Time: Fri Nov 08 05:46:02 1996 To: From: Paul Andrew Mitchell [address in tool bar] Subject: Cc: Bcc: liberty lists [transcription] Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Washington, D.C. 20224 September 12, 1996 Mr. Paul A. Mitchell Person to Contact: 2509 North Campbell - #1776 M. Zolton Tucson, AZ 85719 Telephone Number: (202) 622-6250 Refer Reply to: 96-1911 Dear Mr. Mitchell: This is in reponse to your July 26, 1996, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all financial records of the Performance Management and Recognition System (PMRS). Your request was forwarded to us by the Office of Disclosure Services, Department of the Treasury, so that we can respond to you directly. We apologize for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, your request is not specific enough to allow us to conduct a search for the records that are of interest to you. For example, you have not stated the years for which you are interested in obtaining records. Please be advised that the PMRS has not existed for the last 3 years. In addition, it is our understanding that awards made under PMRS took the form of cash payments or quality step in-grade promotions. Therefore, the types of financial records associated with awards made under PMRS did not include the kinds of records mentioned in your request. It would be helpful if you could be more specific in descibing the desired records. Accordingly, you may wish to reformulate your request to assist us in finding the responsive material. If you decide to do so, your perfected request will receive our close attention. Sincerely yours, /s/ Mark L. Zolton Tax Law Specialist FOIA Branch # # # c/o 2509 N. Campbell, #1776 Tucson [zip code exempt] ARIZONA REPUBLIC September 19, 1996 Mark L. Zolton Tax Law Specialist FOIA Branch "Internal Revenue Service" Washington [zip code exempt] DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Subject: FOIA for PMRS Records Your Ref. No. 96-1911 Dear Mr. Zolton: Thank you for your letter to Me, dated September 12, 1996. In that letter, you say that We failed to state the years for which We are interested in obtaining records. In answer to that point: We want records for the years 1776 Anno Domini through and including 2020 Anno Domini. The latter year (2020) appears on the IRS assessment records for a client of mine. Under oath, the IRS agent who signed these records testified that this date (2020) was not a mistake. We are desirous of obtaining any and all financial records associated with the PMRS, including but not limited to the names of all persons who received any kind of "recognition" from this system, e.g. the President as mentioned in the Internal Revenue Manual page in question, employees of the federal government, and all others, without exception. We presume the IRM reference is to the President of the United States. Your records should confirm whether or not any Presidents of the United States have received any "recognition" from this system, how much, when, and which ones. See Article II, Section 1, Clause 7. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely yours, /s/ Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S. Citizen of Arizona state, federal witness and Counselor at Law # # #
