Notes to Brennan File Documents
Brief Description Date Note
WJB Discussion Schedule 10-11-88 This date is somewhat arbitrarily estimated as one week before the first scheduled conference.  The document could just as easily have been created shortly after 8/29 when the relevant argument schedule was distributed to the justices. 
Summary of Ruling Below  10-21-88 Date estimated based on assumption that this was attached to EPR's Memo to WJB
Memo EPR to WJB  10-21-88 Date estimated based on assumption that memo was delivered to WJB on the date of EPR's scheduled discussion with WJB.
WJB Conference Notes 11-10-88 Date based on date of conference
WJB Notes for Conference 11-09-88 Date estimated based on date of oral argument and date of conference
