Dear Mayor Allen:
The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc:~and_
the Metropolitan Atlanta Commission on Crime and Juvenile ~
Delinquency, Inc. are co-sponsoring a meeting to be held
Tuesday, April 18 at 3:00 p.m. in the conference room of
the Trust Company of Georgia to discuss the problem of the
chronic alcoholic court offender.
We feel that such a conference at this time is imperative
in view of the recent decisions of the federal Courts of Appeal
which held that the chronic alcoholic should not be confined
as a criminal but rather should be treated as one in need of
medical assistance.
Enclosed is a list of those persons invited to attend
this meeting as well as some material relating to the problem
of the alcoholic and a treatment plan prepared by the Community
Council.
We are hopeful that an overall plan in which the repre-
sentatives of the City, County and State will participate will
be forthcoming.
Yours very t . ;
