Dear Mayor Alien:

Having read excerpts from your recent testimony before the Senate Commerce
Committee, I should like to express my gratitude and admiration for your
courageous and reasonable stand on the elimination of discrimination from
public accommodations, I devoutly hope that mayors in other cities, in the
North as well as in the South, will be guided by your example,

I wish you well in your work, Mr. Mayor, and I trust that this brief note
of appreciation will help to counterbalance the bitter criticism your
statement is bound to elicit.

Sincerely yours,

Ooh 7: Var

Robert H. Vasoli,
Assistant Professor
