We would argue for a reversal of the decision below. Under Supreme Court Rule 37.3, I request that you send me your written consent to file the brief (which I will not use if your motion to intervene 1s denied). I note that you were kind enough to agree to our filing an amicus brief in Shaw v. Hunt, No. 94-923. I trust that you will not have an objection to our doing so this time.
