Dear Mr. Leibman:

In your capacity as Chairman of the National
Advisory Council on Poverty, I understand that you recently
directed letters to numerous public officials at all levels
of government and organizations seeking their views on the
War on Poverty.

2 In my work with the Education and Labor Committee,
I am likewise trying to keep up with all aspects of the
Poverty program. My immediate interest lies in the area of
the role of, and coordination with, the states in the adminis-
tration of the program. It occurred to me that the responses to
your inquiry, perhaps from Governors and/or others, might have
contained some enlightening information on the subject of
state participation.

If your staff has compiled the results of your
inquiry or 1f there is any information you have regarding state
participation which I could be furnished, I would be most
grateful.

Best personal regards,

A ies
