WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036

November 2, 1967

Dear Mayor Allen,

Last May, Chairman Leibman wrote to you on behalf of the
Council asking for your views concerning the programs carried on
under the Economic Opportunity Act, and you gave us a helpful
answer,

The ranking minority Member of the Committee on Education
and Labor of the House of Representatives, Congressman William H.
Ayres, has just written the enclosed letter.

Since the Chairman's original request to you was for your
"personal and candid suggestions and proposals", he and I feel an
obligation to protect the privilege of your correspondence by seek-
ing your permission before we release your response to the Congress-
man, or before we even indicate that you were one of our respondents.
If you have no objection to the release of your letter, you may
wish to send Congressman Ayres a copy of it directly or authorize
me to do so here,

Would you let me know your wishes so that I may respond to
Congressman Ayres’ inquiry?

SAncerely Y eye

y H. Patterson,
tive Director




The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
