AFFIDAVIT OF FINANCIAL STATUS

I, Michael Williams, declare that I am the Defendant in the above-entitled proceeding. I
 am not an attorney, do not have the funds necessary to retain one, have not been
 appointed one despite my many persistent requests, and am thus being forced to prepare
 this Financial Affidavit myself, without the assistance of counsel, even though I am not
 qualified to do so. I am preparing this Affidavit to the best of my ability with information
 obtained in a telephone conversation with the Pro Se Clerk for the United States Court of
 Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, Illinois, who insisted upon remaining anonymous.

I am complying to the best of my ability with a request made in a document from the
 Court dated 18. May 1995 and received via surface mail on 13. July 1995. This affidavit
 is not intended for frivolous or malicious reasons, but merely to assist litigant in securing
 his full Civil Rights and to secure redress of grievances.

I.      MARITAL STATUS
        I am married.

II.     RESIDENCE
        My street address is: Falkenweg 15, CH-3110 Muensingen, Switzerland.
        My mailing address is: Postfach 20, CH-3112 Allmendingen bei Bern,
        Switzerland

III.    EMPLOYMENT
        I am presently unemployed with the exception of occasional private languae
        students, whose tutelage is independently administered for a token emolument.



IV.     FINANCIAL STATUS
        A.)     Real Property:
                        1.      I own no real property.

        B.)     Other Property:
                        1.      I own no other property of significant value, due to the
                                F.B.I.'s  seizure of all of my property at the time of my
                                arrest on 18. March 1988 at my home in Evergreen,
                                Colorado.

        C.)     Cash on hand:
                        1.      I have approximately the following amount in cash:
                                $1,330.00 (converted to approximate U.S. dollars from
                                Swiss francs)
                        2.      I have no funds in chequing accounts.

        D.)     Obligations:
                        1.      The support of a wife.
                        2.      The support of three minor children, one of whom was
                                recently born prematurely at the most dangerous stage of
                                gestation, and who had to spend several weeks in an
                                incubator in intensive care, and who is under constant
                                doctor's care. Some money required for the support of
                                this child has had to be sacrificed to pay for the expences
                                of maintaining this case, since the Court has refused to
                                assist indigent Defendant in any way.

                        3.      Supplemental assistance to an elderly, severely physically
                                handicapped aunt/legal guardian.
                        4.      Medical insurance for my family and I.
                        5.      Medical and dental expences not covered by insurance for
                                my family and I.
                        6.      Personal medical and dental expences not covered by
                                insurance for health problems directly attributed to the
                                severe physical and psychological torture I was subjected to
                                during my lengthy incarceration under barbaric conditions.
                        7.      Monthly rent of a 2 1/2 room flat.

- 2 -
                        8.      Monthly utilities.
                        9.      Expences required to maintain my defence of this case,
                                including:
                                        a.)     Domestic and international postage.
                                        b.)     Stationery and other writing supplies.
                                        c.)     Domestic and international telephone
                                                expences.
                                        d.)     Computer operation and supplies.
                        10.     Public transportation expences.
                        11.     Clothing.
                        12.     Groceries.

        E.)     Sources of income other than those listed above:
                I have no other sources of income than those listed above. I have never
                begun to recover from the F.B.I's wanton unlawful seizure of all of my
                assets and personal property and the two years of torture I suffered in
                federal prison which destroyed my physical health. I am dependent on
                doctor's care. Since moving to Switzerland, I have occasionally earned
                some pocket money as a part-time, usually self-employed language
                instructor, but never enough to support myself or my dependents. I am
                often unemployed, usually due to my state of ill health, and, as a formerly
                self-employed foreigner, I am not entitled to any government-paid
                unemployment benefits, whatsoever. My wife, who, up unto now, has
                earned nearly all the money in our household, and has been forced to pay
                for nearly all our family's expences, has just lost her job, and is now
                unemployed, as well. My family will thus be forced to somehow exist on
                my wife's unemployment benefits. Our baby is forced to sleep on a used
                mattress on the floor of our bedroom. Not only are we financially unable
                to rent a larger apartment with a separate bedroom for the baby, we are
                financially unable to purchase a proper baby bed or new clothing, and
                must accept donated used clothing.

                Shortly after my arrival in Switzerland from the U.S. on or about 12. June
                1991, my court-appointed attorney, William J. Stevens, informed me in a



- 3 -
                telephone conversation that the U.S. Attorney's Office and F.B.I., with
                whom he is in obvious collaboration, had instructed him to relay the
                message to me, that if I were ever to return to my homeland, the United
                States, I would be placing my "life and freedom in the greatest possible
                jeopardy". This threat, often repeated by Mr. Stevens, has caused my
                family and I to live in fear for nearly five years, and has affected us in
                many negative ways, including financially.

                On or about 23. January 1993, I had a telephone conversation with my
                elderly aunt/legal guardian, Dorothy P. Hilgadiack, who resides in
                Indianapolis, Indiana. After my arrest, she had been terrorised by a
                menacing visit from the F.B.I., whom we both believe still unlawfully
                monitor her telephone calls and mail. She was very upset and crying,
                because she has not seen me, the man she raised as and considers her own
                son, for several years, as a direct result of the above-mentioned threat
                made against me. She was also upset because she has not seen my two
                elder children in several years, after my ex-wife, with the apparent
                assistance of the F.B.I. and U.S. Probation Department, unlawfully
                obtained a divorce and kidnapped our two small children. She was
                scheduled to have another cataract operation, but stated that she did not
                "need" her eyes, because she could not see anyone she loved. Almost
                immediately after our conversation she suffered a near-fatal stroke. After
                nearly dying, she was sent home several weeks later, when it was
                determined nothing could be done for her. Her right side is now
                permanently paralyzed, and her speech abilities and memory seriously
                impaired. Due to the above-mentioned threat, my ill health and my
                poverty, all caused by the F.B.I., I am unable to visit my dying aunt. As
                the President of the United States, himself accused of far greater crimes
                than any I have been accused of, welcomes sinister foreign terrorists into
                the Oval Office, I, a native son, and a Champion of Democracy, am
                forbidden from paying a visit to my dying 78-year-old aunt, although I
                have only, in essence, as pointed out by Hon. George Marovich, been
                accused of presiding over a corporation which was behind in paying some
                computer paper bills. The only means of communication I have with her in
                the twilight of her life are expensive international telephone calls. She can
                hardly hold the telephone without assistance.

- 4 -
                Due to the continued violations of human rights against my family and I,
                on 15. May 1995, I filed a formal Human Rights complaint against the
                U.S. government with the United Nations Centre for Human Rights in
                Geneva, Switzerland.

                I reside in a meager 2 1/2 room flat which resembles a U.S. welfare
                housing project. My residence has no amenities which would be

                considered standard in the U.S. I do not have a dishwasher, air
                conditioner or even a clothes dryer.

                I do not own any stocks or bonds. I have no interests in trusts. I receive
                no commission, royalties or residuals.

Any and all assets possessed by my wife, a Swiss citizen, are her sole and separate
 property acquired prior to the time of our marriage.

The Court should be aware that my present indigent status is the direct result of the
 F.B.I.'s unlawful seizure of my property, which is the reason for this appeal. The
 financial status I have set forth in this affidavit does not include the assets and personal
 property seized by the F.B.I. at the time of my arrest on 18. March 1988. I have not
 included this property in this affidavit, as I do not have possession of it and do not know
 where it is. I would like to make it clear to the Court that if this confiscated property is
 returned, it could constitute a significant increase in my net worth, considering the F.B.I.
 has only chosen to reveal a portion of their seizure in the U.S. Attorney's motion. If all of
 this property is returned, I would be in a position to retain private counsel of my choice,
 which I have desired since the time of my arrest on 18. March 1988, and I will pay for
 the private counsel of my choice.

The foregoing is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge within the meaning of
 Title 28,  1915 (d).

                                                Respectfully submitted,





                                                MICHAEL WILLIAMS, in Pro Se
