Dear Chairwoman Sanchez:
This responds to your letter, dated February 14, 2007 and Congressman Emanuel's letter,
dated February 7,2007, which requested that former United States Attorney Carol Lam be
appointed as outside counsel to finish the investigation relating to former Congressman
Cunningham. As you know, Ms. Lam left the Department of Justice on February 15,2007 and
we understand that she began her new private sector position on February 26,2007. We are.
sending similar responses to the other Members who joined in your letter to us.
We appreciate your interest in the continuity of our law enforcement efforts stemming
from the prosecution of former Congressman Cunningham and want to assure you that the career
prosecutors will continue their work with our support. We do not believe that Ms. Lam's
departure will negatively impact that investigation in any material respect. As the Attorney
General has testified, the Department would not ever seek the resignation of a U.S.Attorney if
doing so would jeopardize a public cormption case.
.
Accordingly, we are not aware of any basis for appointing Ms. Lam as an outside counsel
in connection with the Cunningham investigation, particularly since she has assumed a new
position outside of the government. The matter also does not present a conflict of interest or
other extraordinary circumstances that would warrant the appointment of a Special Counsel
pursuant to the Department's regulation. We have no doubt that the investigation will move
fonvard under the able leadership of the career prosecutors in the United States Attorney's
Office, who have been long-dedicated to this matter.
TheAttorney General has made the prosecution of public corruption one of his Iiriorities,
and we appreciate your support of this important work. The Department is justifiably proud of
its record of fighting public cormption. In the first five years of this Administration, our United
States Attorney's Offices have charged more than 5,500 defendants in public cormption cases
md convicted more than 4,800 individuals. During that same time pefiod, the Criminal
)ivision's Public Integrity Section has charged 280 defcndanls in public coquption cases and
convicted more than 250 individuals.

We appreciate your interest in the continuity of our law enforcement efforts stemming
from the prosecution of former Congressman Cunningham and want to assure you that the career
prosecutors will continue their work with our support. We do not believe that Ms. Lam's
departure will negatively impact that investigation in any material respect. As the Attorney
General has testified, the Department would not ever seek the resignation of a U.S.Attorney ifdoing so would jeopardize a public conuption case.
Accordingly, we are not aware of any basis for appointing Ms. Lam as an outside counsel
in connection with the Cunningham investiggtion, particularly since she has assumed a new
position outside of the government. The matter also does not present a conflict of interest or
other extraordinary circumstances that would warrant the appointment of a Special Counsel
pursuant to the Department's regulation. We have no doubt that the investigationwiil move
forward under the abIe leadership of the career prosecutors in the United States Attorney's
Office, who have been long-dedicated to this matter.
,
The Attorney General has made the prosecution ofpublic conuption one of his priorities,
and weappreciate your support of this important work. The Department is justifiably proud of
its record of fighting public corruption. In the first five years of this Administration,our United
States Attorney's Offices have charged more than 5,500 defendants in public corruption cases
and convicted more than 4,800 individuals. During that same time period, the Criminal
Division's Public Integrity Section has charged 280 defendants in public corruption cases and
convicted more than 250 individuals.

Dear Senator Reid:
This is in response to your letter to the Attorney General dated February 8,2007.
An identical response has been sent to the other signatories-of that letter.
As an initial matter, the Department agrees with the principle you set forth in your
letter that "[olnce appointed, U.S. Attorneys, perhaps more than any other public
servants, must be above politics and beyond reproach; they must be seen to enforce the
rule of law without fear or favor." That many U.S. Attorneys, appointed by Presidents of
both parties, have had political experience prior to their appointment does not undermine
that principle. Your letter, however, contains assumptions and assertions that are simply
erroneous.
First, your letter truncates the actual quote of the Attorney General's testimony at
the Judiciary Committee hearing on January 18,2007, and consequently,
-.
mischaracterizesthe statement. In full, the Attorney General stated: "I think I would never, ever make a change in a United States attorney for political reasons or v i t would
in any wayjeopardize an ongoing serious investigafion. Ijust would not do it" (emphasis
added). The Department of Justice rejects any suggestion that U.S. Attorneys were asked
or encouraged to resign for the inappropriate "political reason" of interfering with any
public corruption case or retaliating against a U.S. Attorney who oversaw such a case.
-.
Second, your letter mischaracterizes the testimony of the Deputy Attorney
Genera1 given at the hearing held on February 6,2007. The Deputy Attorney General
simply stated the Department's view that asking U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins to resign
so that Special Assistant U.S.Attorney Tim Griffin might have the opportunity to serve
as U.S. Attorney is not an inappropriate "political reason." This is so, the Deputy
- -Attorney General testified, because, inter alia, Mr. Griffin is very well-qualifi-edto serve
as U.S. Attorney, and Mr. Cummins "may have already been thinking about leaving at
some point anyway."

indeed, at the time Mr. Griffin was appointed interim U.S. Attorney in December
2006 he had far more federal prosecution experience (in the Criminal Division and in the
U.S. Attorney's office) than Mr. Cummins did at the time he was appointed U.S.
Attorney in January 2002. Mr. Cummins himself credits MI. Griffin with the
establishment of that office's successful gun-crime prosecution initiative. And Mr.
Griffin has substatial military prosecution experience that Mr. Cummins does not have.
Those who know MI. Griffin must concede that he brings a style of leaaership and level
of energy that could only enhance the success of a U.S. Attorney's office. Moreover, it
was well-known, as early as December 2004, that Mr. Cummins intended to leave the
office and seek employment in the private sector. See "The Insider Dec. 30," Ark. Times
(Dec. 30,2004) ("Cummins, 45, said that, with four children to put through college
someday, he'll likely begin exploring career options. It wouldn't be 'shocking,' he said,
for there to be a change in his ofice before the end of Bush's second term."). Finally, the
Deputy Attorney General did not state or imply that Mr. Griffin would be appointed as
the U.S. Attorney without Senate confiation. Such a statement would be inconsistent
with the Department's stated position that we are committea to having a Senateconfirmed U.S. Attorney in all 94 federal districts.
'
Third, the Department does not consider the replacement of one Republican U.S.
Attomey by another Republican lawyer who is well-qualified and has extensive
experience as a prosecutor and strong ties to the district to be a change made for "political
reasons." Mr. Cummins was confirmed to serve a four-year term, which expired on
January 9,2006. He served his entire tern, plus an additional year. United States
Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President; that has always been the rule, and U.S.
Attorneys accept their appointment with that understanding.
In answer to your specific questions:
. -
Although the decision to have Mr. Griffin replace Mr. Cummins was first
contemplated in the spring or summer of 2006, the final decision to appoint Mr.
Griffin to be interim U.S.Attorney in the Eastern District of Arkansas was made
on or about December 15,2006, after the Attorney General had spoken with
Senator Pryor.
The Department of Justice is not aware of anyone lobbving for Mr. Griffin's
appoinkent. Consistent with longstanding Adminishation practice, the decision
regarding whether Mr. Griffin (who then was on active military duty) might be
considered for appointment as U.S. Attorney upon his return &om I&
was
discussed and madejointly by the Depafunent of Justice and the White House.

Dear Attorney General Gonzales:
As yuu are aware, rhere are many questions surrounding the recent dismissal of seven U.S.~norneys,
including whether or laar your offoe has rkc authority to dismiss dlese individuals, and if their firings
were poliricallymotivated These questions will llopeful~ybe answered in good time, but in order to
atparate the question of authority from r1Ie question o f political modvation, I an writing specifically
a b u t the case of Cam1Lam.
Carol Lam served as the U.S. Attorney in San Diego from Septenlber,'2002 until her dismissal last moqih,
According to the San Diego Union-TribunelP,
Ms. Lam was fired because her superiorswere cnhappy with
her resulrs on crime and immipatioa prosecutions. In the l a ~ s data,
t San Diego ranked sacond in tem.i
of immigration prosccudo~,and Ms. ]Lam had recently convicted the chiefs of Golden State Fence Co.
for ldring illegal immigrants. Since Lam's appointment as a U.S. Accomey>violenx crime has fallen 2.4%
for the San Diego area.
Previoualy, Lam was praieed by former Anorncy General AshcroR for her role in securing a guilry plea
by Mullanled Abid Afridi and Ilyas Afi on felony clmges of conspiracyto provide material suppod to
terrorists. Lsrn's record is one that should make the Repamrent ofJustice proud.
Ytr Carol Lam is beat known for her successful investigation and prosecution o f former Congressman
Duke Cun~lingham.Former Congressmi Cunningham is currently sewing jail time, but Ms. Laui'6
in~estipaxionhad not ended at the time of lier disn~issal.In fact, she was in the process of investigating
whether or nor the cormprion involved other Members of Congress and lobbyists, as well as current and
former menlbera ofthe national securiv apparorus. It is for this reason that the riming of her dismissal
raises serious and troubling questions. In hct, special agent in charge Dan Dmilewski -the FBIJs 4lp
official for San Diego -said, "I guarantee politics is involved It will he a huge loss from my
perspective."
.
...
I
To remove the cloud of politics over Ms. Lam's dismissal and ro ensure there are no delays in the
investigation of the Cunningham matter, I call on you ro immediately name Carol Lam as ouhide couns,:l
with all necessary resources to conrinue her uccellcnr work on 1110 Cunningl~qm
case and rclsced manerd.

Th$nk you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Wnrhin,olon,D.C 20530
January 3 1,2007
The Honorable Mark Pryor
'United States Senate
257 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C.2051.0
Dear Senator Pryor:
This is in response to your letter to the Attorney General dated January 11,2007,
regarding the Attorney General's appointment of J. Timothy Griffin to serve as interim
United States Attorney for the Eastem District of Arkansas:
As the Attomey General informed you in his telephone conversations with you on
December 13,2006, and December 15,2006, Mr. Griffin was chosen for appointment to
serve as interim United States Attomey because of his excellent qualifications. To be
clear, Mr. Griffin was not chosen because the First Assistant United States Attorney was
on maternity leave and therefore was not able to serve as your letter states. As you know,
Mr. Griffin has federal prosecution experience both in the Eastern District of Arkansas
and in the Criminal Division in Washington, D.C. During his senrice in the Eastern
District of Arkansas, Mr. Griffin established that district's successful Project Safe
Neighborhoods initiative to reduce firearms-related violence. In addition, Mr. Griffiwhas
served for more than a decade in the U.S. Army R e s e ~ eJudge
,
Advocate General's
Corps, for whom he has prosecuted more than 40 criminal cases, including cases of
national significance. Mr. Griffin's military experience includes recent service in Iraq,
for which he was awarded the Combat Action Badge and the Army Commendation
Medal. Importantly, Mr. Griffin is a "real Arkansan" with genuine ties to the community.
Based on these qualifications, Mr. Griffin was selected to serve as interim United States
Attorney.
As the Attomey General also has stated to you, the Administration is committed
to having a Senate-confirmedUnited States Attorney for all 94 federal districts. At no
- h e h a s the Administration sought to avoid the Senate confiiation process by .
appointing an interim United States Attomey and then refusing to move forward, in
consultation with home-State Senators, on the selection, nomination and confirmation of
a new United States Attorney. Not once.
.
Letter to the Honorable Mark Pryor
Page 2
The Eastern District of Arkansas is not different. As the Attorney Genad statedto you again two weeks ago, in a telephone conversation on January 17,2007,'theAdministration is committed to having a Senate-confirmedUnited States Attomey in that
district too. That is why the Administration has consulted uiith you and Senator Lincoln
for s e v a months now regarding possible candidates for nomination, including Mr.
Griffin. That is why the Attorney General has sought your views as to whether, if
nominated, you would Support Mr. Griffin's contimation. The Administration awaits
your decision.
- -.
If you decide that you would support Mr. Griffin's confirmation, then the
President's senior advisors (after taking into account Senator Lincoln's views) likely
would recommend that the President nominate him. With your support, Mr. Griffin
almost certainly would be confirmed and appointed. We are convinced that, given his
strong record as a federal prosecutor and as a military prosecutor, Mr. Griffin would
serve ably as a Senate-confirmed United States Attorney. If, in contrast, you decide that
for whatever reason you will not support Mr. Griffin's confirmation, then the
Administration looks forward to considering any alternative candidates for nomination
that you might put forward. In any event, your views (and the views of Senator Lincoln)
will be given substantial weight in determining what recommendation to make to the
President regarding who is nominated.
Last year's amendment to the Attorney General's appointment authority was
necessary and appropriate. Prior to the amendment, the Attomey General could appoint
an interim United States Attorney for only 120 days; thereafter, the district court was
authorized to appoint an interim United States Attomey. In cases where a Senateconfirmed United States Attomey could not be appointed within 120 days, the limitation
on the Attomey General's appointment authority resulted in numerous, recurring
problems. For example, some district courts - recognizing the oddity of members of one
branch of government appointing officers of another and the conflicts inherent in the
appointment of an interim United States Attomey who would then have many matters
before the court - rehsed to exercise the court appointment authority, thereby requiring
the Attorney General to make successive, 120-day appointments. In contrast, other
district courts - ignoring the oddity and the inherentconflicts - sought to appoint as
interim United States Attomey wholly unacceptable candidates who did not have the
appropriate experience or the necessary clearances. Contrary to your letter, nothing in
the text or history of the statute even suggests that the Attorney General should articulate
a national security or law enforcement need for making an interim appointment. Because
fhe Administration is committed to having a Senate-confirmed United States Attorney for
- a1194 federal districts, changing the law to restorc the limitations on Me Attorney
General's appointment authority is unnecessary.
Enclosed is information regarding the exercise of the Attorney General's authority
to appoint interim United States Attorneys. As you will see, the enclosed information
establishes conclusively that the Administration is committed to having a Senateconfirmed United States Attorney in all 94 federal districts. Indeed, every single time
.

that a United States Attorney vacancy has arisen, the President either has made a
nomination or - as with the Eastern District of Arkansas - the Administration is working,
in consultation with home-State Senators, to select a candidate for nomination. Such
nominations are, of course, subject to Senate confirmation.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Nertling

Deiu Chairman Conyers and Representative Berman:
This is in response to your letter, dated January 17,2007, regarding Carol Lamls
resignation as United States Attorney for the Southern District of California.
Your letter's suggestion that Ms. Lam was asked or encouraged to resign in an
effort to disrupt an ongoing public corruption investigation is categorically untrue.
United States Attorneys never are removed, or asked or encouraged to resign, in an effort
to disrupt any particular investigation, criminal prosecution or civil case - including any
public cormption case. Any suggestion to the contrary simply is irresponsible. Indeed, the Attomey General has directed United States Attorneys to prosecute public cormption
vigorously. A fair examination of the Department of Justice's performance in this area
clearly demonstrates the Department's commitment to protect the integrity of government
by rooting out public corruption - whenever it is found and whoever is implicated.
.
;
I
Moreover, the removal of a United Slates Attomey to impede an ongoing public
cormption investigation would be entirely ineffective. Public corruption investigations
typically involve many agents and prosecutors. The departure of the United States
Attorney, for whatever reason, does not stop or even slow the investigation. Given the
occasional turnover of United States Attomeys, career investigatorsand prosecutors
exercise direct responsibility for nearly all such cases.
. .
United States Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President.,Like other highranking Executive Branch officials, they may be removed for any rzason or no reason.
The Attorney Genera! and the Deputy Attorney General are responsible for evaluating the
performance of the United States Attomeys and ensuring that they are leading their

offices effectively. That on occasion in an organization as large as the Justice . Department some United States Attorneys resign - for whatever reason - should come as
no surprise.
With regard to the upcoming United States Attorney vacancy in the Southern
District of California, the Department will select a person to serve temporarily as United
States Attorney until a Senate-confirmedUnited States Attorney is appointed, and the
Administration will consult with home-State Senators to select a person t c be
~ nominated,
confirmed and appointed. Please be assured that both persons will be experienced
lawyers who are committed to the Department's priorities -: including the vigorous
prosecution of public corruption.
