Dear Victor:

I welcome your suggestions for the NCBL National Convention
Voting Rights Workshop in Los Angeles on October 9, for which
you have agreed to be a panelist.

As we discussed September 15, the workshop audience will
probably includ.e a number of lawyers who are as interested
in the philosophy of blacks participating in the political
process as they are in the nuts and bolts of the Voting Rights
Act. On the other hand, if we are trying to develop a cad,re
of voting rights lawyers within NCBL, perhaps we need to offer
some focus to the discussion. We can attempt a mini-encyclo-
pedia of voting rights techniques, or we can confine ourselves
to one or two issues (registration barriers, at large elections,
the majority vote runoff). What are your views?

Please give me a call or drop me a line at your earliest con-
venLence.

Sincergly,//
