MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
JOHN O. MARSH, JR.
THRU:
WILLIAM J. BAROODY, JR
FROM:
PAT LINDH
The purpose of this memorandum is to advise you of the numerous
comments I have received regarding the nomination of a successor
to Justice Douglas.
Letters and phone calls have been coming in from women's organiza-
tions and from leaders throughout the country urging the appointment
of a woman to the Supreme Court. A number of groups have submitted
names of women for consideration.
It has also been brought to my attention that two or three of the
candidates on the Attorney General's list are opposed to the Equal
Rights Amendment, which really puts us in double jeopardy.
You have been forthright in your many statements concerning the
status of women in our society. International Women's Year and
our Bicentennial have served to highlight both the achievements and
the aspirations of women.
I realize that you have many factors to consider in making this
appointment. But, all else being equal, your nomination of a
properly qualified woman for the Supreme Court would be
appropriate and just.
