Foley Tried To Rendezvous With 17 yr old At 96 Republican convention
Breaking: Foley tried to rendezvous at 96 Republican convention

The messages revealing possible contact between Foley and a page in San Diego just widened the trail and scope of who may have known of Foleys interest in young pages.

Mark Beck-Heyman, of San Diego, came to D.C in 1995, at 17 years of age to work as a congressional page, having been nominated by Congressman Brian Bilbray-R. And learned almost from day one that there was one person to be careful of: Rep. Mark Foley.

"When I got there, I was warned about Foley from former pages and cloakroom Republican staffers," said Beck-Heyman, who attended a Catholic high school at the time and was nominated for the page program by Republican Rep. Brian Bilbray, who then lived in Imperial Beach. "The warning was to watch out for him."

He provided The Washington Post with a handwritten letter that Foley had sent him after the page left Washington to return home to California, suggesting that they get together during the Republican National Convention in San Diego in 1996.

3. So, When Did He Turn 18?
Was it late in '95, After the convention, or was he still 17 when the invitation was made and pursued?
