________________________________ From: Boyle, Francis Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 10:06 AM To: 'fencepost at dailyherald.com' Subject: Ryan Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Valid In response to the 18 January letter by Mr. Dubinski, I thoroughly researched this matter before I first nominated Governor Ryan for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003. The Nobel Rules request that qualified Nominators keep their nomination papers confidential, which I have always done. However, Nominators can make public the fact that they have nominated someone for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has always accepted my five nominations of Governor Ryan as valid, and has always enrolled him on the annual lists of Nominees, some of whom were also made public by their respective Nominators. In accordance with their previous practice, I anticipate receiving an official letter from them in March indicating that Governor Ryan is in the running for the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize. I will be sure to send him a copy. Professor Francis A. Boyle University of Illinois College of Law in Champaign Francis A. Boyle Law Building 504 E.
