THE WHITE house J.R. WASHINGTON January 29, 1970 MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT The major focus of concern of those looking over the briefing material is the public schools question - - which ex-Governor Wallace has already seized as his horse to ride in coming months, if not years. After conferring with Dent and Garment, the following is my recommended response, to the question: Q. Mr. President: In response to the Supreme Court's desegregation orders, a mood of defiance appears to be growing in the South, Governor Kirk says he will go to jail rather than give way; Governor McKeithen is encouraging resistance; Governor Maddox is march- ing in the streets. What is your reaction? A. I am aware of these statements; it remains my hope that the court orders can and will be carried out -- peaceably. The recent record of southern communities, under similar court orders, such as Mississippi, is, I think, grounds for hope. We must remember that we are a nation of laws; and a democratic people cannot choose which laws it will obey and disobey if it is to remain a democratic people. For our part, this Administration will carry out the law as laid down by the court -- that is our constitutional obligation.
