Subject: 10 Questions

Dear Dr. Ammons,

Two days ago I received an e-mail letter from Mr. Bourquin, in which he "recommended me to liaise with you directly should I require further details."

Owing to this fact, now I have the liberty to ask you a number of questions and I do sincerely hope you will cooperate with me:

1. Is it an accurate fact that from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000 the USA Deaf Sports Federation ( USADSF ) failed to pay its annual 2000 CISS membership dues to the CISS? Can you scan this proof and put it on the website?

2. On what date did the USADSF pay its annual 2000 CISS membership dues to the CISS? Can you scan this proof and put it on the website?

3. On what date did the USADSF pay its annual 2001 CISS membership dues to the CISS? Can you scan this proof and put it on the website?

4. On what date did the USADSF pay to the CISS its $10,000 penalty fee for withdrawing of its 2 teams ( $5,000 for men and $5,000 for women ) from the 2003 Deaf World Championship in Team Tennis held in Austria? Can you scan this proof and put it on the website?

5. On what date did the USADSF pay to the CISS its penalty fee ( sorry, I do not know the amount) for withdrawing of its team at the 2004 Deaf World Championship in Wrestling held in Bulgaria? Can you scan this proof and put it on the website?

6. On what date did Israel pay to the CISS its $12,500 penalty fee for withdrawing as a host of the 2003 Deaf World Championship in Orienteering ( $5,000 ), football team from the 2005 Deaflympics Qualification Round ( $2,500 ) and basketball team from the 2005 Deaflympics Final Round ( $5,000 )? Can you scan this proof and put it on the website?

7. What was the specific role of Mr. Jerald Jordan during the 39th Congress election session?

8. Do you agree with the statement made by the deaf online news magazine LBMAGAZIN from
Germany ( May 18, 2005, www.lbmagazin.com ) such as,

"At CISS Congress Tiffany Granfors, an Ammons bosom friend, commuted and zigzaged from table to table and looked over the shoulder of Congress delegates"?

9. You wrote in your recent letter to Mr. Bourquin, in which you said that "neither of those 3 individuals ( Mr. Roehm, Mr. Schyman and Mr. Pinchas ) represented not present at the election in Melbourne." Since Mr. Pinchas was in Melbourne, what was the reason you, through the use of the local police and security agents, prevented him as an independent observer from attending the Congress sessions?

10. Do you agree with the recent September 1, 2005 USA District Court for the District of Maryland Memorandum Decsion statement that "you, Mr. Jordan and Dr. Scoggins have conspired to prevent him ( Mr. Pinchas ) from having an active role in the international deaf sports community?"

Also, I would like to know on what date do you plan to visit the IOC office next month? I ask you this question because I would like you to provide answers to the above 10 questions before your trip to the IOC headquarters next month.

I hope to hear from you as soon as you had an opportunity to look into this matter.

Sincerely Yours,

Richard Roehm
