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
