Dear Al:
Thank you for your telegram in support of Senate Bills 1676 and
1811.
In committee and on the floor of the House I supported SB 1676 but
voted against SB 1811. (I was the only one in committee that voted
for one and against the other).
I am most concerned about the sensitivity of the First Amendment,
and I voted for SB 1676 because I felt it was sufficiently limited
in scope and would not conflict with the First Amendment/ I think
SB 1811 would.
I am sorry that the House did not discharge SB 1676 from committee
and I pray that the planned march on June 25th will be peaceful.
Sincerely,
Eugene F. Schlickman

House panel rejects bills to bar Nazi march
By Bob Secter
Sun-Times Bureau
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.-Legislative efforts to block a
planned June 25 Nazi march
through heavily Jewish Skokie suffered a serious - but
not fatal - blow Tuesday in a
House judiciary committee.
Heeding warnings that the
measures dangerously encroached on First Amendment
constitutional freedoms, the
committee resoundingly rejected two bills designed to
arm Skokie officials with sufficient legal weapons to stop
the Nazi march.
The 16-to-4 and 15-to-5 tallies against the two bills came
even though both sailed out of
the Senate last month with
little opposition.
Despie the action, opponents of the legislation were
not happy. Because of parliamentary maneuvering, it is
expected to be relatively easy
for sponsors of one of the
measures to bypass the committee roadblock and bring
the bill to the House floor.
“I EXPECT THERE is less
rationality among the body as
a whole than there is in this
committee,” lamented an official of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has led
the fight to preserve the Nazi’s right to march.
Backers of the bills vowed
not to give up. Rep. Alan J.
Greiman (D-Skokie), a sponsor
of one of the measures, reminded reporters after the
vote that the liberal-minded
judiciary committee often has
been reversed by the full
House on major policy issues.
“This committee doesn’t
have a very good track record,” blared Greiman as he
stalked out of the committee
room, vowing to file a motion
to have the full House overturn the committee vote.
A Marquette Park-based
neo-Nazi group has tried for
more than a year to parade
through Skokie, but the
march has been delayed by
legal wrangling. However, recent court decisions have given the go-ahead to the Nazis,
and on May 26 they asked for
- and received - a June 25
parade permit from reluctant
Skokie village officials.
Opponents of the march are
now viewing the Legislature
as their best chance to stop
the Nazis. Even if one of the
bills should eventually be declared unconstitutional, the
opponents believe that its passage would at least force the
courts to order the march delayed.
The measure with the best
chance of being revived is the
one sponsored by Greiman
and Sen. Howard W. Carroll
(D-Chicago). It creates a new
crime of criminal group defamation and gives local officials the right to seek injunctions to stop derogatory demonstrations and the distribution of hate literature.
The other measure, sponsored by Sen. John J. Nimrod
(R-Glenview), would ban pa“Isn't it better to stop it

STATE OF ILLINOIS
EIGHTIETH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
House Resolution No. 920
Offered by Representative Johnson
WHEREAS, The Nazi Party is planning a march through the Village of Skokie; and
WHEREAS, The Village of Skokie is largely populated by Jewish-Americans, many
of whom survived the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust; and
WHEREAS, The sight of Nazi symbols is a painful reminder to Jews, especially
survivors of Hitler's death camps because of the many horrors suffered by them directly
or to their relatives and friends; and
WHEREAS, A march by Nazis through a largely Jewish area sets forth ideas advocating the extermination of the Jewish People; and
WHEREAS, The values held by the Nazis are incongruent with the philosophy on
which this country was founded; and
WHEREAS, The Nazis in the United States have shown themselves to be destructive,
and disrespectful of the rights of Jews and other minorities in the American society;
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE EIGHTIETH
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, That we believe that the march
through Skokie is a harmful reminder of the pains and suffering of World War II; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That, if the Nazis ever manage to put together a successful demonstration or march in Skokie, then we urge the Governor to proclaim that day as ''Holocaust
Day" with all flags flown at half-staff in memory of the Jews and others who died at the
hands of one of the most evil movements in the history of mankind; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this preamble and resolution be presented to
the Honorable James R. Thompson, Governor of the State of Illinois, and to the Honorable Mayor of the Village of Skokie.
Adopted by the House of Representatives on June 6, 1978.
Speaker of the House
