re: Dillard v Crenshaw, C.A. No. 85-T-1332-N 

Dear folks: 

Enclosed is a copy of a letter I have just sent to the 
Justice Department regarding two Section 5 submissions by 
Escambia County. Your copy of the letter does not include the 
two decrees from Dillard of which you already have copies. I 
have enclosed for you copies of Acts 86-721 and 86-722. 

If the Justice Department preclears these, we should move 
for additional relief in Dillard to block the implementation of 
the at-large chairman and enter into negotiations about the terms 
and conditions of the referendum. 

Sincerely, 

2 
Edward Still
