Mr. Farley:

It has been brought to my attention that you are using public resources of the University of Nevada to hyperlink visitors to Salon Magazine in regard to Representative Chenoweth (http://pauli.physics.unlv.edu/~farley/humor/sex/chenoweth.html). I respectfully ask you to remove the link for the following reasons:

1. Helen admitted she made a mistake. She did not commit perjury. She did not lie under oath. And she does not have a history of sexual addiction as does President Clinton. Have you ever heard of repentance? I suggest you take a close look at the true meaning of that word.

2. I do not think it is appropriate for a professor using the University's >resources and website to have a link on such a topic to a slanted, left-wing tabloid.

You have every right in the world to say what ever you like as underlined in the Constitution. However, it is another matter when you use a public supported website to express your agenda. I hope this is not a normal practice of other professors at the university. I look forward to your response to this matter and hope that we can resolve this relatively soon. If you prefer, please call me directly at (202) 225-6611.

Respectfully,

Kyle Key
Communications Director
U.S. Representative Helen Chenoweth
