Dear Sir:

Please be advised that the Department of State on November 21, 2003 revoked U.S. passport number Z7792702 issued to Robert James Fischer on January 24, 1997, at the American Embassy Bern, Switzerland, and any other U.S. passport he may possess.  This action has been taken because Mr. Fischer is the subject of an outstanding federal warrant of arrest issued on December 15, 1992, by the Unites States District Court, District of Columbia, charging him with violating sections 1701, 1702 and 1705 of title 50 of the United States Code ( International Emergency Economic Powers Act ).  

Robert James Fischer, also know as Bobbie Fischer or Bobby Fischer, was born on March 9, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois.  He is described as a white male, 6 feet and 2 inches tall, with brown hair and hazel eyes.  Mr. Fischer is believed to travel between Tokyo and Manila, every three months, to live in Tokyo, under the 90 day visa waiver status.  He is believed to be in Japan at this time.  

The Embassy requests your assistance in informing ports of entry and departure in Japan that Mr. Fischer does not have a valid travel document and should not be boarded on outbound flights, or admitted as an inbound traveler.  Should Mr. Fischer attempt to enter or depart Japan, we request your assistance in immediately notifying the United States Embassy so that Mr. Fischer’s passport may be confiscated.  We will see that Mr. Fischer is appropriately documented for direct return to the United States.  

At the Embassy, please contact me at (03) 3224-5170 ( direct line ) or (03) 3224-5000 ( Embassy switchboard – 24 hrs ).  

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
