Attached to this letter you will find a brief informa-
tional questionnaire concerning the creation of human rela-

tions committees.

We are attempting to find out as much as

we can about where such Committees are and how they are op-
erating in order to be of service to many of our members who

are seeking to benefit by others' experience.

As you know,

the Conference resolved at its 1963 Annual

Conference to make information with respect to this matter
available to those members who request it.
taken to insure that this service will be objective, confi-

dential and technically competent.

Steps have been

A ten=-member Mayors' Com-

mittee on Community Relations has been established under the
Chairmanship of Mayor Herman W. Goldner of St. Petersburg,

Florida.

This Committee has adopted a carefully worked out

program, of which this survey is a part, which will draw to-

This clearing house type of service will

be supported by a grant from one of the major foundations
and will not involve the expenditure of funds paid to the
Mayors' Conference by member cities.

advocacy on the part of the Conference but a program to pro-
vide information, upon request, to Mayors of member cities.

Thank you for your cooperation on this survey, and
please let me hear from you with suggestions for Conference
of Mayors activity in this or any other area of interest.
