- Dear Mr. Wilson
Enclosed is a copy of the letter,concluding the decision made by Mr.
Gambino I am strongly'opposed to the withholding of any information
the government has on me and wish to make a direct and forceful appeal.
?
My family, including father, brothers, and uncles, have all served in
World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnamese War. I, myself, have
held officer's commissions in the United States Navy and the United
States Air Force. Under no possibility, will I accept a government file
on me which could reflect on my family or my allegiance to my country.
If there is such information,-I demand to know about it immediately. Any
other information other than that which may reflect on the patriotism to
my country, I will not tolerate being withheld from me. I am fully pre-
pared to take this to any necensary court.'
Copies of this letter will, of course, go to all individuals who are fully
aware of this particular situation. I am not requesting, but a3 a free
citizen in a Democracy, demanding the information that is due me under
my constitutional rights. Full disclosure and information will be required
in twenty-one days after receipt of this letter. If I am not fully satis-
fied by the appropriate reply by that time, I will commence immediate
action.
Respectfully,
fW;:cw? Uamuel A. Stornelli, M.D.
