He described having a "wonderful li fe," to include interactions with "interesting people and projects." He said "it would be crazy" to take his life. He furthered, "I would not do that to myself."

He was advised he will be maintained on Psychological Observation in the near future, but his long- term housing situation will be revisited, as it is not ideal for one to remain in isolation on Psychological Observat ion for extended periods of time. Mr. EPSTEIN acknowledged this information and thanked this writer for her ex planation and time. Mr. Epistein remained on Psychological Observation status from
