1950-1951, 1953-1954, 1960-1965, 1969, 1976-1978. Correspondence with Milton Eisenberg, attorney and Administrative Assistant to United States Senator Kenneth B. Keating; Konvitz mentions that he believes the attack on Judge Youngdahl in the Lettimore case is not justified (October 14, 1954). Konvitz comments that he stressed the work of Congress in the 1860s and 1870s in his Constitution and Civil Rights (1947) and A Century of Civil Rights books. Konvitz also mentions that he continued to believe that Justice Harlan's dissent in the 1883 case was correct and that an act of Congress on public accommodations could fall under the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments (as well as the Commerce Clause) (July 29, 1963). Other routine correspondence.
