Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

May I offer my warmest and most sincere commendation
and congratulations on the statement that you made
before the Senate Commerce Sub-Committee last week.
% was a courageous position to take, to be sure,
but, to my mind, it was more than that. You
expressed the thoughtful concern of the decent
citizens of Atlanta for the inherent rights of all
our citizens and for the need to assure the Negro
community of its full rights as Amercians and as
Georgians.

I know that many Atlantans join with me in un-
equivocal support of your position. If there is
anything that I can do to help maintain Atlanta's
progress in the field of race relations, I hope
that you will feel free to call upon me.

Janice joins me in warmest regards to you and Mrs.
Allen.

s always, sincerely,

“Yek tetabie
