Typed letter signed
Title: to Alex Haley
One letter addressed to Alex Haley from Burt Pines, Edward C. Farrell and Richard N. Grey of the Department of Water and Power in Los Angeles, California. Pertains to an anti-discriminatory case, "Dennison v. Department of Water and Power" where African-Americans and Mexican-Americans filed against the department's hiring practices. Refers to a worry that should the case be successful on behalf of the applicants that this will create a requirement that certain percentage of race and ethnic groups would have to be required in the work place. Requests his opinion and advice on the matter.
