Statement by Jack Greenberg, director-counsel 
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. 

March 20, 1969 

Today's NEW YORK TIMES quotes Mr. Russell xX. Thompson of 
Memphis, Tenn., to the effect that the NAACP Legal Defense 
Fund is "supporting his inquiry" into the events surrounding 
the assassination of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Though it is generally known that Mr. Thompson has discussed 
certain facets of his investigation with us, we have made no 
decision to support Mr. Thompson's inquiry or indeed the 
investigative efforts of any private individual. We think 
that anyone having information bearing on Dr. King's assas— 
sination should give it to the appropriate law enforcement 
authorities as we have urged Mr. Thompson to do. 

The Legal Defense Fund, however, is concerned that all questions 
regarding Dr. King's assassination be fully explored by the 
authorities and that resolution of the many doubts remaining 
be made by the responsible agencies.
