Deer Linda,

I have never received payment for my February 19 and March 5, 1994, invoices."- On two separate occasions Amy Wallace confirmed to me that these payments._ were going to made. The total Still due i1 $1006.00.

-- Included in the 2/19194 invoice is a $210.00 equipet charge for the fia twonetwork cards chre to my VISA card from Gateway Computer. I submitted theshpiginvoice with my invoice to you.IUnda, you indcated you were unhappy wit the installation. You said your timewas -unn out, you wan-ted at .matd election information, you told me your

S money was exhausted. H e. I could not get accessm to the machines on many_ occasions. I have an advanced form of Q&A reporting forms for the election

commssion that I deeoe on your coptr. I was not provided anc oppo~rtunity to complete this work. I still believe this coul have beencoped

on time. Insea, I dove in to help Kerry's and your effort to complete the manualu report on time.

C>,I completed the four computer station network m the campaign office on Febur10, 1994. Only 12 business days after the January 25, 1994, receipt of the twocomputers you ordered, I upgraded the software and had a11 application softwareavailable operating at each of the stations In view of th severe weather thatforced an intermittent work schedule and the other difficulties in completing thiswork, this is a timely work completion Among the difficulties I refer to are:1 the need to replace a faulty networking card, with tne replacement arrving on

2/10/94,2. the initial cabling difficulty caused by a shorted barrel connector in the wall at

the Press station connector,3. the late shipment of two of the onginal four network cards with their arrival on

This was very sabtreatment.

time, but I called the campaign office upon my return and asked Amy if she knew'- why you called. She did not have any information for me.

I want to record in this letter some other details that needed attention when I wasS last in the campaign ofic. I offered to perform this additional work for you or your

staff can 4o these things.

I. Organization of Hardware and Software Manuals andInstallation Kits

A high priority should be placed on the organization of technical manualsfor their ready reference and their permanent retention. The new manualsand the previous manuals should combined into a single library. An out ofway, single. enclosed storage shelf would be ideal for this purpose.Commonly referenced sections of documents should be copied and sealedinto ready access binders to be maintained within easy reach of workareas.

2. To back-up the sysem and prwd in utin for regular bmdk-ups with. prrie a tqie

3 To ntwrk the computers used b the campaign.

Mark Fev was a hunteer on the MMM campaign in 1992 and said then that he was unmloe. In late1993. Mark was at a toiii meetng and again repeated that he was unemplo.-ed and was looking for any"kind of computer work

Linda August contacted Mark in late 1993 to see if he was able to do the three necssan." tasks thecampaign needed, He assured her that he had the knoledge skill and expertise to make this possible. Heiwas told that the campaign had limited resources and limited time to achieve this task. The campaign wasnot looking to hire anm full time people to do computer i ork and the campagn would only requiresen ces for a fei hours a eek He assured Linda August that he could meet the goal vithun the

guidelhnes

It became apparent earl.s on that Mark was having difficult), completing this task--either that or he

thought he could convert a parn-time short assignment into a full time job He claimed that these taskscrc simple to complete.. cet found ev'ery excuse for not completing them. He spent endless hours at the

campaign using it as his office but w-ith no positive results for the campaign The campaign officemanager expressed deep concerns ov er his abilites and became frustrated and annoyed at his excuses.

Time x~as becoming a factor as the campaign was planning to announce in the early part of February and

Unsuccessful at creating reports from our existing data basc-"struggling with FEC schedule reportformat"-he spent at least 40 hours determining that he couldn't make sense of either ou at bas or asapl of the Arsol sytm that many campaigns use. (The capag called Arsol for a sapldisk to s if that program would wuk since Mark said he waS unable to generate a reor fro o datbase. He couldn't figure out how to operate the Aristotle syte as well).

By mid-Januan- it was obviou that 3 simple tasks were costing the campaign ridiculous sims of moneyand that there was really no hope in ester getting our coptr newue and bakdu. He didpurchase exesv coptr for the campagn but he was still uniale to complte the three originaltasks, H-owo er the coptr did get nuerou error messages they had never gpaten befret.

The campaign ws getting ready to announce and still it had no back-up, no ntok no report If theFEC repors- errors cm the copue screen and a lot of frsrae and angzy campaign wokr. The FECrepor had to be copee nmmally-and cosraiy, to what he wrote i. his co lai he did not, her washe evr asked to hel coplt the FEC report In fact the campaign ssadfjust waned him out ci theoffice and out of the way,.

His wor was incompte., untimel-, inaccurate and far more exp~ensiv then the amount the= canmign wasled to believe the work would cost. H4e imrpel named the coptr. caused havoc with the campaignstaff, interfered with furniture mo'ers and telephone installers and incorrectly m ulp printers. E.vryonein the campaign gav~e Mark endless hours of tine to get his work done but each staffer came to realize thathe just was unable to get the jo done. The campaign had to pa. the telephone company twice because ofMark's mistakes

Finally. after no success, the campaign manager told Mark to leav-e -that the campaign would find helpelsewhere.

The campaign had several people tri to correct the errors that Mark created and ei en had to take thecomputers to the COMIPusa store to try and fix the errors that appeared on the screens

Needless to sa'. it was a nightmare for the campaign Mark Fei did not and apparentl. could notcomplete anx of the tasks for which he claimed would be a simple chore

Pagqe 3

The committee was kind in its dealings ,ath Mark. The campaign paid outrageous fees and WaDs patenin hoping Mark could make good on his claims. Finall.', the campaign could take no moefnanciallyand emtinal.

it is unsettling that in his complaint to yo on page 3. he would date his "initial letter" to LindaAuusIce er13. 1994. long ater the Friends ofMMM campaign was over. Hispoosl on page 4, is dated12114/94. Again, Mr. Fey's complaint appnears manfactured for purposes of filing an FEC complain

Mark was ill-suited for this job and siucehe did uou comleteotaslkad ethe three that he was hired to do. the campaign was jusifed in letting hi go. It was rn that thecampaign was being overcharged for work that was not done. Further, he should have refunded to the

GENERALU COUNSEL 5 REPO)RT "UT1V

I. X fOOCION

This report is the General Counsel's Report to recommend

that the Commission no longer pursue the identified lover

priority and stale cases under the Enforcement Priority System.

II. CASES REBCOIENDEDr FOR COS ING

- A. Cases Not Warranting Further Pursuit Relative to OtherCases Pending Before the Commission

A critical component of the Priority System is identifying

C those pending cases that do not warrant the further expenditure

O of resources. Each incoming matter is evaluated using

~Commission-approved criteria and cases that, based on their

rating, do not warrant pursuit relative to other pending cases

- are placed in this category. By closing such cases, the

~Commission is able to use its limited resources to focus on more

important cases.

C, Having evaluated incoming matters, this Office has

identified 34 cases which do not warrant further pursuit

relative to the other pending cases. 1A short description of

1. These matters are: PM 309 (Attachment 1); RAD 95L-12(Attachment 2); RUR 4118 (Attachment 3); RUE 4119 (Attachment 4);RUR 4120 (Attachment 5); RUE 4122 (Attachment 6); RUR 4123(Attachment 7); RUE 4124 (Attachment 8); RUR 4125 (Attachment 9);RUR 4126 (Attachment 10); RUR 4130 (Attachment 11); RUR 4133(Attachment 12); RUR 4134 (Attachment 13); MUR 4135(Attachment 14); RUE 4136 (Attachment 15); MUR 4137

each ease and the factors leading to assigut of a relatively

low priority and consequent recommendation not to pursue each

case is attached to this report. See Attachments 1-34. As the

Commission requested, this Office has attached the responses to

the complaints for the externally-generated matters and the

referral for the matter referred by the aeports Analysis

Division because this information vas not previously circulated

to the Commission. See Attachments 1-34.

3. Stale Cases

Investigations are severely impeded and require relatively

more resources vhen the activity and evidence are old.

Consequently, the Office of General Counsel recommends that the

Commission focus its efforts on cases involving more recent

C activity. Such efforts will also generate more impact on the

C) current electoral process and are a more efficient allocation of

, our limited resources. To this end, this Office has identified

: 11 cases that

" do not

(Footnote 1 continued from previous page)(Attac!ment 16); MUR 4138 (Attachment 17); MUR 4140(Attachment 18); MUR 4142 (Attachment 19); MUR 4143(Attachment 20); MUR 4144 (Attachment 21); MUR 4145(Attachment 22); MUR 4148 (Attachment 23); MUR 4149(Attachment 24); MUR 4153 (Attachment 25); MUR 4155(Attachment 26); MUR 4158 (Attachment 27); MUR 4163(Attachment 28); MUR 4164 (Attachment 29); MUR 4169(Attachment 30); MUR 4179 (Attachment 31); MUR 4195(Attachment 32); MUR 4196 (Attachment 33); and MUR 4205(Attachment 34).

V A -

-3-.warrant further investment of significant Commission resources. 2

Since the recommendation not to pursue the identified cases is

based on staleness, this Office has not prepared separate

narratives for these cases. As the Comission requested, in

matters in which the Commission has made no findings, the

responses to the complaints for the externally-generated matters

and the referrals for the internally-generated matters are

attached to the report because this information was not

previously circulated to the Commission. See Attachments 35-45.

For cases in which the Commission has already made findings and

for which each Commissioner's office has an existing file, this

Office has attached the most recent General Counsel's Report.

This Office recommends that the Commission exercise its

prosecutorial discretion and no longer pursue the cases listed

below effective October 16, 1995. Sy closing th. cases

effective October 16, 1995, CED and the Legal Review Team will

respectively have the additional time necessary for preparing

the closing letters and the case files for the public record.

2. These matters are: PM 250 (Attachment 35); PM 272(Attachment 36); MUR 3188 (Attachment 37); MUR 3554(Attachment 38); MUR 3623 (Attachment 39); MUR 3988(Attachment 40); MUR 3996 (Attachment 41); MUR 4001(Attachment 42); MUR 4007 (Attachment 43); MUR 4007(Attachment 43); MUR 4008 (Attachment 44); and MUR 4018(Attachment 45).
