SAW OFFICES or GERALD B. LEFCOURT. P.C. The United States Attorney's Office Southern District of Florida July 6, 2007 Page 21 Mr. Epstein was part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative, which is described as a project "bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges." Focuses of this initiative include poverty, climate change, global health, and religious and ethnic conflicts. Mr. Epstein has sought to improve people's lives through active participation in worthy scientific and academic research projects, as well. He spent hundreds of hours researching the world's best scientists, and he himself studied as a Harvard Fellow in order to increase his own knowledge in fields that he believed could provide solutions to the world's most difficult problems. He is committed to helping the right researchers find those solutions, especially in the fields of medical science, human behavior and the environment. In the past four years alone, Mr. Epstein has made grants to research programs at major institutions under the supervision of some of the most highly regarded research professionals and scholars in their fields, including Martin Nowak, a mathematical biologist who studies, among other things, the dynamics of infectious diseases and cancer genetics; Martin Seligman, known for his work on Positive Psychology — that is to say the psychology of personal fulfillment; Roger Schank, a leading researcher in the application of cognitive learning theory to the curricula of formal education; the renown physicist/cosmologist Lawrence Krauss, and many others. Institutions funded include Harvard University; Penn State University; Lenox Hill Hospital (New York); the Biomedical Research and Education Foundation; the Santa Fe Institute; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Case Western Reserve University; and Harvard Medical School's Institute for Music and Brain Science. Moreover, Mr. Epstein has sponsored and chaired symposia that have provided a rare opportunity for the world's leading scholars and research professionals to share ideas across interdisciplinary lines. These leaders gather to discuss important and complex topics, including the origin of life, systems for understanding human behavior, and personal genomics. In order to expand the pool of qualified research professionals actively engaged in addressing the world's numerous problems, Mr. Epstein co-founded, and served as a trustee and actively participated in the selection committee of, the Scholar Rescue Fund. The Scholar Rescue Fund (SRF) is a program of the Institute of International Education, the group that, inter alia, administers the Fulbright Scholarship program. The SRF provides support and safe haven to scholars at risk from around the world. Over the past EFTA00284195

LOON OIICCl OF GERALD B. LEFCOURT. PC. The United States Attorney's Office Southern District of Florida July 6, 2007 Page 22 five years, SRF has made 155 grants to scholars from more than 37 countries. Scholars are placed at host universities in a safe country. More than 87 institutions around the world have hosted SRF scholars to date, including eight of the top ten universities in the United States. Most recently, SRF launched the Iraq Scholar Rescue Project to save scholars in Iraq, many of whom have been particularly targeted for kidnapping and death since the conflict there began. Mr. Epstein is a highly valued member of the selection committee. Just a few articles mentioning these and other projects are annexed at Tab Even a casual review of the good works large and small in which he has involved himself leads one to conclude that he has a powerful instinct to help others. He does this not simply because he can, but because he has a deeply ingrained desire to do so. In fact, he believes that, as a result of his good fortune, he is obligated to do so. Since 2000, Mr. Epstein has funded educational assistance, science and research and community and civic activities. As you can see, his philanthropy is not limited to financial support. To the contrary, it has involved the dedication of a remarkable amount of his time and effort and has yielded admirable results. It is noteworthy that a majority of the people he has helped over the years have been those with whom he has had little or no contact, which further confirms that he derives no personal benefit from his good works, other than the personal satisfaction derived from using his good fortune to help others. The sincere devotion to others evidenced by Mr. Epstein's philanthropic activities is no less apparent in his interpersonal relationships. Mr. Epstein has maintained both long term significant, intimate as well as professional relationships. He remains close personal friends with people with whom he went to high school and, to this day, maintains close business contacts with his former colleagues at Bear Steams. Those who know Mr. Epstein well describe him admittedly as quirky but certainly not immoral; and overall as kind, generous and warm-hearted. They have remained staunch supporters despite the lurid media attention during this two-year investigation. Mr. Epstein acknowledges that the activities under investigation, as well as the investigation itself, have had and continue to have an unfortunate impact on many people. With a profound sense of regret, Mr. Epstein hopes to end any further embarrassment to all who are and who may become involved in this serious matter. Resolution of the outstanding charges in the state would put an appropriate end to the matter for everyone. EFTA00284196

STEVEN PINKER Johnstone Family Professor DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY HARVARD UNIVERSITY Professor Alan Dershowitz Harvard Law School Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 June 28, 2007 Dear Alan, I'm happy to offer the help of my knowledge in linguistics to determine the natural interpretation of a statute you have inquired about. My comments refer to how a literate English speaker would interpret the statute, based on research on the syntax and semantics of verbs. I consider myself an expert on this topic, having written about it in many scholarly articles and in three books: Learnability and Cognition (MIT Press, 1989), Lexical and Conceptual Semantics (coedited with Beth Levin; Blackwell, 1992), and The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature (Viking, 2007). The statute at issue is as follows: Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than ten years or for life. Your question, as I understand it, pertains to the temporal and causal relationship between the person's use of the mail (or other interstate/foreign instrument) and his knowingly persuading (inducing, enticing, etc.) the minor. Simplifying the various disjuncts and subordinate clauses so that we may concentrate on the semantics, the relevant part of the statute is effectively this: Whoever, using the mail etc., knowingly persuades a minor to engage in a criminal sexual activity, shall be fined and imprisoned. So the question is: does this statute apply (1) to someone who uses the mail (or Internet or phone) and subsequently persuades a minor, in person, to engage in sex, or does it apply only to (2) someone who persuades a minor, over the phone (etc.) to engage in sex? That is, if John phones a woman asking her only to have dinner, and then, at dinner, persuades her to engage in illegal sex, does his behavior fall under the language of the statute? Linguistically, this boils down to how the appositive gerundive phrase "using the mail" relates to the causative main verb "persuades." The gerundive phrase is playing the semantic role William James Hall 970 I 33 Kirkland Street I Cambridge I Massachusetts 02138 I f EFTA00284199
Page 26 / 91
of instrument: something used as a means to the ends specified by the causative verb. So the question is how an instrument-phrase is ordinarily interpreted. We can clarify this by simplifying even further and substituting concrete events for the abstract ones in the statute: (a) John, using a hammer, broke the glass. Now consider the following scenarios: (b) John uses a hammer to bang nails into a piece of wood. Then he puts the hammer down, reaches for a glass, and deliberately smashes the glass against the table. (c) With his right hand, John hammers in a nail. While he is doing this, he reaches for a glass with his left hand, and deliberately smashes the glass against the table. (d) John takes a hammer and deliberately swings it against the glass, breaking it. It's clear that no English speaker would ever use the sentence (a) to describe scenario (b). Similarly, sentence (a) would almost certainly not be used to describe scenario (c): any English speaker would say "while using a hammer," not just "using a hammer." The only scenario that can be described by (a) is the one in (d). In other words, the event denoted by the instrumental gerundive phrase must immediately precede the event denoted by the causative verb, and the actor has to use the instrument in order to bring about the change indicated by the causative verb; that is, it has to be the means to an end. There is an additional condition that bas to be met. Consider scenario (e): (e) Mary is holding a glass. John stands behind Mary, and bangs a hammer against an iron bar. The noise startles Mary, who drops the glass, breaking it. Here, too, it would be pretty weird to use sentence (a) to describe the scenario, even if John intended for the glass to break as a result of the scenario. As far as English verbs are concerned, the only means to the end that counts is the one that directly and immediately precedes the end. In addition, the way in which the means brings about the end has to be more-or-less stereotyped—the circuitous and unconventional means in this case (startling Mary) renders the sentence unacceptable. Finally, to be as charitable as possible to alternative interpretations, consider scenario (1): (f) A glass is packed in a wooden crate. John smashes the crate with a hammer in order to open it. He reaches for the glass and hurls it against the floor, breaking it. Even with this scenario it would be very odd to say "John, using a hammer, broke the glass." Once again, the use of the hammer has to the immediate cause of the breaking of the glass, not one separated from it by several links in a causal chain. Getting back to the statute in question, I would conclude that it would naturally apply only to someone who used the Internet or phone (or other relevant facility) as the direct, immediate, and intended means to the end of persuasion: that is, the sexual come-on would have to be on the phone or in the Internet message. If one doubts this, one only has to consider a scenario in which John phones Mary to invite her to dinner, having no sexual intentions whatsoever, and during dinner is struck by her beauty and relaxed by the wine, and decides on EFTA00284200
Page 27 / 91
the spur of the moment to try to seduce her. No one could possibly describe that as "John, using the phone, seduced Mary," since he had no such intention at the time he used the phone. These properties of the use of verbs—immediateness, means-ends, directness, stereotypy—have been discussed in the literature on the lexical semantics of causative verbs for almost forty years. They have also been confirmed in experiments that ask people whether they could use various sentences to describe particular scenarios. I append below a few of the references to the relevant scholarly literature. My professional conclusion, in sum, is that an English speaker, reading the statute, would naturally understand it as applying only to persuasion (etc.) that is done while "using the mail" (etc.). To understand it as applying to persuasion (etc.) done subsequent to the use of the mail, phone, etc., would be an unnatural and grammatically inaccurate reading of the language. I hope this helps to clarify your question. Please don't hesitate to be in touch if I can clarify or expand on this analysis. Sincerely, Fodor, J. A. (1970).
