A F F I D A V I T I, George F. Arsics, Jr., Amateur Radio Operator W2ZB, of Powder Springs, Georgia, hereby make the following to be my sworn affidavit: Between 1988 and 1996 I was a FCC watch officer assigned to the monitoring station in Powder Springs, Georgia. I voluntarily resigned in 1996 when I could no longer tolerate the corruption and mismanagement in the Federal Communications Commission, CIB in particular. From my personal experience, I declare the following facts. When we received Freedom of Information (hereafter referred to as "FOI") requests, I was normally told by supervisory personnel to "give them something which is of no use to them." In other words, I was directed by management to select items from the case folder which were of little or no use to the entity making the FOI request. Under no circumstances was I ever allowed to send the requesting entity information which placed the commission in a bad light or which would weaken the commission's case against the party making the FOI request. All FOI requests were normally routed through the Washington headquarters and not the field office. Stated another way, we did not send the FOI material directly to the requesting entity. Regarding violation notices, if there was insufficient evidence to support the notice, I was directed by management personnel to "send it to them and let them deny it." It would seem, the intent was to intimidate and harass. There was an unwritten rule never to cite law enforcement agencies or large organizations with legal staffs. I was never given a reason Affidavit of George F. Arsics, Jr., W2ZB -- Page 2 why we did not cite law enforcement agencies, unless it was some sort of professional courtesy. This, of course, smacks of selective enforcement and inequitable enforcement of the commission's rules and regulations. In the case of large organizations, the fear was of going up against resident legal expertise and ending up embarrassing the commission. It was assumed that private citizens did not have access to the same legal resources that corporations did. Thus, private citizens, such as amateur radio operators, were more vulnerable to selective enforcement. In regard to K1MAN (Glenn A. Baxter) activity, we received numerous telephone complaints and a few written complaints at Powder Springs refer complainants to the Washington headquarters. If I recall, by late 1992 the number of complaints had dwindled to maybe one a quarter. I saw the FCC and CIB from the inside for eight years, and it was NOT a pretty sight. Actually, for a career military person where duty, honor, and country came first, the FCC was a cesspool of corruption where only money and egos mattered. I hereby swear to the above statements according to my own personal knowledge, information, and belief. (signed) George F. Arsics, Jr., W2ZB (notarized)
