LesarUDrenseH" January 17, 1985 Noble Enterprises Iv1r. Uige1 Noble 53 Cheever Place Brooklyn, N. Y. 11231 Dear l"lr. Noble: I enclose a copy of the release as I propose to amend it. John Hoffman suggested I forward this to you for review by your lawyers. As f told IvIr. Hoffman, my primary con- cern is with the substance of the profile. I would like an opport,unity to view the documentary prior to its final edit or airing to reassure myself of two things: (1) that this is not a celebrity profile about me but a serious look at the work of a civil rights lawyer, and, 12) tnat the documentary does not contain any grievous errors or distortions regarding the work that I do. I am very impressed with your initial concept as well as your commitment to educational yet inspirational film- making. I just want to 1ay out in advance the nature of my concerns to avoid subsequent misunderstandings. Please let me know whether there are any problems with the release as mod.ified. I look forward to working with you.
