Jeff,

There are several objections to the PSR that we will take up tomorrow. The following are
not listed as objections but | think create an erroneous impression or confusion for the BOP
and should be corrected in the final version:

Paragraphs 333,337 (4x), and 341 (2x) refer to Capps as a Congressman. A Congressman
is someone who is in Congress — the body that meets in Washington. Capps was in the
State of Kansas legislature, and as such is more properly referred to as a Legislator. | am
concerned that “Congressman” references may leave BOP with a misapprehension.
