Copy of Memorandum from Georgia Attorney General Eugene Cook to Georgia Gov. Marvin Griffin in 1957 on the subject of the rights of the Federal Government to send troops into a state. This document was prepared after the events at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Cook argues that the U . S. Government does not have the right to use troops unless violence has occurred. The Memorandum suggests where Georgia could have gone had men like Griffin remained in power.
