Re: Major v. Treen   

Dear Marty: 

Please find enclosed the Notice of Deposition for the Governor inadvertently 

omitted from my November 10 letter to you. I am sorry for the inconvenience 

the omission caused. 

I'm a bit disturbed that my November 10 letter caused you consternation. It 

certainly was not intended to do so. I have found you to be very cooperative 

and thoughtful throughout this litigation, and I have attempted to reci- 

procate. As you know, litigation against an uncooperative attorney creates 

problems all around. Please be assured I did not intend to signal a change 

in our relationship by the letter. 

Our concern about continuing the trial date from January 31 is that we would 

be running into the time during which the Legislature meets. If we were not 

to go to trial until after they adjourn in July, the case might very well 

still be in litigation at the time of the next scheduled congressional elec- 

tions. We will be ready for trial on January 31, barring some unforeseen 
development, but if you seek a brief continuance and the trial can be 

scheduled within sixty (60) days of the current date, we would not oppose 

your request. My desire, however, is that if you are going to move to 

continue you do so as expeditiously as possible out of consideration for 

the number of people we expect will be witnesses. 

Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience. 

Sincerely, 

CHn~—
