EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT « CITY OF PROVIDENCE e RHODE ISLAND
0
MAYOR JOSEPH A. DOORLEY, JR.
November 4, 1967 LP
Dear Ivan:
I have been informed by members of my own
Congressionsl delegation, who fully support the concept of
the poverty program, and from other numerous sources that
the authorization bill for the Office of Economic Opportunity
is in for "rough sledding" and as one newspaper source said
"9 real bloodletting". Needless to say I do not have to tell
any municipal chief? executive what this will mean to the
programs under way in his city.
It is not my intention to be gored to death
without witnessing the bull in action. I urge those of you
who share my concern to join me in Washington this week s0
that we can properly demonstrate our interest.
T may be contacted at my office on Monday or
at the Congressional Hotel in Washington on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
truly yours,
ayor of Providence
