Re:        Sweeney Mediation

Dear Judge Mazzone:

        We are submitting to you today our attorney's written response to the FDIC's (Attorney Shea) material and her letter to you dated today, December 19, 1997.

        We are willing to discuss the enclosed material with the proper authorities. Bishop Dyer and Senator Tarr continue to join us in this proposed effort.

          Sincerely yours,
