David Ginsburg Executive Director Enclosure sit , W cook I ;% Y,-, U 0 -U, gA r, , 'Al"_ "'LA JL.S Honorable Otto Kerner Chairman, National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders Washington, D. C. 20506 Dear Mr. Chairman: You have requested my views on the possible use of inter- state compacts to control riots and to alleviate-disastrous conditions resulting from riots through the provision of aid from one contracting State to another. Such compacts might provide for military or non-military aid, or both., Provisions for military aid, I assume, would make National Guard units of a State available for riot-control duty in other contracting States. I/ Provisions for non-military aid would make avail- able, on an interstate basis, resources (including personnel) for fighting fires, feeding and sheltering stranded persons, administering medical care to injured persons, detaining and processing prisoners, and the like. In responding to your request, I believe it is important to distinguish between these two possible types of aid. For reasons stated below, I do not believe that interstate compacts are an appropriate means of providing for the additional military force that may be needed to suppress rioting in a State TT As a practical matter, such compacts probably would not provide for interstate movement of civilian police forces to deal with riots.
