MESSAGE: Dear Folks,

A meeting has been scheduled with Avinash Viswanathan, a staff member of 
Senator Franken, to discuss torture and torture accountabilty issues similar to 
those we intend to raise tomorrow in our meeting with Senator Klobuchar's 
staffperson. While additional issues for Senator Klobuchar have been proposed 
since the email reproduced below, I think it will give you an idea of the type 
of issues we would like to discuss with Senator Franken's staff as well.

Mr. Viswanathan has informed me that their conference room will accommodate 
about eight people comfortably. I told him I was sure some would be willing to 
stand. He did say if I got back to him soon, he could certainly try to arrange 
an alternate location. For now, the meeting is to be held on Thursday, Jan. 14, 
2:00 p.m., at the Senator's office, 60 E. Plato Blvd., Suite 220, which is at 
the corner of Robert Street and Plato Blvd. on St. Paul's West Side. Mr. 
Viswanathan is a staff member iinvolved in policy issues and is in regular 
contact with Senator Franken's staff in Washington who work on Judiciary 
Committee matters.

If you or members of your organization would like to attend, please let me know 
as soon as possible.

Yours,

Chuck Turchick
