Julius—~ 

I called Larry Menafee on Monday to tell 

him of the decision to support his case (with cond- 

tions), because I knew he was anxious to file, 

and logistical problems here would prevent 

my sending the letter until the end of this week. 

He thought the terms were quite reasonable. 

Attached is a copy of the letter and (revised) 

cooperating attorney agreement. (I eliminated 

the provisions providing for LDF's payment of 

attorneys fees during the litigation). I submit 

both for your approval. 

I also called the lawyer on the Mississippi case 

and. told him we had several concerns about support- 

ing his suit, foremost of which was the number 

of lawyers presently involved. I told him I'd 

get back to him after we communicated further 

with the Lawyers Committee.
