Re: Failure of Federal Agencies to Produce Independent Annual Certified Financial Statements and Reliable Financial Systems; $3.3 Trillion of Undocumented Adjustments at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Department of Defense (DOD) for fiscal 1998-2000 (the “missing money”).

Dear Congressman Hilleary:

I had the opportunity to attend your presentation in early March at the offices of First South Bank in Bolivar. You reviewed your qualifications to serve as our next Governor of Tennessee. Your focus was on the importance of your qualifications and ability to bring financial responsibility and accountability to Tennessee state government. During questions and answers, you confirmed that you were aware that there was over $3.3 trillion of missing money at DOD and HUD for fiscal 1998-2000. When asked what you had done to figure out what money is gone and how we get it back and make sure that this does not happen again, your response was that you were only one of more than 400 members of the House of Representatives and that there was really nothing you could do.

As a follow up, I have prepared the following questions with the help of the members of the Hickory Valley Baptist Church Women’s Bible Class. Your responses to more specific questions are necessary for us to assess your qualifications to manage complex government budgets and financial problems. They will also help us to understand what actions we can take to ensure that our tax dollars are managed according to the law and lost or stolen money is recovered and returned to the US Treasury.

We appreciate your sending a written response to our questions to:

The Hickory Valley Baptist Church – Women’s Bible Class
PO Box 157
Hickory Valley, Tennessee 38042

We anticipate asking these or similar questions to the other candidates running in Tennessee this year.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at catherine@solari.com. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely yours,

Catherine Austin Fitts
