Dear Committee Member:

, Tis the fortnight before Christmas
And all through our program
Many things will be stirring.

The point of taking such liberties with the famous poem is to say that our final
1968 full committee meeting will be held exactly two weeks before Christmas
on Wednesday, December ll at 2p.m.in the Atlanta Room of the Citizens and

Southern National Bank,
We'll have a veritable Christmas stocking of a program, as follows:

1, Cary S, Hooks, FHA director for Georgia, will discuss new
programs provided by the 1968 national housing legislation.
Accompanying Mr. Hooks will be Ralph L, Johnston, chief
underwriter and Kenneth Finn, construction analyst in charge of
221 H program. They will be glad to answer questions.

2. Percy Hearle, chairman and president of our nonprofit
subsidiary, will update us on our Robert L. Sommerville 221 H

project which is nearing completion.

3. Vice chairman and treasurer A. B. Padgett will report on
our financial situation.

4, Howard Openshaw, Atlanta Housing Authority redevelopment
director, will summarize 1968's urban renewal activity and give
us a preview of what is in prospect for 1969.

5. Jack Willingham, assistant director of HUD's community
service branch, will be prepared to fill us in more fully on new
metropolitan development programs.

Chairman Langdale and I are looking forward to seeing you on this fortnight

before Christmas...

William S, Howland
