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
