Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Boisfeuillet:

I am in agreement with the veorganization of the EOA Board of
Directors in accordance with your letter of July 3, 1969, and

the memorandum which you submitted. I believe this would provide
proper representation to local agencies and citizens groups and
will meet the guideline requirements of OEO.

It is my desire that you serve as one of the four appointees of
the City and that Rev. M. L. King, Sr., Mr. A. L. Sterne,
and Rev. Joseph L. Griggs also serve under City appointment.

I do not have to tell you how fortunate the people of Atlanta and

the surrounding area have been to have you serve as Chairman

of the EOA Board of Directors since its establishment in 1964.

We thank you again for your service in the past and your continued
service in the future.

Sincerely yours,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
