SECRETARY IRA JAC~SON TREASURER The Honorable Ivan Al len , Jr . Mayor , City of At lanta 68 Mitche ll Street, s . W. Atlanta, Georgia 30300 Dear Mr . Mayor: The Atlanta NAACP takes note of the fact that there will soon be two vacancies on the Metropolitan Rapid Transit Autho rity . It is our feeling that many of the problems that the Authority has had in generating support in the black community can be traced to inadequate representation of the black community in the process of formulating the plans for a much needed Rapid Transit System in the Atlanta area . It is our hope that you will take advantage of the upcoming vacancies to increase the participation of the black community at the policy-making and plan-making level. As always the NAACP stands ready to assist you in your efforts to assure continued growth of the city of Atlanta. Sincerely yours, ~CK,~ Lonnie C. King, Jr. President Atlanta Branch NAACP LCX/h �
