I/1"^o /*^ o Lanl Gulnler March 26, L984 C1yde, I have reviewed this reguest for assistane. f an inclined against o:r parlicipation at tJlis stage for serreraJ- reasons. First, our budget- arlz sitr:ation does not make it easy to assure rrDre reslDnsilcilities. Seond, ttrey are seeking a oonsid- erable anount of financial support. Third, f rrould prefer to get in- rrclned rigtrt no,s in novel 52 cases : suctr as those drallenging registna- tion practies or seond prirmries. Finally, rrnless )u: or sqreone else on staff wants to get inrrcIved in t].is caserr,e rould sirrply be bank- rclU-ng loca1 ounsel. ft looks lile an excellent case, trcr^rever, and if we ould convince sorreone on staff (sudr as penda) rfto is loking for a winnable case for a drange to get inrrclrved, I rculd reonsider ntrr orttrer objections. 9trat are your ttrougfits? Q,rylx Ifi/r Attach k: Tallatrassee Branctr of UAICP v. Leon 6unty, !b. 83-7480
