II. Notice of Proposed Debarment
A. Reasons for and Cause of Debarment
The Commission has established
procedures to prevent persons who have
‘‘defrauded the government or engaged
in similar acts through activities
associated with or related to the schools
and libraries support mechanism’’ from
receiving the benefits associated with
that program.20 As provided by your
December 8, 2003 plea agreement upon
which your conviction is based, you
pleaded guilty to a felony information
charging you with conspiracy in
violation of 18 U.S.C. 371.21 The felony
information alleges that in 2000, the
Harrisburg (Pennsylvania) School
District awarded a multi-million dollar
E-Rate contract to you and EMO
Communications, Inc. (‘‘EMO’’) for the
development and installation of an
educational technology system for the
school district; that a grant from the ERate program funded a substantial
portion of the cost of this contract; that
you and EMO received payments from
the E-Rate program only after John
Weaver, Information Technology
Director for the school district, certified
that you and EMO had performed
specified work under the contract; and
that you agreed to make kickback
payments of more than $1.9 million to
Weaver while he processed
certifications that were essential to you
in obtaining E-Rate funded payments on
the contract.22 The felony information
charges you, Weaver, and others with
conspiring to corruptly give, offer, and
agree to give things of value with the
intent to influence an agent of the
Harrisburg School District and in
furtherance of that conspiracy, causing
more than $1.9 million in payments to
be made to Weaver.23 Pursuant to your
plea agreement, you have pleaded guilty
to the charge of conspiracy set forth in
the felony information. These actions
constitute the conduct or transactions
upon which this debarment proceeding
is based.24 Moreover, your conviction
on the basis of these acts falls within the
categories of causes for debarment
defined in § 54.521(c) of the
Commission’s rules.25 Therefore,

25 ‘‘Causes for suspension and debarment are the
conviction of or civil judgment for attempt or
commission of criminal fraud, theft, embezzlement,
forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of
records, making false statements, receiving stolen
property, making false claims, obstruction of justice
and other fraud or criminal offense arising out of

pursuant to § 54.521(a)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, your conviction
requires the Bureau to commence
debarment proceedings against you.
B. Debarment Procedures
You may contest debarment or the
scope of the proposed debarment by
filing arguments and any relevant
documentation within 30 calendar days
of the earlier of the receipt of this letter
or of publication in the Federal
Register.26 Absent extraordinary
circumstances, the Bureau will debar
you.27 Within 90 days of receipt of any
opposition to your suspension and
proposed debarment, the Bureau, in the
absence of extraordinary circumstances,
will provide you with notice of its
decision to debar.28 If the Bureau
decides to debar you, its decision will
become effective upon the earlier of
your receipt of a debarment notice or
publication of the decision in the
Federal Register.29
C. Effect of Debarment
If and when your debarment becomes
effective, you will be prohibited from
participating in activities associated
with or related to the schools and
libraries support mechanism for at least
three years from the date of
debarment.30 The Bureau may, if
necessary to protect the public interest,
extend the debarment period.31
