Description: "I, um, tried to get ahold of Mike O'Connell and he is not available, is there anybody else I can talk to about the executive order in Ferguson? Mike O'Connell is the one you'll need to speak with. Um is there anyone else there, is he the only one? He is the one who is going to be speaking." |
An automated email response said O'Connell is out of the office on business.
Nixon's executive order comes in anticipation of the results of a grand jury investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown.
