Dear Mr. Fischer:
The Department of State has requested this office to inform your
that it has revoked U.S.
Passport Number Z7792702
issued to you on January 24, 1997 at the American Embassy at Bern,
Switzerland, and any other U.S. Passport you may possess, whether issued
to you in your true identity or not, under the provisions of section
51.70(A)(1) and 51.72(A) of title 22 of the code of federal regulations
which read as follows:
Section 51.70 – Denial of Passports – (A) A
passport, except for direct return to the United States, shall not be
issued in any case in which: (1) The applicant is the subject of an
outstanding federal warrant of arrest for a felony, including a warrant
issued under the Federal Fugitive Act (18 U.S.C. 1073).
Section 51.72 – Revocation or Restriction of
Passports – A passport may be revoked, restricted or limited where:
(A) the national would not be entitled to issuance of a new passport
under Section 51.70 or 51.71.
The Department’s action is predicated upon evidence that you
are the subject of a warrant for arrest issued on
December 15, 1992
by the United States District Court,
District of
Columbia
charging
you with violating sections 1701, 1702 and 1705 of title 50 of the United States Code.
Any further use of any
U.S.
passport
issued to you would constitute a violation of section 1544 of title 18
of the United States Code, a felony.
You are advised of your right to a hearing under sections 51.80
through 51.89 of the passport regulation, a copy of which is enclosed.
If you should desire such a hearing, you must notify this office
within 60 days after receipt of this notice.
However, such a hearing would be limited to determining whether
or not you are the subject of the warrant of arrest and if the
appropriate passport regulations were properly applied.
Furthermore, you are advised that a request for hearing does not
repeal does not serve to stay the revocation action taken by the
Department of State.
The revocation of the passport/s in no way affects your
eligibility to be documented for direct and immediate return to the
United
States.
Should you desire such documentation, please contact this office.
Sincerely,
Theodore
Allegra
Theodore Allegra
Consul of the
United
States of America
