Dear Mayor Allen:

The Atlanta Summit Leadership Conference
urgently requests that your office launch a
full scale investigation of the deaths of an
entire family of the Perry Homes Housing Project
in Atlanta. Death occured Thursday, bodies were
discovered Saturday.

The victims were Mrs. Josie Marie Callier, a
daughter age 9 and two sons, ages 6 and 7. We have
reports of possible negligence on the part of the
Atlanta Housing Authority. We have reports that
there have been at least 4 other incidents of a
faulty gas system causing deaths of tenants. Includ-
ing one case where one victim reported a faulty gas
condition in his apartment, before he became a fatal
victim.

Very truly yours,
ATLANTA SUMMIT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
