NEW YORK , N . Y . ADDRESS REPLY TO P . 0. DRAW ER 1734 EDGAR J . FORIO November 24, 1965 SEN I OR VICE PRES ID E NT ATLANTA I . GEORGIA TE L E PH ONE 875-3 4 11 Honorable Ivan Allen Mayor of the City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Ivan: Re: Atlanta Sta dium Opening Game As you know, I am chairman of the committee which will handle the opening day ceremonies on April 12. I will not burden this letter with the details of the plans, but Mrs. Ann Moses is familiar with them. However, the committee seeks your help and the help of Governor Sanders in two respects. First , I understand from Ann that the Governor has handled Billy Graham to the ex tent that his appearance on the night of April 12 is no major problem. Second , the committee would appreciate the ex tending of an in vitation by you and Governor Sanders to President Johnson for the opening game. In the event the Pr esident would accept, we would like to know as quic k ly as possible , for this would necessitate some additional planning . We would be grat eful to you if you woul d t a l k to Carl about both o f these contacts and let me hear fr om you . All good wishes , EJF / j �
