Dear Ivan:

I was delighted to get your response to our proposal
addressed to white racial attitudes.

Before reporting again to the Ford Foundation, I'm wait-
ing to hear from a couple of local coalitions, after which I
expect to be able to make my recommendations for pilot cities.
Tf all goes well, I should have something more specific to
review with Nat Welch early next month.

Like all your admirers, I was disappointed, though hardly

surprised, by your decision to retire. Elizabeth and I were
pleased to see the Washington Post's comment, Thanks to her
own bedside clipping service, here's another copy of the
editorial for your scrapbook.

Best regards,

C
