Dear Mr. Sweat:

The Atlanta Chapter of the American Jewish Committee would welcome
the opportunity to participate in Atlanta's Yrban Coalition. The American
Jewish Committee is participating in this effort on a national level, and
our people here can and should make a constructive contribution to the
Solution of local problems.

Our Chapter Chairman, William B. Schwartz, Jr., is President of Zep
Manufacturing Company and a Vice-President of National Service Industries.
He would be willing to serve, as would Edward Elson, Vice-Chairman and
President of the Atlanta News Agency and Elson's Book Stores. Mr. Elson
participated in the Washington meeting at which the National Coalition was
formed.

Please advise us whether it would be possible for us to cooperate in
this venture.

Cordially,



CHARLES F. WI TTENSTEIN
