You can see behind me the preparations for the observance, the 20year observance of the millionman march and we have avoided what might be characterized as an imbrewing li on. It came from the u. S. Capitol police and it was a letter written by an employee of the division of intelligence and information analysis. In this letter it characterized Louis Farrakhan saying hes been accused of enciting violence of both caucasians and police officers. That drew an Immediate Response from the organizers. This statement characterized the honorable Louis Farrakhan in a very uncomplimentary matter and as well, it also characterized those of us with him in ways that were completely inappropriate. In the wake of that meeting, was there a sixhour meeting with u. S. Capitol police chief kim dine and organizers of the march. What came out of that was an apology and statement from chief dine who said that this letter has not been sanctioned by authorities in the Capitol Police department. It did not reflect their mission. They say that they are intent on making sure there is a peaceful and safe environment for people who want to exercise their First Amendment rights and earlier there was a meeting with d. C.
