The Brown's Offer

TO: AUSA William Morse
FROM: Edward and Elaine Brown

LET'S MAKE A DEAL

Initial Proposal

1. We will pay you the full alleged tax amount due, approximately $625,000, and the government drops all charges and legal action against us. Essentially resetting the clock back two years when this was only a civil administrative dispute. So the government would get the alleged tax deficiency and we would not be facing prison sentences or any further penalty at all. Both sides could win.

--or--

2. We will return to court on Tuesday January 16, 2007 if we are guaranteed a fair trial in writing, signed by Judge Steven McAuliffe, and entered into the record of this case, which means essentially no restrictions on our defense. All of our defense motions would be promptly answered by valid legal counter argument and then considered on the merits and ruled on fairly. All structuring charges would be dismissed. We could subpoena all our defense witnesses to appear and testify at trial on the record. We could present to the court and jury all of the evidence that we require to fully demonstrate our defense. The court must bend its rules slightly and be tolerant if we should stray across the rigid procedural lines in order to accommodate us in presenting our defense, so that we can present to the jury - without restriction -- our full story and theory of defense

If we can reach such agreement, we also would like it to be publicly disseminated so that neither side can renege on the agreement as reached, before or after signing.
