In the letter Strickland complains about a recent newspaper article, which described the Commission as "the state's super-secret spy agency." Strickland argues that the journalist misquoted him and reported hearsay rather than fact. He gives rebuttals to several "unsupported statements" made in the article, including the accusation that the many of the Commission's activities were racially motivated: "We have never made any investigation on the basis of race and I have made this point clear publicly and privately. As a matter of fact, this commission has had possibly more contact in lines of communication with all ethnetic [sic] groups than any other, and I know we enjoy the respect of those in all races and groups with whom we have worked." A copy of the article is included. |
