Clements, Jr. Governor of Texas Austin, TX 78711 Dear Governor Clements: I have noted in recent news reports that you have expressed your belief that the State of Texas should not appeal the recent ruling of Judge Mathews regarding the regulation of the Roloff homes by the Department of Human Resources. Although that case directly involves specific limited facts, the adverse legal impact which the judgment, as it stands, would have on the entire state regulatory scheme is very obvious. I would appreciate your giving me the benefit of the legal basis upon which you have made your recommendation not to appeal the case. I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future on this matter. MW:bm Very truly y rs, Mark White ,A*14141,61.4didesditoa,
