THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
AUSTIN 12
SCHOOL OF LAW
Dear Mr Clancy:
I am not situated so that I can be of
any value on your committee, as much as I
would like to help out. To handcuff ourselves
by such an amendment would be folly, but as
you suggest prejudices are blind. I suggest
that you invite Mr. C. F. Richards of Lockhart,
Texas to serve on your committee. He is a
former senator, lives thirty minutes from
Austin, the way he drives, and is well known
and highly regarded. He is a diamond in the
rough but very effective. Moreover even though
he is a wealthy lawyer with considerable oil
interests his political views are liberal. His
son is a fine fellow and one of the leaders in
the present le gislature. He was very effective
against the dixiecrats and in behalf of Truman in
the last campaign.
Thanking you for your invitation and
regretting that I cannot serve, I am
Sincerely been
Leon Green
