Update on the Justice Department dress code: Attorney General EdwinMeese III decided yesterday to reverse the department's "interim policy"banning anyone wearing "Experts Agree! Meese Is a Pig" T-shirts.
"The matter was raised with the attorney general this morning.And he said from here on out our policy will be that if they want to enterthe building wearing that sort of T-shirt, they may," said departmentspokesman Patrick S. Korten.
The question arose after bicycle messenger Christopher Stalvey was barredfrom the building earlier this month when -- wearing an anti-Meese message-- he tried to deliver a package.
American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Arthur B. Spitzer, who had beengeared up to sue the Justice Department for abridging Stalvey's First Amendmentrights, said of the decision, "That's great."
