There could not have been a conspiracy between Britain and the ...
A letter by Mr Frederick Kissoon captioned "How can Mr Chavez lecture the world on American imperialism when his government bullies its small neighbour?" (07.03.07) claimed that the Severo Mallet-Prevost memorandum, published after his death, accused the United States of conspiring with Britain in the 1899 award. This is not true. The Mallet-Prevost memorandum, published in the American Journal of International Law in July 1949, actually accused the Russian President of the arbitration tribunal, Mr Fyodor Fyodorovich de Martens (Frederic de Martens), of making a deal with Britain which robbed Venezuela in the final award. I will show that events leading up to the 1899 award revealed that the United States was clearly on the side of Venezuela in the border controversy.
State Farm sending out letters
State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. has begun notifying policyholders they can have their Hurricane Katrina claims re-evaluated. The first round of letters will go out today to more than 1,000 policyholders left with only slabs after the storm, according to a company news release. By the end of April, a total of about 35,000 State Farm policyholders will receive the letter explaining the re-evaluation plan and how to participate. "While State Farm has already paid more than $1.2 billion to help Mississippi policyholders rebuild from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, this agreement was reached in an effort to resolve any remaining questions or differences of opinion in a fair and efficient manner," a company news release says. State Farm will commit a minimum of $50 million to the plan and has agreed to pay slab owners a minimum of 35 percent of their structural policy limits, minus flood or other insurance payments received.
