MEMORANDUM TO THE secretary OF DEFENSE:
On March 15th I forwarded to you proposed letters
to the Governors of Connecticut and Minnesota on the
question of Negroes in the National Guard and at your
request I forwarded them to Mr. Clifford for consideration
on March 22nd.
On April 19th you forwarded no a follow-up letter
from Covernor Youngdahl of Minnesota and on that date I
sent it to Mr. Clifford for information. Up to this time
I have not been authorized to dispatch the letters.
The letters of the 22nd of March are now somewhat
outmoded and I suggest that I be authorised to dispatch
promptly letters to the two Governors in accordance with
copies attached hereto. I feel it would be desirable
that these letters be dispatched tomorrow or next day
if possible.
(signed) kenneth C. ROYALL
