ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL 

Mr. Eric Schnapper 
Suite 2030 
10 Columbus Circle 
New York, New York 

Dear Eric: 

Thank you for your letter regarding City of 
Mobile v. Bolden, No. 77-1844 and Williams Vv. Brown, 
No. 78-357. The United States filed an amicus brief 
in Bolden in the Fifth Circuit, and I am enclosing a 
copy for your information. While we have had access 
to the Bolden record, we have not yet seen the Williams 
record. We are currently reviewing both cases in order 
to decide whether to recommend to the Solicitor General 
that we file in the Supreme Court. In the course of 
that review we may have occasion to take advantage of 
your kind offer to provide us materials relating to the 
cases. 

  

  

I appreciate your calling these cases to our 
attention and your offer of help. One of the Appellate 
Section attorneys who are assigned to these cases will 
be in touch with you shortly. 

Sincerely, 

Mw 
Drew S. Days, III 

Assistant Attorney General 
Civil Rights Division
