MEMO TO: Governor George Bush State Capitol Austin, Texas state FROM: Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. Counselor at Law DATE: May 9, 1997 SUBJECT: West Texas situation The People of the United States of America have sued the United States (federal government) and its accomplices to restrain the use of lethal force in Jeff Davis county, and to enjoin them from depriving Citizens of Texas state of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. No sooner had this law suit been served, when Mike Matson was tragically and needlessly killed, evidently while he was attempting to defend himself against a pack of trained police dogs. As a consequence of this and other recent events in Jeff Davis county, the situation there appears to Me to be a powder keg in a microwave oven, waiting to explode at any moment. I am writing to offer My services to the People of Texas state, as a private Attorney General and Relator in the case of People v. United States et al. I would be willing to donate My professional services, provided that some arrangement can be made to cover my travel and living expenses, and security as required. I believe that probable cause now exists to petition the county court for an order to the DPS officers to show cause why they should not be charged with murder. The transcript from such a show cause hearing should then be served upon a standing, or special, state grand jury to investigate the DPS role in the death of Mike Matson. Please consider this as a serious, and bona fide offer to assist in the peaceful resolution of this frightening situation which has developed within your jurisdiction. Sincerely yours, /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S. Counselor at Law and federal witness c/o 2509 N.
