Good morning. Will the Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security officially come to order? Unfortunately for the chairman, he could not be here; but, fortunately, for me, I am here, Congresswoman Corrine Brown. He was detained with important events in his district. Last September, the subcommittee held its first oversight hearing on the Department of Justice´s Asset Forfeiture Program. The subcommittee learned some important lessons from the rather poignant testimony: From Willie Jones we learned that it is not Ok for an African-American man to carry large sums of cash in this country. He had $9,000 in cash seized in a Nashville airport because he bought a round-trip ticket to Houston with cash to buy shrubbery for his nursery. His behavior was considered suspicious and corresponding to a profile of drug courier activity. He could not afford to post bond to secure his right to his property. But he was represented pro bono, and in April won his case. From Mary and Carl Shelden, we learned that now you have to investigate the person who wants to buy your house. They sold their house in California and took back a mortgage on it from the buyer. The buyer was later indicted on criminal charges, and the house was seized. The Sheldens were never given official notice and were not allowed to foreclose their property. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
