Dear Mr. King:
Thank you for sending me your comments regarding the necessity of the decision I had to make in the difficult Arkansas situation. I appreciated your thoughtful expression of the basic and compelling factors involved.
I share your confidence that Americans everywhere remain devoted to our tradition of adherence to orderly processes of law.
Sincerely,
