Letter
from Harley Coon to Mr. Pembroke, IRS:
[KWE Note: This letter refers to Form 2848 "Power of Attorney
and Declaration of Representative" that was signed by Harley
J. Coon, President, on 27 July 98. Form 2848 authorized Stan Myrda,
Nicholas J. Pappas, and Edward Magill as representatives for the
KWVA. Sometime between the date he signed the document and February
25, 2000, Coon apparently changed his mind about the designated appointees.]

Re: Korean War Veterans Association EIN #14167031
Dear Mr. Pembroke
The purpose of this letter is to clarify any misunderstanding
that may exist as to the legality or effectiveness of an IRS form
2848 (copy enclosed) signed by me as president of the KWVA on July
27, 1998.
Be advised that our association does not consider this form to
be of any validity or legality. It was not properly executed so
as to constitute authority for anyone to represent the KWVA in
matters before the IRS. The form is not signed by two of parties
listed as expressly required in part 11 of the form and although
signed by Nicholas J. Pappas that individual was not qualified
to so serve by being in any of the categories of persons listed
in part 11 of the form. As a director and Past President, he was
not an "officer-a- bona fide officer" of our organization
as specified and defined in our By-laws.
CPA Andrew H. Scholes 2810 Wayne Ave Dayton, OH 45420-0063 has
been retained as our association accountant and if any matters
arise which require corponsence [sic] with the IRS we will at time
designate him as our representative with power of attorney for
conducting business with the IRS. If a more formal designation
such as the execution of your form 2848 is required please provide
us with copies of that form for proper execution and we will return
to your office.
Respectfully,
(signed) Harley J. Coon
