D.C. 20 54 /0 LM096282 B-164031(l) OCT 7 1972 'Dear Mr. Edwards: As requested in your letter of April 4, 1972, we have ac- cumulated certain Om othedegg e in of the school systems in Mobile County and Wilcox County, Alabama. W-e--e-s-gi9t~ that, from March 1963 through May 1972, costs of at least $1,653,551 were incurred by the Federal courts; the / Department of Justice; and the Department of Health, Educa- 7,22_2 tion, and Welfare (HEW). The complaint of Davis and others to desegregate the Mobile County school system was filed in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Alabama on March 27, 1963, and the first appeal was made to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in May 1963. The Su- preme Court of the United States became involved when the first petition for a writ of certiorari was filed and for- warded to that court in August 1963. The Department of Jus- tice entered the case in June 1967 when the Attorney General of the United States filed a motion to intervene as plaintiff pursuant to authority granted by section 902 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000h-2). Pursuant to authority granted by the Civil Rights Act, the Attorney General filed a complaint in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Alabama, on November 22, 1965, to desegregate the Wilcox County school sys- tem. In August 1966 this case came before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Unlike the Mobile County case, however, it has not been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The following statistics show the actions related to each case from inception through May 1972. 7 /Oo (
