like Congressman Kucinich and want to hurt him politically. I did better than filing of the document. The first words out of my mouth on the record in front of a courtroom that had reporters from CNN, AP, AFP, LA Times, Washington Post, VOA and Hurra TV, is to state that I was mistaken and that Congressman Kucinich and Mr. Soueid were not on the same delegation. I made it categorically clear that there is no association between the two. The same AP reporter, Matthew Barakat, who carried the story was in the courtroom and heard what I said. Yet, no one decided to carry the correction. There was no intent by me to cause Congressman Kucinich any embarrassment or negative coverage. As I told you before, I am a fan and respect the courage he has demonstrated throughout his career on many issues. I was mistaken in my information. I have endeavored to correct that mistake. I am attaching my motion. I recommend you pull the audio from the hearing as well. From: Schulman, Howard [mailto:Howard.Schulman@mail.house.gov] Dear Mr. Faraj: I called and left a message for you on Tuesday, but I have not yet heard back from you. I was calling to answer the question you posed to me in our conversation last week, i.e., “What can we do to clear things up?” At that time, you informed me that you were going to file a document with the court that would correct the official record and you were going to send a copy of that document to me. I have not yet received that either. You may not be aware of the extent of the negative media coverage that your incorrect courtroom “proffer” two weeks ago caused Congressman Kucinich. I have attached an example. Feel free to call me today (any time before 4pm) if you would like to discuss this matter further. Sincerely, Howard Schulman Senior Counsel Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich 202-226-8143 |
