SEP-21-99 TUE 12:54 PM FAX NO. 2023931324 P. 01 THE SMITH-FREE GROUP 1401 K Street, N.W. 12th Floor TELEPHONE Washington, DC 20005 FACSIMILE 202/393-4760 202/393-3516 September 21, 1999 FAX NOTE FOR LYNN CUTLER FROM: JIM FREE June BOB HICKMOTT Twtt As you'll recall, our firm represents the Paucatuck Pequot Tribe of North Stonington, Connecticut here in Washington. This morning the tribal council issued locally a public statement announcement a development agreement that their government has entered into with the Trump Organization of New York. Accordingly, we wanted to provide you with a "heads-up" on this positive transaction for the Paucatuck people; their press release is attached for your review. In their decision-making process, the Paucatuck government placed heavy emphasis on their desire to work with an experienced U.S. based investor/developer (other Connecticut tribes partnered with non-U.S. financial backers, i.e.: the Mashantucket Pequots = an Malaysian/Asian conglomerate, the Mohegans = South African based Sun International). Best regards.
