3. THIS SAID, WE AGREE THAT IT IS VERY DESIRABLE THAT A PETITION FOR CLEMENCY FOR TACKLYN SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BEFORE THE

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE HEARS HIS APPLICATION. WE ARE DOUBTFUL WHETHER

IT WOULD BE PROPER TO SEEK TO ARRANGE A PETITION FROM THIS END

AND, IN ANY CASE, SEE NO REAL PROSPECT OF BEING ABLE TO DO SO, WE ARE, IN FACT, SURPRISED THAT MRS BROWN-EVANS HAS NOT SO FAR SENT I IN A PETITION SINCE WE HAD UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE WAS PLANNING TO DO SO IN JUNE (YOUR TELNO PERSONAL 15 AND YOUR LETTER OF 14 JULY).

WILL YOU BE STIMULATING HER TO SUBMIT PETITION WITHOUT WAITING

FOR THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE'S RULING ON TACKLYN'S APPLICATION?
