This document appears to be a page from a manuscript (possibly Alan Dershowitz's memoir, given the context of clerking for Justice Goldberg) submitted to the House Oversight Committee. It details the legal history and strategy regarding Supreme Court challenges to the death penalty, specifically discussing *McGautha v. California* (1971) and the landmark *Furman v. Georgia* decision. The narrator describes the shift in the Court's makeup due to Nixon appointees and recounts a celebratory phone call from Justice Goldberg after the *Furman* victory.
