A week ago I asked for a faxed copy of your office's procedures for
handling statements of economic interest. I've received no response.
That's unacceptable.

As I stated in my letter, I am _not_ going to file the Statement of
Economic Interests. What exactly is the Office of the Secretary of State
going to do about this?

I am confident that the _law_ does not authorize any penalties against
me. However, on the basis of your statements, I am highly concerned that
the Office of the Secretary of State is going to take unlawful actions
against me. I demand to know exactly what actions are specified by your
office's procedures.
