Honorable Mayor and City Council
Dear Colleague:
On September 14, 1981, I introduced Resolution 5130 to the
Hawthorne City Council, calling upon the State of California's
State Board of Prison Terms to rescind the early release date
it established for convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan.
The honorable Jesse M. Unruh, Treasurer of the State of Calif-
ornia, who was a witness to Sirhan Sirhan's heinous crime on
that fateful evening in Los Angeles, and I, strongly urge
that your honorable body take similar immediate action in the
appropriate form, and forward copies of same to Governor Ed-
mund G. Brown Jr., the State Board of Prison Terms, and Mr.
John Van DeKamp, Los Angeles County District Attorney.
Your city's participation in this endeavor will help reassure
all law-abiding citizens of California that this state will
not tolerate lenient treatment of convicted murderers and
persons who might attempt assassination of political candidates.
Respectfully,
r5o
Bruce H. Gies
Councilman, City of Hawthorne
