Chuck,

I sincerely apologize, but something is come up and I have to cancel most of my 
meetings for this week. You and I have been going back and forth for some time 
now, and I want to make sure that your issue is heard. I think that maybe the 
best way to move forward right now would be if you and your group could put 
together some written documents on the issue that you could get to me so that I 
can make sure it gets to the right people. What I’m thinking this information 
should include is background information on the torture issue and what you are 
asking our office to do. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Avi Viswanathan

Dear Mr. Viswanathan:

You asked me to inform you about the numbers coming to our meeting this 
Thursday to discuss torture and torture accountability issues. It looks like 
we'll have about 10-12, so I don't think it's necessary for you to find an 
alternate location. You said your conference room seats eight people 
comfortably. If necessary, I'm sure some of us would be willing to stand.

Looking forward to meeting you this Thursday.

Yours,

Chuck Turchick
