By Executive Order of December fifth, I have created a
Committee to be known as the President's Committee on Civil Rights,

I am enclosing, for your information, a copy of the
Executive Order, as well as a copy of my statement issued in
announcing the creation of the Committee. A list of the members
of the Committee and their addresses is also attached.
The work to be undertaken is fully set forth in the Order,
and I very much hope that the Committee can be organized at an early
