willis M. Everett, Jr., Esq.,
First National Bank Building,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Everett:
This is to acknowledge your letter of January 24, 1949, con-
cerning a proposed application to the International Court of Jus-
tice on behalf of certain German nationals convieted and sentenced
for war crimes, and requesting that the Attorney General appoint
counsel to present the matter to the International Gourt. Acknow-
ledgment is also made of your letter to the President, dated Janu-
ary 24, 1948, in which a similar request is made, and which has
been referred to this Department.
Careful consideration has been given to your communications.
No facts or information have been presented, however, affording a
basis for any such action on the part of the Attorney General or
the President. In particular, no presentation has been made of the
theory upon which you believe that the International Court of Jus-
tice would have jurisdiction over such a case.
I trust you will understand, therefore, that under these cir-
cunstances I cannot recommend to the Attorney General that he take
action upon your request, or that he advise the President to take
such action.
Sincerely yours,
ARCHIVES "NATIONAL SERVICE'* RECORDS AND
George T. Washington,
Assistant Solicitor Genersl.
