Eisenberg (bigjimlaw@aol.com) Subject: Hi Jim -- I haven't heard back from you regarding Ms. so I think I will need to bring her to the grand jury. I would like to do this the afternoon of Friday, October 20th. Please let me know if I can fax over a subpoena or if you would like the agents to hand deliver it. Thanks. 1 EFTA00223698 Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 1:51 PM To: BiglimLaw@aoLcom Subject: RE: Tatum Miller Hi Jim -- Thank you for the e-mail, and I will even forgive the football reference. I was just set for trial, so the earliest I will be able to reschedule the testimony will be after Thanksgiving. I will give you a call to discuss the immunity issue but I am concerned about other things we have talked about -- if Ms. Miller is given immunity, will she be forthcoming and answer the questions? Or am I going to jump through hoops to get her immunity and then have to worry about filing motions to compel, motions for orders to show cause why she shouldn't be held in contempt, etc., etc.? As always, thank you for your assistance. Regards, Marie A.

(USAFLS) Subject: Re: Tatum Miller Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I have been out of town for several weeks. As to Miss Miller, she still does not wish to testify in this case and has a Fifth Amendment basis for her position. She wishes not to accept the "proffer letter " cover of immunity, which again is her right. I think it is a waste of time to have her appear Friday to just take the Fifth. I suggest that you huddle with your people. (It is football season). If you want to push the issue you will have to get formal immunity. I will accept service now and in the future for you so you don't have to chase Tatum down. Jim Eisenberg 2 EFTA00223699 Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS) From: Villafana, Ann Marie C.

Corey (USAF LS) Read: 11/15/20068A1 AM Acosta. Diana (USAF LS) Read: 1115/2006 10:18 AM Hi Bob, Corey, and Diana -- There is going to be a national Project Safe Childhood Conference in Washington, DC, during the week of December 3rd. We have received tentative approval to pay the expenses of a local/state law enforcement officer to attend, and I was hoping that you could recommend someone that you work with regularly to attend. A number of courses are being offered on topics like forensics, the spread of child pornography, and the psychology of the child predator, so it should be pretty interesting and it would be a nice "thank you" for someone who has worked hard in this area. We are at the top of the waiting list for a spot, so they are going to tell me today if we get the spot and I have to tell them today who is going to fill the spot, so if you could get back to me this morning, it would be most appreciated. I will need to provide contact info and an e-mail address for whomever is going to attend. I am happy to call to extend the invite, or if you would rather call directly, the conference starts the morning of December 4th and ends at noon on December 6th, so travel will be the afternoon of December 3rd returning the afternoon of December 6th. The only expenses that the officer/agent will have to cover are some meals. Thank you! A. Marie Villafafia Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 S.

Karen (USAEO) Read: 11/1S/2006 1122 AM Hi Karen -- I have registered again and I received my confirmation notice. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm not sure why the info didn't "take" the first time. I have received a number of calls from the law enforcement officers regarding the "dress code" for the conference. I didn't see any information about that on the website, and I was wondering what I should tell them. And, any news yet on my request for a spot to bring a fourth law enforcement officer? Thank you!

From our dealings with the event organizers, it appears that they underestimated the popularity of the event and they have run out of hotel rooms, conference rooms, and exhibition space. Alex and I are planning a trip up to Fort Pierce after we return, and hopefully, at that time, we can meet all of the law enforcement officers that work with the Office. A.
