To:

The Honorable Orval E. Faubus

Governor of Arkansas

Little Rock, Arkansas

Your telegram received requesting my assurance of understanding of and cooperation in the course of action you have taken on school integration recommended by the Little Rock School Board and ordered by the United States District Court pursuant to the mandate of the United States Supreme Court.

When I became president, I took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. The only assurance I can give you is that the federal constitution will be upheld by me by every legal means at my command.

There is no basis of fact to the statements you made in your telegram that Federal authorities have been considering taking you into custody or that telephone lines to your executive mansion by any agency of the Federal Government.

At the request of Judge Davies, the Department of Justice is presently collecting facts as to your interference with or failure to comply with the District Court's order. You and other state officials -- as well as the National Guard which, of course, is uniformed, armed, and partially sustained by the Government -- will, I am sure, give full cooperation to the United States District Court.

Based on what you have learned, who wrote the passage above?

A) Rosa Parks

B) Martin Luther King Jr.

C) Dwight Eisenhower

D) Harry Truman
