Reagan urges voluntary school prayer despite DOJ stance
The Justice Department, under Attorney General William French Smith, decided not to file a friend of the court brief in Alabama cases appealing to the 11th Circuit.

Hand had ruled for prayer, Powell stayed ruling pending the circuit decision.
