JAMES KELLOCC MARK S. GOLDSTEIN March 4, L982 Napoleon B. Williams Legal Defense Fund Suite 2030 10 Columbus Circle New York, New York 10019 Dear Mr. Williams: On February L9, Robert Kwan of the Justice Department called and said that it was very important that we have maps of the Henderson PIan to him within the next two to three d.ays so that he could present them to the appropriate officials at the Justice Department. These maps were necessary in order to show that the Henderson Plan was not defective in some way and there- fore should not be compared to the state reapportionment p1an. At his request I contacted Gordon Henderson and asked him to prepare maps for the Justice Department's review. I ca11ed him on a Friday and told him that this had to be in the mail on I{onday. He cooperated immediately and forwarded these maps to the Justice Department. It a1so, had to make a trip to Baton Rouge to get a statewide map which I mapped out showing the districts as they appeared on a map similar to the one the Justice Department had. Alt of these maps were Federal Expressed to the Justice Department to enable them to make the appropriate comparisons of reapportion- ment p1ans. I am enclosing a bill from Gordon Henderson for the time expended in this matter. It was over and above the time spent which has already been bil1ed. I think its important to point out that this was done at the request of the Justice Depart- ment so there was rea1ly no choice in the matter whether this work should be done.
