Dear Mr. Sweat:

tion to go will bear his own expenses, The cost of the trip, including contingency
allowance, will be $180.00 excluding hotel charges other than room, breakfast and
lunch Thursday, or any personal expenditures, Any overage will be returned to you,

Atlanta Area Transportation Study Policy Committee; presidents, executive officers,
and others in the Chambers of Commerce; the Governor, Lt. Governor, Speaker of the
House, and other state officials; news media, and other individuals who have expressed
interest in such a trip. If you know of someone not in these categories who should
be invited, please let me know immediately, and this same invitation will go to
those you suggest.
Reservations for the trip will be made on a first-come, first served basis for the
86 seats available,
I hope you will make your reservation promptly. Your check for $180.00 made out to
MARTA for the Montreal-Toronto Trip should be in our office as soon as possible,
This trip will enable you and others who will play a leading role in the development
of rapid transit in Atlanta to see first hand two modern rapid transit systems and
what they have done and are doing for their communities, and to do so at minimum
expense,
I hope you will plan to make this trip.
