\\ 2 - Mr. Mintz February 18, 2982 Honorable Thurgood Associate ‘Justice shall b1e Supreme Court of the United States Dear Justice Marshall: In further response to your letter of January 29, 1982, our review of the enclosure to your letter has identified it as an article published in the February, 1982, issue of the magazine, “National Lampoon,” at page 60. The table of contents, appearing on page 2, indicates the article was by two persons named therein. Our conclusion is that there does not appear to be a basis for FBI criminal investi- gation. I have been advised by our Legal Counsel that, as it appears the intended purpose of the magazine is to produce humor for publication regardless of quality or decency of the material and on its face the particular article is patently absurd, the article probably enjoys constitutional protection from private legal means of redress. For your assistance, should you desire to pursue this matter privately, I will enclose a . copy of the magazine. ‘With warn regards, 2% -, _- [rf Enclosure ° Rirector mre ' APOROVED S FEB ¥¥ 1532 Sincerely, |s/ 6,10 bic William H.
