November 18, 1998 <br />Page 3 <br />Ms. Karpan claimed no involvement/knowledge, with my issues other than <br />through Senator Gramm's inquiries. That simply isn't the case. She teas received various <br />letters from me on these issues. Next, Ms. Karpan challenged me to tell her who told me <br />anything about the SDPS program. When I responded with Charles Sandburg's name, she <br />jumps and tells me she'll "just get him on the phone". She had obviously never <br />reseazched the issues I have raised, otherwise she would have not have taken a defensive <br />posture believing that Mr. Sandburg would wnfirm the position OSM has taken on the <br />production of the SDPS material. Ms. Karpan demonstrated surprise in her voice when <br />Mr. Sandburg acknowledged that he had told me about the SDPS prograzn. Director <br />ICarpan has placed OSM in the position wherein OSM cannot continue to deny and refuse <br />to give me the SDPS material - TT DOES EXIST! <br />Why all the subterfuge you might askT Let me tell you my theory. OSM knows <br />that they have incorrectly run the SDPS program with regard to my complaint. They can <br />not change then position because if they do it will then alter the results obtained in other <br />instances where OSM has incorrectly run the SDPS program with regard to subsidence; <br />they would have to cite Basin Resources for violations of the ACT; the State of Colorado <br />would have to change its position; Mike Rosenthal would not be eligible to receive a <br />bonus awazd for once again defeating the citizen in favor of the coal industry. Whether <br />we prevail in our appeal or not I intend on making the facts and truth publio- and the <br />facts aze that Denver OSM in conjunction with OSM employees in the east deliberately, <br />intentionally, and willfully falsified material and tests result in order to defeat my <br />complaint. Charles Sandburg told me years ago that James Pendleton, DMG, had been <br />hired by OSM to calibrate the SDPS program for the western regions. I know that this <br />has never been done. James Pendleton pled ignorance about the SDPS program initially. <br />OSM was told in writing, time, and time again, that they had not utilized the program <br />coaectly, yet Rosenthal, Seibel, Craft, and others REFUSED to correct the problem. <br />The problem does not stop there - I file a FOIA request and another round of <br />cover-up and lying starts. What does it take to get the truth? Why shouldn't my <br />government be responsive to me7 Why would one branch of the government deliberately <br />deceive anotherT <br />An intelligent individual would put a stop to all of this. Rerun the SDPS program <br />using the correct parameters, and the information submitted by our engineer, Carl Gerity. <br />Invite and pay for Mr. Gerity and myself to be present when this is done. Cite Basin <br />Resources, Inc. for the damage they created and fine them according to all provisions <br />available in the ACT for such violations; issue a reprimand to James Pendelton with <br />DMG for his deliberate and willful disobedience with regard to the ACT; fire Michael <br /> <br />
