Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy had a series of phone calls with Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett between September 27 to October 1.[15][16][17] Barnett reluctantly agreed to let Meredith enroll in Ole Miss, but secretly bargained with Kennedy on a plan which would allow him to save face.

Ross Barnett committed to maintain civil order. Robert Kennedy ordered 127 U.S. Marshals as well as 316 deputized U.S. Border Patrol and 97 Federal Bureau of Prisons officers to accompany Meredith during his arrival and registration.[18] On September 29, President Kennedy issued a proclamation commanding all persons engaged in the obstruction of the laws and the orders of the courts to "cease and desist therefrom and to disperse and retire peaceably forthwith", citing his authority under 10 U.S.C. § 332, § 333, and § 334 to use the militia or the armed forces to suppress any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy.[19][20][13]
