Substantive experience, submitted by Franklin W. Losey:

1. I have been licensed to practice law for over 49 years, having graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1964.

2. I am licensed to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court, and I have submitted briefs that were considered by the U.S. Supreme Court.

3. During my last Assignment in the U.S. Air Force, I served in the Pentagon as the Air Force Director of Civil Law, where I supervised over 100 military and civilian attorneys and was involved in all litigation for and against the U.S. Air Force, and in so doing, I interfaced with the U.S. Attorneys and Justice Department Attorneys who defended the Air Force in Lawsuits filed against the U.S. Air Force.

4. In 1984 I was invited by the U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles to brief over 600 Security Personnel who were responsible for Security for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles on "how to" deal with demonstrators and the Press. His request was based on the fact that there was no adverse news publicity when over 525 demonstrators were taken into custody by Air Force Security Police in early 1984, and were arraigned before U.S. Magistrates in a 48 hour period as a result of their unlawful activities in protest to the first test launch of the Peacekeeper Missile at Vandenberg AFB, CA. All of this occurred in the presence of 93 credentialed members of the News Media who did not report any critical comment whatsoever - - 525 protestors in custody did not make the evening Network News!

5. Earlier in my Air Force Career, I served as a Military Judge (JAG), as a Prosecutor and as a Defense Counsel in over 100 serious courts-martial - - I served as defense counsel in five homicide trials.

6. As a result of my demonstrated experience in serious criminal trials, I was appointed as Government Counsel in a Classified Investigation of criminal charges against two senior officers in the aftermath of the Gaddafi Coup in Libya in 1969.

7. I have been assisting Attorneys in an unrelated and on-going Lawsuit that was filed by breeders against the USDA that challenged the decision of the USDA to release information to the HSUS as a result of a FOIA Request that the HSUS had made about breeders.

You be the judge as to whether Frank has enough substantive "experience" to spearhead this endeavor for us. We are thrilled to have this honest, and knowledgeable BULLDOG on our side of the fence!
