Subject; Atlanta Urban Coalition

Gentlemen:

Thank you for meeting together with me at City Hall to discuss
the formation of an Atlanta Urban Coalition.

I hope that you will carefully consider the statement of the
National Urban Coalition, and let me know if you agree that this
statement can be endorsed and supported by you as part of the
steering committee of the Atlanta Urban Coalition.

Also, Ihope you will each edit the draft statement on the local
coalition and return it to Dan Sweat so that he can consolidate
our efforts into a final statement,

Several organizations have expressed a desire to become
affiliated with the Atlanta Urban Coalition, either as members

of the steering committee or of a broad representation which

we hope will develop. Your ideas as to how we should proceed
with expanded representation will be appreciated. In the mean-
time, we will include all organizations who desire on our mailing
list so that they might be better informed.

Thanks again for your help.

Sincerely yours,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
