Dear Professor Pollard:
It was with great sadness and empathy that I read your letter of September
24, 1990. It must be so very difficult for you to deal with your sonšs
situation.

I am not aware of exactly what Weinberger told the Court about the impact of
the information Jonathan passed to Israel. I do know that Weinberger had an
almost visceral dislike of Israel and the special place it occupies in our
foreign policy. In my opinion, the severity of the sentence that Jonathan
received was out of proportion to his alleged offense.

I wish there were something I could do to help you, but I am afraid all I
can offer you are my prayers and empathy.

Sincerely,
(signed) Larry Korb
