Re: Civ. Act. No. 87-3854-F, Jones v. Edwards

Dear Judge McNamara:

f am enclosing a copy of the comment plaintiffs
have filed today with the Department of Justice.
Plaintiffs continue to take the position that the
materials provided to the Department by the Registrar
and Mr. Habans do not constitute a submission under 28
C.F.R. part 51 and that the Department therefore lacks
the power to preclear the Registrar's actions.

Copies of this letter, plaintiffs' letter to Lora
Tredway, and the comment have been sent to counsel for
all parties.

Rg,gpectfully,

,kd$*,Gu-
Counsel for Plaintiffs
