Roberts' Documents on Texas Redistricting

One of the John Roberts files released yesterday by the Reagan Library was labeled "Texas Redistricting." I have obtained a copy of the file and posted it here. The file contains correspondence related to how the Justice Department handled preclearance requests in 1982 and 1983 concerning Texas redisticting. I did not see anything there that sheds light on Judge Roberts' views on preclearance or on redistricting more generally, but you can look for yourself.
