William A. Steiger Letter July 16, 1977/Member of Congress

July 16, 1977


Dear Mr. Temme:

   It was exceedingly thoughtful of you to write me that note of encouragement.
 I do firmly believe that I have a constitutional duty to protect the First Amendment rights of the people who communicate with me in my capacity as a legislature.
   While my conviction is firm, I find that this position may be leading me into a lonely battle, and I assure you that it is very heartening to know there are apt to be some who appreciate the principle that is at stake. Thanks so much for your uplifting support.

Sincerely yours,
William A. Steiger
Member of Congress
