Kennedy mailed Konvitz a copy of a complaint he filed on August 9, 1972, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in an effort to obtain a juridical determination of the scope of the President's pocket veto power under the Constitution. Kennedy had previously discussed this issue with Doctor Konvitz (August 11, 1972). Konvitz refers to an item on the editorial page of the November 21, 1968 Cornell Daily Sun reporting that a trial judge had received a letter from Senator Kennedy attesting to a Syracuse man's character who was indicted for carrying a gun to the Robert Kennedy funeral mass (November 25, 1968). Kennedy informs Konvitz that he never wrote a letter to the New York Court on behalf of the defendant and that the only letter involving the defendant that Kennedy wrote to him was identical to the one he sent to every person who submitted suggestions for a Robert Kennedy Memorial (February 19, 1969). Kennedy asks Professor Konvitz to comment on the constitutional questions involved in the President's action in using the pocket veto to disapprove a bill (May 28, 1971).
