turns on incomes are made by all si

be involved in any way in the presidential
primary and certainly had
loped not to be involved as a candi-j
date. I still hope that developments
may be such that it will be unnces-1
ary but I realize fully the import-j

situation you present. I will take the1
subject under consideration and bej
governed by my conclusion as to what
s my duty to my fellow democrats in
Georgia and to our party, the success

mportant to our nation and to my1
