Dear Mr. Nollmeyer:


Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 952, the
Torture Outsourcing Prevention Act.


H.R. 952 was introduced in the House in February of 2005,
and is pending in the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global
Human Rights and International Relations. No further action has
been taken on the bill.


As you may know, the Torture Outsourcing Prevention Act
calls upon the Secretary of State to annually submit to Congress a
list of countries where there are substantial grounds for believing
that torture, cruel, or degrading treatment is commonly used in the
detention or interrogation of individuals. The measure prohibits
the transfer of persons by the United States for the purpose of
detention, interrogation, trial, or otherwise to a listed country, and
establishes conditions under which the Secretary may waive such
transfer prohibition, or a treaty-based transfer may occur.
Additionally, the bill amends the Foreign Affairs Reform
and Restructuring Act of 1998 to direct the appropriate agencies to
create regulations to implement U.S. obligations under the United
Nations (UN) Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.


Please be assured that I find torture to be a disgraceful
practice, and I echo your sentiments that the United States should
take action to stop it. I will be sure to keep your views in mind
should this legislation come to my attention in the 109th Congress.
Again, thank you for contacting me. I look forward to hearing
from you on other matters of interest or concern.


Sincerely,
Buck McKeon
Member of Congress

Memo to Sen. Domenici D-NM

Pete Domenici Dear Senator Domenici, My name is David Nollmeyer. I am writing you to discuss Homeland Security. I was born in Roswell NM in 1961. I returned to live in New Mexico around 1994-96. This time period in Lordsburg, Catron County, Las Vegas, and Carlsbad was marked by a scorched earth campaign that is still not recognized. I have filed civil federal cases that have resulted in a writ of certiorari being denied. New Mexico has several sensitive facilities. LAPD is and has been running this operation. Chief William Bratton will emerge as one of the most negligent and corrupt figures in United States history. I am writing from Bishop CA. The same patterns of delivering extortion and harassing me still exist. One novelty, all the LAPD members are Gay or Bisexual. I am a lifelong heterosexual and am being scapegoated as being the above and a drug user. I have managed to return to school and complete a 60 plus credits with a GPA of 3.8 in addition to cumulative score of 3.18. Need
