Not own work, no source, bogus license. Yann (talk) 15:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
This image was also created by me personally from the copy of the original letter which I hand carried from Syed Salahuddin to President Clinton. This document exists in my personal archives and the image was generated by me to emphasize existence of the peace offer made by a Kashmiri leader that requested the American president's personal support. This letter proves important assertions in the Kashmir section of article "Mansoor Ijaz". I scanned a copy of the letter into a JPEG image and placed it in the article to give a controversial subject matter verifiable context in image form. The original letter exists in the archives of the United States government. I believe I have the right to license this as my own work since I personally delivered the letter and it exists in my private archives and is also in the public domain.

Resubmitted license under {{PD-USGov-POTUS}} as this image is of a letter that User:Mansoor Ijaz hand-delivered to President Clinton at the Executive Office of the President (Chief of Staff's office), and is therefore part of POTUS' official records. Mansoor Ijaz (talk) 09:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- This is not a work from an employee of the US government. It is a letter TO Clinton. The copyright belongs to Sayed Salahuddin. A permission is needed. Yann (talk) 17:10, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- The original copy of this letter exists in my archival records on the Kashmir Peace Process since I was one of the architects of the effort. I drafted the text of the letter as Salahuddin was not fluent in certain aspects of the English language. It would be impossible to reach him for such a request 13 years after the effort was made. I annotated the license to the White House because the document exists in White House archives (now probably somewhere in the Clinton library) and I was allowed by a White House official at the time to keep my copy of the original letter. Mr Salahuddin is a Kashmiri freedom fighter who does not frequent Wikimedia discussions of this type. Please advise on how we resolve this as this is material that is of significant historical importance.
