3. Background: Although the ISBA and IJA usually met separately, this
year their rneet~ngs are combined in special recognition of the Bicentennial of
the Constitution. The ISBA is a voluntary professional association of
Illinois lawyers. With over 30,000 active members it is one of the largest
state bar associations in the country. The elected officers and Board of
Governors run the Association. Membership is open to all members of the
Illinois bar and out-of-state lawyers with professional ties to the state.
The ISBA sponsors numerous educational and professional programs, and holds
two general meetings a year. Donald Schiller, President of ISBA, highlights
the ISBA/IJA meeting in the October edition of the Illinois Bar Association.
Also of note are two articles on "Merit Selection of Judges amuch-discussed
topic in Illinois at this time. (See Journal in back pocket.) Supreme Court
nominee Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg, a Chicago native, is a member of the ISBA.
(See Tab for article.)
The IJA is also a voluntary professional association with a membership of
approximately 800 Illinois State Judges. Convention Chairmen of the ISBA and
the IJA Conference are Judge Philip Benefiel, Judge David Shields,
Judge Norman Eiger, and Justice Tobias Barry. Speakers at past Conferences
have been Archibald Cox, Louis Nizer, Fred Friendly, Richard Threlkeld of ABC
News, F. Lee Bailey, and former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg.
You spoke to the IJA in 1981 on "Sensitive Investigative Techniques." As
you remember this was the time of the Greylord investigation and subsequent
convictions which had great impact on the judicial system in Illinois.
P+iembers of the ISBA and the IJA wish to recognize your significant
contribution to the quality of the Illinois Court system. Judge Benefiel said
that the Conference members continue to be interested in the Greylord
operation and the uncovering of corruption in the Cook County Court System.
(See Tab for articles.) At the Friday morning panel "Professionalism on the
Bench" former U.S. Attorneys Dan IJebb and Scott Turow, both Greylord
prosecutors, will appear and Judge William Bauer will moderate. Mr. Turow is
also the author of the current best seller Presumed Innocent. You are invited
to attend any seminars listed in the program. For Convention program see
front pocket.)
4. Remarks: Attached in a separate folder are proposed remarks dra-~n,
per your agreement, from your speech at Aspen ( Central Intelligence: Its
Role in A Free Society") with a section on the Agency's legal activities
substituted for the section covering our relations with the academic community.
