March 20, (1991 

I've enclosed for your review the briefs we filed in Chisom -

v. Roemer and HLA V. Attorney General of Texas. I've also enClosed 
a copy of the brief filed by United States ostensibly on our 
behalf. (You'll understand why I say "ostensibly" when you read 
it.) 

We plan to hold moot courts for these cases on April 8th at 
NYU, and April 17th at Howard Law School in D.C. I hope that you 
will be at the NYU moot. 

Julius Chambers will be arguing the HLA case. 
has been set for April 22nd in both cases. 

I will, of course, send you the defendants' 
receive them. Take care.
