Dear Dan:

Many thanks for sending me the applications
of those two college students. Unfortunately, I only
hire second-year law students during the summer, so
I am unable to help them. If you hear of any exciting
law students I would very much appreciate knowing
about them.

You mentioned on the telephone the other day
your high regard for Les Persells. I would very much
like to hear the argument in favor of his appointment
to succeed Satterfield. My own impression is very
strong that he is tied up so closely with present
policies as to gravely diminish the chances for
significant reform in the Housing Authority. My
opinion about his appointment has been sought by
a number of people. I would like to hear your
comments in order that mine can be more intelligent.

Cordially,

Michael D. Padnos
Director
