                         Kashmir: Reward Offer  
 
 
 
Dr. Donald Hutchings, a respected American medical professional, was 
abducted by unknown persons on July 4, 1995, while trekking with his 
wife in the hill country of Kashmir. 
 
It has been more than 10 months since we have received any information 
on Dr. Hutchings or Keith Mangan, Paul Wells, and Dirk Hasert (citizens 
of the U.K. and Germany) who are believed to be with Dr. Hutchings. 
 
Dr. Hutchings' family, friends, and the U.S. Government are urgently 
seeking verifiable information on  Dr. Hutchings' whereabouts and 
condition. 
 
We are requesting that people who have such information come forward now 
to help us locate Dr. Hutchings.  Those who do provide information may 
be eligible for a substantial reward and possible relocation under the 
Counter-Terrorism Rewards Program. 
 
Information should be addressed to:
