Re: Robert D. Pattillo and Charles T. Latham
Dear Mr. Smith:

This office has been retained to represent Mr. Pattillo and Mr.
Latham as a result of your letters of May 26, 1969 terminating
their employment with the City of Atlanta.

Your letter informs these two employees that "you are alleged to
have violated the Code of Ethics - - -". Mr. Pattillo and Mr.
Latham herein requests that they be informed of the specific vio-
lations that were the basis of their termination and discharge as
employees of the City of Atlanta.

Mr. Pattillo and Mr. Latham were not informed or furnished with
copies of the Code of Ethics for officials and employees of the
City of Atlanta. Will you please furnish this office with a copy
of same.

This letter is our formal notice of our intent to appeal Mr.
Pattillo and Mr. Latham's discharge to the City Personnel Board.
Will you please forward to me a copy of the City of Atlanta's
personnel procedure, including the necessary information necess-
ary to effect an appeal.

Looking forward to your reply, I am
