Exhibit 450 · Correspondence
Letter, Caplin & Drysdale (counsel for World Changers Church International) to Finance Committee staff; Grassley reply 2 July 2008
Finally, you noted that it is Senate Finance Committee’s position that the investigation does not implicate the First Amendment rights of the members of World Changers Church International.
Letter of 5 June 2008 from Marcus S. Owens (Caplin & Drysdale) to Theresa Pattara, recording counsel's account of the staff call, including the Committee's stated position on First Amendment concerns. The same packet holds Grassley's 2 July 2008 reply to Creflo and Taffi Dollar; its section 'First Amendment Concerns' begins 'There is no question in my mind about the strength of the First Amendment protections for religious liberty' (p. 3). Counsel's November 2007 and March 2008 letters are described in the packet and are not in it.
