Dear Mr. Owens:

May I acknowledge your letter of July 20th which was
received here Tuesday morning, the 24th. I expect it
was delayed over the weekend.

I want to assure you that my office is available at all

times to assist the citizens of Atlanta in anyway I can.

This includes matters of which you spoke in your letter
concerning block busting. If you would like to come and

talk about this matter and would like for me to set up a
meeting with your aldermen, Mr. Farris and Mr. Summers,
for an overall discussion, I should be glad to do so.

I have frodeeusly discussed this matter with a number of
people{to be of assistance. It is a difficult problem.

Assuring you of my cooperation, I am

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
