Actually when I wrote in my previous letter of
Two Outstanding Debts: "
.Yet later on I was having some problems with my other friend that caused the failure to get the book
.",
it was meant to keep secret about who was the other friend of mine that I meant. Because after all I would like to treat it as something of the past, without
having to create a sense like blaming anyone for my failure to get the book for my friend Raidy Noor.
Yet last night there was the new sticker at Fox News TV that seemed like telling me that the name of "that friend of mine"
has been found. The new sticker was about "
circuit city employees on the chopping block
.."
A few years after I was having a debt to my friend Raidy Noor, I wrote him lyrics for two songs, one of them was about the youth's love
on the race in the circuit, either car race or motorcycle race. After the two songs were recorded in the cassettes, and sold, I never asked for any payment of writing
those lyrics because I thought I still have a debt of the guitar chord book for Raidy, why should I ask for payment for those lyrics.
My other friend whom I had problem with was Choppy. He was a small boy, shorter than the average height of the
junior high school students. He lived at Madiun Street in the center of Jakarta. I once visited him in his house, it was an old house, his mother also an old woman with white hair,
while his father was unknown.
One day when I was walking home from school with Choppy and some other friends, he spotted the money I got from Raidy Noor in the pocket
of my shirt , and he shouted to the other friends: "Look, Firman has a lot of money!
.Let me have it,
..let me have it
..," he immediately grabbed the money
from my pocket.
At first I was trying to take it back, but then I remembered the grim look of his house, and his white hair skinny old mother who looked tired of him,
then I thought I should be better let him have the money as a gift from me.
On the other hand, I never told Raidy about that, because I was worry they would be in hostility. So I told Raidy that there was a problem in the
delivery of the book.
This secret has been kept for 35 years, and only now that I revealed it here.
I wish to pay it back to Raidy as soon as I own some money, hopefully multiplying it three or five times, as my gratitude for his kindness. Also with
my debt to Mr. Suwito D. related to the U.S. immigration visa

Clinton aids Vilsack with campaign debt
By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer
Tue Mar 27, 8:47 PM ET
DES MOINES, Iowa - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton
has agreed to help one-time candidate Tom Vilsack, who endorsed her on Monday, as he seeks to retire a campaign debt of more than $400,000.
Clinton spokesman Mark Daley said he was uncertain how Clinton would go about
raising money for Vilsack, but he conceded that at some point, she would have to contact her supporters. "Someone in
her shop is going to have to reach out,"Daley said.
Vilsack and his wife, Christie, endorsed Clinton in her bid for the Democratic nomination at
an Iowa news conference on Monday. Daley said there was no connection between the fundraising and the endorsement.
"There was no quid pro quo," Daley said. "They have a long history and
if she could be helpful she wants to be helpful."
The help for Vilsack comes as one of Clinton's top supporters in New Hampshire disputed
reports of another promise in exchange for an endorsement. Bill Shaheen, in an interview with The Associated Press, said suggestions
that he withheld his endorsement of Clinton until he was promised an ambassadorship were wrong.
"Did she promise (an ambassadorship)? No," Shaheen said. "That's not how
I work. I don't think Senator Clinton is thinking that far down the road and I would be disappointed if she was."

Shaheen joined the Clinton campaign last week as co-chairman of her national and
state campaigns. After the endorsement, Shaheen met with bloggers and told them if Clinton wins the White House, he wants to be part
of her team negotiating peace in the Middle East.
Last month, a key black Democratic leader in South Carolina negotiated a $10,000 per month
consulting contract with Clinton's campaign, a development that came to light when state Sen. Darrell Jackson endorsed the presidential hopeful.
The campaign denied there was any deal made for Jackson's endorsement.
Vilsack announced he would run for president on Nov. 30, about a month before the
end of his second term as governor. He ended his campaign Feb. 23, citing an inability to raise enough money.
The Vilsacks became among the most high-profile backers of Clinton's bid. Christie Vilsack
said is was a natural decision because her ties to Clinton date to the 1970s. At that time, Christie Vilsack's late brother, Tom, was
a lawyer who worked with Clinton during the Watergate-driven impeachment investigation.
In a letter to his backers in Iowa, Vilsack said he will go all out for Clinton.
"Christie and I plan on spending the next 10 months helping Hillary win the Iowa caucuses
and the other states necessary to win the Democratic nomination and after that the White House in 2008," Vilsack said.

Last night there was another interesting news at the new sticker of Fox News TV, about
Senator Hillary Clinton agreed to help one-time candidate Tom Vilsack, who endorsed her on Monday, for his campaign debt of
more than $400,000. The amount of 400 is like the title of the book I owe my friend Raidy, the 4400 Guitar Chord.
And most of all it has nothing to do with my self in political matter,
because I have no interest to enter politics. I need to remind about this "no politics of mine"
matter, because by the time I was working this part, a man behind me talked on the phone mentioning:
" Why not doing it for your self.....". He could be from the team of "character assasination
on firman", trying hard to push me to admit my being a badman,.....after all I am
not a handsome man, so it would be fine with me for a person like him to talk bad about my self........
