HOUSE OVERSIGHT 012628 10/05/2007 07:48 AM "Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS)" To "Jay Lefkowitz" cc bcc Subject RE: Proposed Letter to Special Master WMPRWIr EA*76-41.4gR,V' Good morning, Jay. We need to resolve the attorney issue today. It has been weeks since execution of the contract, and there is no need for further delay. As far as the five attorney names that we will be providing, I propose Bert Ocariz, Katherine Ezell at Podhurst Orseck, Stuart Grossman, Ed Rogers, and Walter Cobath. If you would like to use the same Special Master to resolve fees disputes as well as to handle the selection of the attorney, I would recommend that we use retired 11th Circuit Judge Joseph Hatchett instead of Judge Davis because of Judge Davis's health problems. (No one has contacted Judge Hatchett yet, but one of the District Judges in Miami mentioned him as a good choice.) I am available for a conference call between 9:00 and 10:00, and between 3:15 and 6:00. Please call me on my cell and let me know which of those times works best for you. Thank you.

But I really need to go over this and then discuss with Jeffrey. So please do not send this to any Special Master before we discuss the next steps. Thanks -- Jay "Villafana, Ann Marie C.
