Dear Jim:

As you know a Housing Resources Committee has been formed
for the purpose of providing low cost housing in the City of
Atlanta. We are pursuing this to relieve the acute shortage
in housing in this category which has been emphasized by the
CIP study recently completed,

One of the major keys to the problem is the financing of the
needed units. Your presence on the Committee would lend it
greatly needed prestige and support. May we ask you to serve
and, in addition, to appoint some member of your staff to take
an active role with the Committee? 'Bo!'' Whitman, through
his interest in urban problems, would be a most welcome
appointee,

Cecil Alexander, as Chairman, is calling an organizational
meeting on Tuesday, February 14, 1967, 10:00 a.m. at the

City Hall. I hope you will be able to accept membership on
the Financial Panel of the overall Committee and will attend

the meeting.

Cordially,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
