We either have to do the October Agreement or the December Agreement, I don’t think we can let them get away with doing neither. Two-thirds of the victims do not have any representation. The language of the agreement gives us the right to select the Special Master, and we should choose someone quickly. We then have to create a written submission, and we should give them a very short time frame to do so. If we keep their feet to the fire, this can be completed within a week. A.

Are we really proposing the Special Master? Is he still on board? I thought we had said that compliance with that was an impossibility given the passage of time? From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) **Sent:** Friday, August 15, 2008 11:08 AM

Subject: FW: Follow-up point Just received a response from Jay. I’m not sure what he means about talking “this morning,” since I haven’t spoken to him today. I don't believe that we should wait two weeks for them to confer. They have the ability to confer over the telephone or to come and visit him (as reported in the Palm Beach Post). Here is my proposed response: ## Dear Jay: Thank you for your response. It is our position that Mr. Epstein accepted the December modification by his performance. If you prefer to return to the language of the October addendum, we have no objection, but, as you know, I have been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement and I cannot wait two weeks to do 210 EFTA00193290 Recipient Acosta, Alex (USAFLS) Read Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS) Senior, Robert (USAFLS) Read: 8/15/2008 11:42 AM Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) Atkinson, Karen (USAFLS) Read: 8/15/2008 1:58 PM Read: 8/15/2008 11:44 AM 209
