Dear Lani-:
rhanks ror tnl *H:"X"* ffir:;";::,*Ir3iE';:if,';ilri31 n".
the Voting Rights Act passed. It was a difficult tasll
requiring a lot of talent and a superb touch ivhich each of
you brought to the job. I doubt seriously with.out your
effort that the result would be such a signi-fir;a.nt one and
one which ought to clear up in 25 years any 1-.rc:blems with
respect to voting.
Thanks, again. Hope all go.3s well.
As ever,
fl
