MEMO

DATE: JANUARY 30, 2007

FROM: MICHAEL SALNICK

TO: – Assistant United States Attorney

**RE:** Investigation: Janusz Banasiak

I hope you are well. In following up on the status of this matter, there is something still bothering me. While I realize in your letter of January 23, 2007 you indicated that your office would question why you would ask for immunity for someone who you feel faces no criminal exposure, it isn't your feelings that I take issue with. Historically, I have not been happy with the way the Town of Palm Beach has handled this matter. While that may not have impacted directly upon Mr. Banasiak, the fact remains that he is still involved in this matter through your office's investigation.

I am asking that you reconsider my request for immunity so that I can alleviate the concerns that are still bothering me. Alternatively, if you can send a letter indicating he will never be prosecuted for anything resulting out of this investigation (although I know he has committed no criminal conduct whatsoever) that might suffice. We have certainly acted in good faith by our promptly turning over the documents requested.

Please let me know how we can deal with this. I know we are scheduled for Friday, but I am sure you can also appreciate my desire to protect my client's interests.

With kindest regards,

Michael Salnick
