Nomination for Chrysler Award for Innovation in Design
William H. Payne and Arthur R. MoralesWilliam Payne and Arthur Morales have for several years researched, planned, designed, implemented and financed an extraordinary and exemplary public information and education campaign to demonstrate the tools, procedures and legal mechanisms by which citizens may constructively challenge two of the most powerful and secretive governmental agencies in the world, the National Security Agency and Sandia National Laboratory.
Payne is a former senior scientist at Sandia who worked on highly classified projects involving covert intelligence and controls for nuclear weapons. Morales is currently employed there as a specialized technician.
Documents which describe the Payne/Morales information and education campaign and Payne's distinguished scientific career and bibliography in fundamental computer programming and cryptography are available on the Internet at:
http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm
The National Security Agency (www.nsa.gov:8080) is the leading US agency for assurance of military and governmental communications security (COMSEC), for the US global electronic interception program (ECHELON), for electronic intelligence (SIGINT, ELINT, RADINT), for advanced cryptology, and for computer and internet security.
Sandia National Laboratories (www.sandia.gov) is the premier US nuclear weapons research laboratory, and also performs highest classified national security research for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, Departments of Defense and Energy, and other clients in theoretical science and advanced technology.

Type of Design Governmental AccountabilityIn Your Opinion, Nominee's Most Significant Works:
"Assassination Politics," a design for enhanced governmental accountability.
Please attach a brief explanation of why this individual or team deserves the award which will be read by the jury.
Nomination for Chrysler Award for Innovation in Design
James D. BellJames Bell is the designer/author/publisher of "Assassination Politics," an imaginative and sophisticated prospective for improving governmental accountability by way of a scheme for anonymous, untraceable political assassination. It is an intricately designed system to enhance public influence on government. It uses encryption, untraceable digital cash, anonymous communication, algorithmicly complex wagering and other unique technologies which have developed on the Internet. See the design:
http://jya.com/ap.htmMr. Bell is currently in prison for federal charges ostensibly unrelated to "Assassination Politics," but likely because of it. See documents on his design; the federal charges; court proceedings; his imprisonment, release, recent rearrest and rejailing; and his letter from jail outlining his views on governmental retaliation for his design for governmental accountability:

Mr. John Young Architect
251 West 89th Street - #6E
New York, NY 10024Dear John:
We are writing to invite you to serve as a member of the 1998 Nominating Committee for the Chrysler Award for Innovation in Design. As you may know, the Chrysler Award recognizes the design professions' foremost innovators, with a special dedication to finding designers (whether individuals or teams) who challenge the envelopes of their disciplines. The Chrysler Award is the only institution that acknowledges designers from each of the design disciplines - architecture, product design (excluding automotive), graphic design, landscape architecture and new media - as well as those designers who cross boundaries to invent new arenas for creativity. Your candidates will be judged on the basis of their body of work, and, with the exception of students, any North American is eligible.
In September, a jury comprised of distinguished practitioners and critics from the various design disciplines will convene at the Chrysler Corporation to select six winners from the candidates submitted by the Nominating Committee. Each of the six winners will receive a prize of $10,000 at a ceremony held in November in New York.
We hope that you will submit up to three nominations. To those of you who have sent nominations in the past, we urge you to send both new names and to resubmit those candidates about whom you feel strongly. Each year our deliberations are intense and many candidates come very close to winning. We are always disappointed when those "near misses" do not reappear the following year. (Also, please note that your participation in this process will in no way exclude you as a candidate should you be nominated.)
The deadline for this year's nominations is July 17th. Entry forms and a list of previous winners from the first five years of the Chrysler Award are included for your reference. Should you have any questions, please contact Vikki Hardy @ (248) 262-8643.
On behalf of the Chrysler Corporation, and ourselves, we thank you in advance for your participation. We truly believe that the Chrysler Award plays an important role in celebrating and encouraging the best in American design.
Sincerely,
Chee Pearlman Co-Chair
Leslie Gill Co-ChairP.S. Please join us in welcoming Leslie Gill as co-chair of the Chrysler Award jury. Michael Sorkin will continue to guide the Awards program through his role as a senior advisor on the Chrysler Award Advisory Committee.
