Mrs. Mary-Jane^Grunsfeld,
Directer, Clearing House,
American Council on Race Relations,
32 West Randolph Street,
Chicago 1, Illinois.
Dear Mrs. Grunsfeld:
I have your telegram requesting a copy of
the President's directive to Attorney General Tom
x10 missel
Clark in regard to the recent happenings in Georgia.
The following is the text of the Attomey
General's remarks:
"I have talked with the President regarding
this case, and he has expressed to me his horror at
the crime and his sympathy for the families of the
victims. I have asked that the Department report its
progress in the investigation, and proceed with all
its resources to investigate this and any other
crimes of oppression to ascertain if any Federal
statute can be applied to the apprehension and
prosecution of the criminals.'
This was released, not by our office, but
by the Department of Justice. Therefore, I have
contacted the Public Relations office in the Department,
and they are sending a copy of the di rective to you.
Mr. Nash is out of the city, but if I can be
of any further help, do not hesitate to write me.
Sincerely,
KATHLEEN POTTS
Secretary to Mr. Nash
