"The ,Congressional Black Caucus should not quietly aoqui­ esce to your bizarre notions of equal rights for Black people, which, in my opinion, would con­ stitute gross dereliction of our stated responsibility," Clay wrote. " ... Franks is sort of the classic hypocrite, " Reynolds said, " ... he's a m�mber of the Black caucus because he's Black. " Clay called it "contemptible" and "idiotic" that Franks up­ ported the r cent Supreme Court decision against drawing legislativ districts to allow for the election of minority, Franks is planning to propose legislation that would codify the high court ruling.

Yet h) member of the Black cau- cu b caus he's Black." Reynolds rej cted the charge that the caucus, contrary to the philo ophy of openness it es-· pou I is being exclusionary.
