Mayor of the City of Atlanta

Dear Ivan:

I want to urge that you make a special effort

to attend the meeting of the Steering Committee

on December 10. The agenda will include discussion
of the very critical fiscal problems facing our
cities and consideration of the role of the Urban
Coalition in helping the cities cope with these
problems.

I believe the meeting will be an interesting one.
I believe also that it will be an important one.

The meeting will start at 3:30 p.m., on Wednesday,
December 10 in Washington. We will have dinner

and a brief evening session which should adjourn

at approximately 9:30 p.m. I do hope that you will
be able to be present. Further details will follow.

Sincerely,

Chairman
