We are particularly concerned with two phases of the Coalition's statement of principles: (paraphrased) 1) "to work for a guarantee of 'equal access to all housing, new and existing';" and 2) "as a first goal in dealing with unemployment 'putting at least one million presently unemployed into production at the earliest possible moment'." Please be assured that the experiences gained from our Atlanta Community Relations Program, concerned with fair housing and employment on merit, will be made available to the personnel of such committees as you may consider appointing to deal with these issues.
