MEMORANDUM [—

DATE: April 22, 1969
TO: Ivan Allen, Jr.
FROM: Ivan Allen, III
RE: ATLANTA CHAMBER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

You are familiar with the Leadership Program which the Chamber is planning
for 1969/1970. I am enclosing some descriptive material on the program,
along with specific topics which will be covered.

In order to properly kick off this program, we would like to ask Mr. John
Gardner, Frank Carter and yourself to participate in our September 29 session.
We would like Mr. Gardner to key-note this meeting with a talk before
dinner. After dinner we would like to ask the three of you to participate in
a panel type discussion dealing with the general subjects of urban develop-
ment and growth.

First I hope that you can be with us on September 29. Second, we would
like the official invitation to Mr. Gardner to come from your office. We
will be happy to provide you with whatever background material you might
need in issuing this invitation to him. Opie Shelton can give Ann any
necessary details.
