Re: Bradley v. Milliken
Dear Louis:

I am in receipt of the District Court’s January 13,
1975 Order in the above mentioned case. In that Order, District 
Judge Robert E. DeMascio ordered that a conference of all counsel 
take place in the City of Detroit fourteen (14) days following 
the day of the Order.

As yet, I have not heard from you as to your pleasure 
in convening such a meeting. We telephoned your office on 
Tuesday, January 21, 1975 in order to ascertain the time and 
place of any proposed meeting or what your plans were. You were 
not in and no one was able to give us any answers to these 
questions. I am also advised that Mr. Theodore Sachs, representing 
the American Federation of Teachers, has also done the same.

As you know, the Detroit Board of Education has 
established an Office of Desegregation and is developing proposals 
in regard to the question of desegregation. We would like to 
confer with you concerning the same in order to be of maximum 
assistance to the Court.

I suggest a meeting on Monday afternoon, January 27, 1975. 
1 shall be glad to arrange for space either in my office, at the 
Detroit Bar 7\ssociation1 s offices, or at some other convenient 
location-in Detroit.

Please call my office as soon as possible so that we can
make the appropriate arrangements.

Very truly yours,

GTR:mp
cc: Honorable Robert E. DeMascio 

All Counsel of Record
