BOX 39S : HOUSTON IP TEXA Serene mpm snes tareney "a AN OrEN LETTER TO MY DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN FRIEND IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE: _ "REAPING THE WHIRLWIND" b6 The moral fabric of our nation is in danger! - The people of Massachusetts can elect Mr. Edward Ted Kennedy their U.S. Senator for life!...that is their affair. As long as he sticks to Massachusetts' affairs, there is no problem. However, the people of 49 States in view of the Kopechne controvers do not want him as President or to keep his foot in the door of the Presidency as SENATE MadURITY WHIP, a leadership post with great influence on national legislation affecting their very Lives and Safety. They cannot and will nottolerate the forced leadership of a man who abandoned a trapped girl at the bottom of a pond while he went to look for his lawyers! The people believe that by his actions after the accident,actions unworthy of a man or a senator, Senator Kennedy forfeited his -Claims to national leadership. That,in effect, he has created a mushrooming angry cloud of resentment. and doubt as to the - fairness of the ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE in America. The people ask "Why was the police charge a simple MISDEMEANOR . when the usual charge throughout the U.S. in accidents involving a fatality is INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER OR HOMICIDE, with hearings mandatory to determine the degree of negligence’. _ , The people of 49 States ask "WHY WAS A BLOOD SAMPLE TAKEN FROM- THE DEAD GIRL AND NOT FROM THE DRIVER OF THE DEATH-CAR? "" They cringe at the cold-bloodedness of the Senator's "indefensible" cover-up tactics taken with the conscious help of two lawyer friends who were not in shock. They want answers to their questions "Was there a conspiracy not to report the accident to the police during a nine hour period in order to save a political image?" - " Is'nt this a circumvention of the law?" Since all three are lawyers and damage has been done to the LEGAL PROFESSION, MARY JO KOPECKNE,. THE ADMINISTRATION -OF JUSTICE IN AMERICA, the people of the 49 States want a final judgement from THE COURTS and from THE COURT OF AMERICAN FUBLIC OPINION. . . - _ ENCLOSURE. . —_
