F (See attached list) February 2, 1966 
With return of stable weather conditions down there in the nation's 

® capital, we are rescheduling our cancelled press conference which 
‘will now be held Thursday, February 3rd at 11 A M, in the Congressional ‘Room of the Hotel Willard, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, Wash: ngton. 
As we advised you before, the "substitute parent” policies of Arkansas and Georgia {and many other states) interfere with the right of 
privacy and free association of welfare clients in a manner which 
frustrates both the purposes of the AFDC program and the protections 
of the Fourteenth Anendment. When a needy mother whose husband is 
dead, divorced, or has deserted wishes to develop a friendship with an 
unrelated man, she must consider a series of difficult personal 
decisions which are completely unknown by other citizens. These 
patterns, which represent an evolving trend, will be attacked in 
the press conference Thursday morning. (ii AM
