re. 

Dear friends: 

Hunt v. Cromartie, No. 98-85 (US Sup Ct), [LCCR VR 98-14] 

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is considering 

filing an amicus brief in this case. 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. 

The Committee was formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy 

 



  

Sincerely, 

Edward Still
