Dear Charles:

Enclosed is a copy of my letter to John Roper along with a
copy of the Advisory Opinion to which I refer in that letter. I
didn't want toburden you with the 137 page Supreme Court ruling
but I can assure you that it represents a sad commentary on the
status of personal liberty in this nation. I might note paren-
thetically that the dissenting opinion by Chief Justice Burger
has a sound. hard-core defense of the right to free expression
that has been so badly trampled by Congress and now the Supreme
Court.

I am pleased, however, that we received a favorable decision
on our Advisory Opinion request and that the limits on individual
expenditures no longer exist.

I have enclosed some of our newest literature for your peru-
sal. I am pleased with the reception we have gotten on it and
would be interested in any comments you may have. I hops you re-
ceived the other literature safely and have had a chance to see
the film clip offour convention.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Edward H. Crane, 
National Chairman
