Dougherty © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com A Los Angeles attorney is criticizing the Office of Independent Counsel for failing to act on his Freedom of Information Act request to see the original copy of a two-page medical report -- which reportedly contains controversial information -- on the death of former White House Counsel Vincent Foster. Attorney Allan J. Favish is interested in viewing the original Foster medical report, authored by Dr. Donald Haut -- the only medical doctor to evaluate Foster after his death -- because, he says, the report is "internally contradictory." The Haut Report, as it is known, was signed July 20, 1993 -- the day Foster died. Favish claims the report said the fatal shot was "mouth-to-head," but that page two of the report describes the shot as "mouth-to-neck." "The Haut Report has not been reproduced in any published government report," Favish maintains, "but it is available from the National Archives, and it was quoted in the Senate Banking Committee's January 1995 report on the Foster investigation." The Los Angeles attorney said the Senate mentioned the Haut Report as concluding that Foster's mortal wound was a "perforating gunshot wound mouth-head." However, the Senate also noted that in a written narrative of the same report, Dr. Haut said: "JULY 20, 1993 -- After anonymous call was received at 18:04 hours U.S. Park Police officers found 48 yrs Caucasian male with self-inflicted gunshot wound mouth to neck on a foot path in Marcy Park [sic]. His car was parked in the parking lot but no note was found. MEDICAL HISTORY Unknown." "Therefore, inexplicably, the Senate report quoted from both pages of the Haut Report, but failed to note that the quoted language is internally contradictory," Favish contends. Based on this discrepancy, Favish said he filed a FOIA request to see the original Haut Report, but was denied by the Office of Independent Counsel. "In defiance of the Freedom of Information Act, without citing any of the exemptions from disclosure contained within the Act, and falsely stating that it 'has not previously withheld any information sought by' me, the Office of Independent Counsel refuses to allow the public to inspect the original version of the two-page medical report about Vincent Foster's death, commonly referred to as the 'Haut Report,'" Favish said in a statement released to WorldNetDaily. In addition to the descriptive differences Favish said exist within the document, he maintained that his request should not have been denied by the Office of Independent Counsel because: "A copy of the Haut Report has been officially released to the public without any official redaction. "There is information on the original version of the Haut Report that is not available on the [public] copy of the report, namely, the nature of the apparent alteration of language on page one of the report that purportedly describes Foster's fatal wound. It is impossible to tell from the publicly available copy whether the apparent alteration is the result of an erasure, the application of correction fluid or something else, and what, if anything, is written underneath any such correction fluid." "That information only can be obtained by inspecting the original version of the Haut Report," Favish said. "By refusing to allow the public to inspect the original, the OIC is withholding information. Therefore, the OIC is legally obligated to allow the public to inspect it." The cause of Foster's death, which repeatedly has been ruled a suicide by federal investigators, including the OIC under the leadership of Kenneth Starr, is still in dispute. The former White House counsel was a boyhood friend of Bill Clinton. Jon E.
