Dear Mayor Allen:

I hereby accept your invitation to be present at a meeting Friday,
March 8, 1963, 2:00 P. M., to discuss the Harlan-Peyton Road hous-
ing situation, It is assumed that your invitation to me was as an
individual, ;

As you know, I am one of three Co-Chairmen of the All Citizens
Committee for Better City Planning. You will recall that this
organization had previously indicated a willingness to discuss all
pertinent issues inherent in the subject. There has been no
change in our position,

Presuming that you intend to form a committee for the mentioned
purpose, I am taking the liberty of submitting to you a list of names
ef persons in our organization from whom we would be amendable to
selecting an appropriate number. I realize that the size of the
committee would dictate the number of persons selected,

If the purpose of the Friday meeting is to explore solutions to
said situation, then I strongly and respectfully urge that you
indicate to me the number of persons which might be selected
from the attached list. I would be happy to communicate with
such persons immediately upon receiving appropriate information
from you.

YOURS, FOR,A BEITER ATLANTA,
