As I have indicated to you in my letters of October 17, October 30, and November 3, I would be happy to enter into an agreement with you to stipulate the authenticity and/or scope of the record to be considered by the Committee at its forthcoming proceedings with regard to your client, Representative John W. Jenrette. However, I must insist upon an extremely prompt response to my proposals or we will be required to proceed without such an agreement. Despite my serious misgivings concerning the relevance of any portions of the trial record other than those set forth in my proposed designations of record in my letter to you of November 3, I offered to recommend to the Committee that additional portions of the criminal trial be made part of the official Committee record, "so long as you provide me with legible copies of such materials by no later than noon, Tuesday, November 11." I received no response from you regarding that proposal. Nevertheless, your associate, Mr. Hart, yesterday informed us orally that there might be unspecified additional parts of the criminal trial record which you would wish to introduce, and he also indicated that there were aspects of the proposed stipulation which we had sent you which you would wish to have revised. In spite of the fact that the November 11 deadline had passed, as a further accommodation to you and your client, we proposed 441 November 14, 1980 yesterday a compromise version of the stipulation and presented it to you at the meeting we held with you yesterday at the courthouse. Enclosed is another copy of that new draft stipulation. You stated you would respond to our new proposal by the end of the day yesterday. We have not received such a response. In view of the fact that the Committee has scheduled a Committee hearing for November 20, 1980, at 10 AM, and that we will be printing portions of the record prior to that hearing, I cannot continue to agree to numerous extensions of the deadlines for your counter-designation of portions of the record. Accordingly, the final deadlines with regard to designation of the record are as follows: If you wish to enter into a stipulation along the lines we have discussed, I must receive your signed copy of the stipulation no later than 10 AM Monday, November 17, 1980. In addition, if you wish me to recommend to the Committee that additional materials be made part of the official Committee record, beyond those set forth in my letters of October 17 and November 3, I must receive legible copies of such materials by no later than 10 AM Monday, November 17, 1980. If I have not received Such materials by that time, it will not be possible even to consider having them printed as part of the printed record for the preliminary inquiry, and I will reserve my right to oppose having them included in the unprinted portion of the record, as well. As I have repeatedly indicated, we wish to give Representative Jenrette the opportunity to have placed in the record any relevant portions of the criminal trial record. We have tried to accommodate you by offering on several occasions to add any portions of the trial record that you deem relevant, even if we disagree. Nevertheless, your continued failure to respond to our letters and proposals will make it impossible to enter into such a stipulated record, Sincerely yours, &Bautt Putty | E.
