New GATA Offensive Starts Today, Monday May 15, 2000egroups.com From: GATAComm Date: Mon May 15, 2000 Subject: New GATA offensive starts in the morning By Bill Murphy, Chairman Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Many battles have been won..... On Monday May 15 GATA's open letter to the U.S. Senate and House banking committee members will appear in Roll Call, the most widely read newspaper of the Washington political elite. ... the Senate and House banking committee members are mentioned in our open letter by name and state. Our delegation delivered an incendiary document with specific questions they can ask the bullion bankers to find out if we are right. If they do not get some answers to those questions, and GATA is correct about a serious international banking crisis, then their political lives could be at peril. ... All Washington will know that the banking committee members have been presented with overwhelming evidence of a gold derivative problem. If they do not at least make the effort to follow up on our allegations and a crisis does develop, they will have no one to blame but themselves. You can be sure that is the message that their future political opponents will send to their constituents if nothing is done. ...a well-known reporter from one of the most respected newspapers in the world just emailed a GATA supporter to ask if I would immediately send him a copy of the ad in Roll Call. I have no clue if anything will come out of it. John Hathaway's commentary, "J P Morgan To The Rescue" ========================================== ... have already forwarded Hathaway's commentary to two banking committee staff members who have acknowledged receipt of it. Whoever wants to silence this wonderful commentary is too late. The enveloping horn is way ahead of them. ...If you like what you read in our open letter, we urge you and every American who believes in free markets to contact your congressmen about the Roll Call open letter. Just ask them to read it and consider what we have to say. Email is great, but a phone call and, even better, a fax will do the trick more effectively. That is what our allies in Washington told the GATA delegation this past week. The GATA delegation was received in Washington with more courtesy and attention than any of us believed possible. Some of the most influential men in Congress had read our biographies. We were all stunned. Tomorrow morning the essence of what our team conveyed to those same members of the United States Congress will be revealed to the Washington political world. The signatures of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee on the open letter to the banking committee members read: Bill Murphy, Chairman Chris Powell, Secretary/Treasurer Ethan B. Stroud, Attorney at law, formerly Justice Department, Treasury Department John R. Feather, Attorney at law, formerly legal staff, Federal Reserve Bank Ethan and John are two highly respected lawyers in Texas and stoutly stand behind what the GATA has to say. Now for the kicker. GATA is not a political organization. We have just as many Democratic supporters as Republicans. GATA's goal is to find out the truth about the gold market..... The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee is not about a political agenda. However, we firmly believe that it is the current Democratic administration that has buffaloed the gold price and engendered a life of financial misery for so many of us. That will become clear when the Roll Call ad is published. Patrick Kennedy has taken the gloves off to belittle the Republican opposition in an attempt to influence a few influential political races in the coming election. We are presenting only what is evident. Something is clearly rotten in the state of Denmark when it comes to the gold market and the fund-raising activities of the present U.S. administration. Johnny Chung, who was much a part of the Chinagate Scandal and who visited the White House 57 times to support Hillary and Bill Clinton's fund-raising activities, responded to GATA's allegations over the phone this past week with this comment: "That fits the pattern of the present administration." By the way..... ... Goldgate could rival Watergate. Long live the enveloping horn. -END-
