Dear Mr. Neier:

Thank you for inviting me to serve as a member of the Selection Committee for the Florina Laker Civil Liberties Award.

I consider it an honor to serve, but I cannot come to the meetings of the Committee; so I will have to refuse with great regret.

Sincere best wishes,

Julian Bond
