7. Why did the Library of Congress reaffirm on February 16, 1982 without explanation its withdrawal of recognition of EELC while the ELC suit continues to be pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia? 8. What are the anticipated costs of appropriated funds or otherwise to the U.S. Government which will result from litigating the withdrawal of official recognition from the EELC in the U.S.. District Court for the District of Columbia? 9. Did the payment of $35,000 of taxpayers' money by the Library to the attorney in the Renata V.. Shaw case constitute a proper expenditure of public funds or was it a waste of money in view of the fact that Mrs.. Shaw was awarded the position by the Federal Court? 10. What is the background on the Cook Black Employees of the Library of Congress (BEL) class action suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on February 10, 19827 | 11. What is the background in the Tommy Shaw class action suit which has been certified by the U.S.. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission? 12. What are the anticipated costs to the U.S. Government and Taxpayers resulting from these class action suits? 13. Does the Library administration believe that spending over $200,000 of taxpayers' money to crush two employee rights organizations was money well spent? If yes, give reason or reasons. 14. The Library's stipulations in the Cook and Perry case state that the Library's own expert witnesses, Falic, Bohmer, and Nemec "have been called 'Doctor''in the past, and have so called themselves in the past, but have not done so for some time based on their currently held beliefs that such appellation is not truly or properly representative and that they have at various times used the designation LL.D.' to represent the Doctor Juris degree which they hold. They no longer do so since it has been pointed out to them variously that such a designation is incorrect." ... 15,. Since the Library's own stipulations in the Cook and Perry case concede that based on its own expert witnesses that the degrees which they hold and the degree which Paul L. Horecky claims to hold are not truly and properly representative of a doctorate how then can the Library continue to maintain that Cook and Perry are false and malicious? 16. Has the Library provided false information to the U.S. Court of Claims and other Courts in an attempt to either discredit Cook and Perry or to maintain its charges against Cook and Ferry? 17. Is the Library claiming Cook and Perry to be false and malicious beyond what it can prove based on its own stipulations? Vigorous oversight into the Library's handling of the Trust Funds remains necessary. This is true because the We had testified on the problem of the handling of the Report Number FGMSD-80-76. This is two years after we had See also on this matter the Cook and Perry letter to the Comptroller General of the United States of December 17, 1981 in which we requested a GAO investigation. Evidence exists that poor planning and management existed in the construction and furnishing of the James Madison Memorial Building as confirmed by the U.S.. General Accounting Office Report of September 17, 1979 entitled "The Library of Congress New Madison Building: Reasons For, And Effects of, Delays And Escalating Costs", Report Number LCD-79-330A. We are interested in the renovations of the Thomas Jefferson Finally, we wish to remind the Committee that when we appeared before you last year (March,. 1981) we requested permission to make a study of the Library budget and disbursements. This request never moved one way or the other from either institution, the Library or the U.S.. Congress. We continue to be interested in conducting such a study References: 1.
