The event was sponsored by the We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education, Inc.

Professional videographers and photographers successfully recorded the day's activities from 8am to 4pm, including the meetings at the White House and in the Capitol, where the Remonstrance was hand delivered for President Clinton, Speaker Hastert and Senate Majority Leader Lott,

The delegation met at 8am in the Ballroom at the National Press Club. After an introductory speech by Bob Schulz and speeches by Joseph Banister and Steve Dasbach (national director of the National Libertarian Party), the delegates heard and commented on the premier reading of a full-length play about the people and the events at the turn of the century that resulted in the fraudulent adoption, in America, of the income tax and the private central bank known as the Federal Reserve System. The play also highlights Bill Benson, his work that uncovered the fraudulent ratification of the 16^th amendment, and the efforts by the federal government to silence him.

At 11:30am the entire delegation walked to the White House, where three of the delegates (Robert Schulz and Burr Deitz from N.Y., and Joseph Banister from California) were authorized to enter the Executive Office Building and proceed to Room 232 where they were received by Mr. Jason Furman, Senior Director and Senior Economic Advisor for the National Economic Council. While delegates Schulz and Banister spoke to Mr. Furman, delegate Deitz recorded the meeting on video tape.

The delegates delivered the following documents to Mr. Furman for President Clinton: A seven-page letter to the President, dated April 13, 2000, which succinctly summarizes the problems we have with the income tax; the Remonstrance with original signatures of the people who attended the Citizens' Summit meeting on November 13, 1999 at the National Press Club and the people who were not at the 11/13/99 meeting but were part of the delegation on April 13, 2000; a printout of the names, city and state of the thousands of people who had electronically signed the Remonstrance; and the original signatures of other people around the country who do not have access to the internet and wanted to have the Remonstrance sent to them for their signatures.

It should be noted that the seven-page letter to the President concludes with the following paragraphs:

The three delegates were given the opportunity to discuss with Mr. Furman the propositions that Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently proclaimed in 1913 that the 16^th Amendment had been ratified, and that there is no law or regulation that requires most citizens of the United States to file and pay the income tax, and that by signing a 1040 form, citizens are unknowingly waiving their 5^th Amendment rights against self- incrimination.

Mr. Furman stated that he and the President had taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and when they look at the Constitution they see the 16^th Amendment so they presume that it was legally and properly ratified. He went on to say that based on that presumption, the White House then looks through political and economic glasses as they develop tax policy. He went on to say that the income tax is considered to be the fairest, most progressive tax for raising the money needed by the government to care for the people, and that there have been court decisions that have declared that citizens are obligated to pay their fair share.

The delegates responded by saying that they were interested in defending the Constitution and the Rule of Law, and that they had little interest in political issues. They stated that neither the issue of the fraudulent ratification of the 16^th Amendment, nor the "liability under the IRC" issue have been determined by the courts.

The delegates respectfully asked Mr. Furman if he or any one else in the White House had reviewed Bill Benson's research report, "The Law That Never Was," with its state-by-state evidence that the 16^th Amendment was not ratified. He said "No." He also said that he believed that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

The delegates advised Mr. Furman of the language in the final paragraphs of the letter to President Clinton and asked Mr. Furman if he or others in the White House would participate in the June conference. Mr. Furman said that he and others in the office of the National Economic Council would study the issues we have raised, that he would also ask White House lawyers and "historical" people to do the same, and that the White House would participate in the June meeting.

From the White House the delegates traveled to the House side of the Capitol where delegates Schulz and Banister, together with two cameramen, were authorized to proceed to the office of Speaker Hastert where they met with Dr. William A. Koetzle of the Speaker's Policy Office. The rest of the delegation waited on the east steps of the Capitol.

The delegates delivered the following documents to Dr. Koetzle for Speaker Hastert: A seven-page letter to the Speaker, dated April 13, 2000, which succinctly summarizes the problems we have with the income tax; the Remonstrance with original signatures of the people who attended the Citizens' Summit meeting on November 13, 1999 at the National Press Club and the people who were not at the 11/13/99 meeting but were part of the delegation on April 13, 2000; a printout of the names, city and state of the thousands of people who had electronically signed the Remonstrance; and the original signatures of other people around the country who do not have access to the internet and wanted to have the Remonstrance sent to them for their signatures.

The two delegates were given the opportunity to discuss the propositions that Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently proclaimed in 1913 that the 16^th Amendment had been ratified, and that there is no law or regulation that requires most citizens of the United States to file and pay the income tax, and that by signing a 1040 form, citizens are unknowingly waiving their 5^th Amendment rights against self- incrimination.

Dr. Koetzle stated that the House had become very specialized, that the House Ways and Means Committee normally handles tax-related issues, but given the nature of the concerns being raised by the delegates, the documents would be reviewed by the Speaker's Policy Office and a copy of the documents would be delivered to the staff of the House Ways and Means Committee.

On the subject of the June conference, Dr. Koetzle told us that he would determine who from the House of Representatives would participate in the conference, and that he would so advise us.

The delegates then walked to the Senate side of the Capitol where delegates Schulz and Banister, together with two cameramen, were authorized to proceed to the office of Senator Lott, where they met with Mr. Keith Hennessey, Policy Director for the Senate Majority Leader.

The delegates delivered the following documents to Dr. Hennessey for Senator Lott: A seven-page letter to the Majority Leader, dated April 13, 2000, which succinctly summarizes the problems we have with the income tax; the Remonstrance with original signatures of the people who attended the Citizens' Summit meeting on November 13, 1999 at the National Press Club and the people who were not at the 11/13/99 meeting but were part of the delegation on April 13, 2000; a printout of the names, city and state of the thousands of people who had electronically signed the Remonstrance; and the original signatures of other people around the country who do not have access to the internet and wanted to have the Remonstrance sent to them for their signatures.

Mr. Hennessey stated that the Senate had become very specialized, that the Senate Finance Committee normally handles tax-related issues, but given the nature of the concerns being raised by the delegates, the documents would be reviewed by him and his staff, and a copy would be delivered to Mark Prater, senior tax advisor to the Senate Finance Committee.

On the subject of the June conference, Mr. Hennessey told the delegates that he would determine who from the Senate would participate in the conference, and that he would so advise the delegates.

From the Capitol the entire delegation walked to the United States Supreme Court where delegates Schulz and Banister handed the following documents to Court Officer J. Hudgins for Chief Judge Rehnquist: a one-page letter to Judge Rehnquist, dated April 13, 2000; the Remonstrance with original signatures of the people who attended the Citizens' Summit meeting on November 13, 1999 at the National Press Club and the people who were not at the 11/13/99 meeting but were part of the delegation on April 13, 2000; a printout of the names, city and state of the thousands of people who had electronically signed the Remonstrance; and the original signatures of other people around the country who do not have access to the internet and wanted to have the Remonstrance sent to them for their signatures.

The letter to Judge Rehnquist reads as follows, in its entirety:

Our purpose is to keep you informed since it appears obvious that this issue may eventually reach the court."

Officer Hudgins logged the documents in and said they would be delivered to Judge Rehnquist.
