Dear Mr. Puccie:

You will recall that, following your telephone call to ne of March 28, 1994, to seek my assistance in arranging a meeting with Mr. Carey, I told you what Mr. Ruff had advised the Independent Review Board about his meeting with you, Hr. Huseney and your counsel, that is, that at that seating he had been told that. unless the IAT agreed to the trusteeship of 295 heing extended to 851, you were going to go publiu with all the materials that you Aad on RAY Honethelawn, & told you that i would talk to Juuan Webster and advise him of your call to me, and alno pasu your roquest on to the IST. Judge Hubater and I decided that we would relay your request to Mr. Rugg, and I did uu.

During our conversation, I told you that I thought you and Hr. Koroney ought to have in mind what would happen if you brought carey down in that there were "old guard" Teataro throughout the country that were hoping that Caruy would be aliminated as a candidate in 1996 00 that the clook gould be Lurned back to what it was when Ÿ first came on the scene As Independent Administrator. You indicated that you had not given any thought to that but you would kanp it in mind.

On March 31 I called you to tell you that I had conveyed to 30 спас алыб Mr. Ruff your request to must with Hr. Carvy. , 1994. Conversation I read to you the arttaim from the March 27, New York Nowaday, quoting Mr. Noxunay's commenta on Mr. Caroy and alno advised you that a reporter had calind frum ■ chivago newspaper quoting Mr. Horoňay as saying, "Caroy is a spokesman for the mob."

Later on March 31 you mailed me back to call us that you had spoken with Mr. Horoney and that he duniod the quote attributed to him by the Chicago newspaper and, as vall, the articlo in Haw York Nowaday.

I thought you should know that information about our initiul conversation was possessed by one or more third partios on March 31. On that day Mr. carberry's office received an "anonymous" call (the voice van the same as that which has conveyed numeroILA other pieces of information about Mr. Carey), stating that the speaker knew that you and I had net and that ? had enld you that I can only specuinte how our "Carey le a bun.. but he in our bum." conversation would have been disturted into a meeting and how my statement, while distorted, was known to the calles do soon sitör va spuke.

APPENDIX H - MARCH 5, 1998, LETTER TO THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW BOARD FROM SHIRAH NEIMAN

The Government respectfully submits this latter to address certain issues regarding the testimony of Jere Nash before the Independent Review Board ("IRB") next week.

At the IRB's request, the Government asked Mr. Nash to testify at the IRB hearing on charges filed against Mr. Carey and Mr. Hamilton, which Mr. Nash agreed to do. However, the Government advised the Board that it reserved the right to object to certain areas of inquiry of Mr. Nash. In light of the Government's ongoing criminal investigation into conduct related to the 1996 Carey campaign, and given the more limited nature and scope of the charges filed by the IRB against Mr. Carey and Mr. Hamilton, the Government requests that the parties be prohibited from questioning Mr. Nash on the following subject matters. First, on any matters relating to or involving requests of the Democratic National Committee, the Clinton/Gore reelection committee, Unity '96, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to raise money for the Carey campaign, and relating to any individuals affiliated with those entities. Second, on any matters relating to fundraising efforts involving employees or officers of other unions. Third, and finally, with the exception of one area outlined below, on any matters relating to the so-called "pledge program," including any efforts by the Carey campaign to raise money in 1997 in order to refund the prohibited contributions raised in 1996. Government, however, does not object to Mr. Nash being asked to testify about the fact that he made certain false statements about the pledge program in an affidavit submitted to the Election Officer on March 3, 1997.
