In re:

Mr. Gerald I.I. Jones
Chief, Voting Section

State of North Carolina

Gentlemen

Under date of 22 September 1981 (Registered No. 28254) this office
submitted a schedule of Constitutional Amendments along with ballots
submitted to voters at each statewide election in which subject amend-
ments $7ere voted on.

At direction of counsel, Mr. James M. I.IaIlace, Deputy Attorney Gen-
eral for Legal Affairs, we are accumulating copies of the legislative
acts authorizing the vote on the submitted amendments. These Documents
will be transmitted under separate cover in a matter of a few days.

We are prompted to point out that Mr. Wa1lace, during a telephone
conversation with Mr. Reynolds, Iras totally unaware that there were amend-
ments other than the two submitted at an election held on 5 November 1968.
When he received our schedule of amendment elections Mr. Wallace requested
that we include in our letter that he in no way attempted to misrepresent
the facts to Assistant Attorney General Reynolds.

The amendment #2 voted on in 1968 was not previously submitted inas-
much as the writer interpreted the effect of the amendment to constltute
'no change in election or voting procedure.'
