</s>Evelyn Lic Sparran 5610 Alonzo Avenue Binco, California 91316 The Honorable Richard N. Nixon President Of The United States The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: I am most concerned with the taxes it is costing the California tax payers in the Sirhan Sirhan case of which you are aware of in the assassination of Senator Kennedy. They say this conviction will be in court three months. WHY? He has admitted his guilt, and was caught in the act. Why do we law abiding citizens have to pay for this? Our taxes is so high now in the San Fernando Valley that we just can't afford to live in the house we bought for 13,000 9 years ago. My Husband served in World War II and we have been since 1947 trying to own a home. Can't something please be done? We are past 50 years old now and would like to have a home in our later years instead of a room or rest home. I do thank you for taking the time for my complaint. Yours, truly 100-12-1. 5 FEB 19 1969
