#9 A letter from Robert F Stolte regarding going to the prosecutor's office.

The following is a letter from F Robert Stolte of the US Embassy. He had been in contact with Wiesniakowski, the prosecutor, and was trying to get me to go to his office, something I was incredibly afraid of. The issue of the "Polish addres" is significant. Stolte implies in the letter that the youth hostel address is not my "real" address. He was more direct about this in phone conversations. My feeling is that the prosecutor wanted me to admit to a Polish address so as to minimize the responsibility of the Polish courts for holding me. That Stolte echo's this request with such authority, and that he is so blatently "with" the prosecutor, implies a relationship, that the US embassy was at the least giving their blessing to Poland's harrasment.

Subject: Adam Goodman case

Dear Mr. Goodman: We telephoned the prosecutor's office today per your request since you hadn't understood the statements that they made to the courier whom you sent to them. The clarifications are as follows:

1) You, personally, need to appear today at the prosecutor's office before 4 pm, so that he can serve you with the summons. The case is not being dropped by the prosecutor's office.

2) You have a psychiatric evaluation scheduled for tomorrow, at Nowowiejska 27, 10 am. There will be a sworn interpreter there. The siummons needs to be served first.

3) If you appear today, the next hearing at the prosecutor's office will be in approximately 2 weeks time(It turned out to be better than five) at which time you will be represented by court-appointed counsel. (None showed up)

4) If you do not appear today at the prosecutor's offices to receive the summons, the prosecutor can ask the court to suspend the proceedings and can ask for an arrest warrant from the court.

Since we have no valid phone number for you, the situation is very difficult. I tried to reach you at the Youth Hostel, but they didn't have a forwarding telephone number for you. So I left a message. It has been your choice not to provide us with a current telephone number where you can actually be reached. Therefore, I hope that you are reading your e-mail this afternoon. It is urgent that you go to the prosecutor's office today by 4 pm.

Mr. Stolte
