Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

This is not Thanksgiving, but thanks}

Thanks for going to Washington and telling the Senate
Commerce Committee to pass the Public Accommodations
Bill so the Federal government can control and operate
our private businesses,

Thanks for making yourself clear: "We've got to go one
of two ways =~ we can't keep messing around." From this
statement, I assume you think the Federal government
isn't mov ing fast enough toward Socialism.

Mayor Allaa, you did solidify the votes of the 200,000
people you represented in Washington, but you should
realize from the last Mayor's election that you are
assured of this support anyway.

But thanks for not representing most of the white people
in Atlanta, especially me.
