Ny dear Friend:
I appreciate your interest in the case of Felix Longoria,
whose family was denied wee of the funeral home chapel at
Three Rivers, Texas.
My acquaduntence with the facte of the case is simply
that x was notified by the President of the Veterane Organ-
isation at Corpus Chrieti of the refusal of the funeral home
to handle this veteran's body. Upon learning of this x ande
arrangements for him to be reburied in Arlington's National
Cemetery or at Fort Sam Houston Military Cemetery in San
Antonio. Private Longoria's vidow informed me the next day
that she would like to have her mubband buried hore at
Arlington.
Naturally, all the arrangemente about the funeral, in-
cluding the date, will be left entirely for the vidow to
decide. I am mure she vill appreciate knoving of your
thoughtful and helpful interest, and if there is any way
in which you or your organization can be of assistance, I
vill let you know.
with ay best regards,
Sincerely
Lyndon n. Johnson
