Re: Major v. Treen 
  

Dear Lani: 

I looked through Bruneau's deposition and did not find the quote that Jim 

had mentioned. There is same language in his deposition that indicates that 

during the reapportionment process, he spent all his time on the state house 

reapportiormment and not congressional reapportiorment. If this language will 

help you at all, please let me know and I will make copies of those portions 

of his deposition. 

In reference to the timeliness of his Motion to Intervene, the following 

chronology is important. Charles Emile Bruneau, Jr., better known as the 

infamous "Peppi" Bruneau submitted to a deposition in the Major case on 

Tuesday, December 14, 1982. Additionally, Mr. Bruneau testified at trial in 

Major on March 8, 1983 and his testimony can be found in the transcript of 

that day's testimony at pages 226 to 278. 

I hope this information is helpful to you Lani, and if there is anything 

else you need, please let me know. 

Very truly yours,
