killing; and
BE IT RESOLVED, That this Committee commend the Mayor of Atlanta for his prompt,
courageous and effective leadership in controlling the violence and the restoring of
order; the policemen employed in the civil strife for performing their duties
efficiently with due regard to the protection of life and property; and the group of
responsible Negro leaders who answered the call for assistance from the Mayor and
were a major force in turning the tide away from strife and choas.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we recognize the social ills which exist in our
community and that we encourage and support our civic authorities in their expressed
desire to bring about a greater degree of human dignity and opportunity for under-

Dear Mayor Allen:
The Atlanta Jewish Community Council, which represents
virtually all of the adult Jewish organizations in Atlanta,
wishes to commend you and the Police Department for the
manner in which you handled the recent disturbances which
occurred in several sections of Atlanta. We applaud your
courage and statesmanship in dealing with certain destructive
elements in the community and in counselling for the
settlement of problems through good will and understanding.
We are aware, as you are, that there are certain conditions
in the Negro community which may have contributed to these
disorders and which require corrective measures. We are
available to lend our assistance to any constructive program
which may be developed to alleviate conditions and to make
of Atlanta the proud community we all wish it to be.
Please call upon us if we can be of any assistance to you.

Dear Mayor Allen:
On behalf of the officers and directors of the Atlanta Real Estate Board,
I am writing to express the appreciation of the Board for your forthright
actions during the recent rioting in our City. We wish to join with many
others in pledging our support to youin your continuing efforts to pre-
serve law and justice and a sense of reason among all the people of
Atlanta.
We commend your great courage in taking a personal hand in the control
of these disturbances. Although your appearance at the scene was beyond
the duties expected of the Mayor of Atlanta, every citizen should feel deep
pride in what you did. We do not ask our Mayor to endanger his life or
safety, but having done so, you have caused each of us to feel taller as
citizens.
We are, naturally, concerned about the protection of private property,
as well as the lives and well-being of our people. Certainly, we commend
any effort toward strengthening the means of this protection within the
framework of our laws and institutions. Freedom should be enjoyed by
every citizen, but an engrained sense of responsibility must be understood
as a qualification of this freedom. The Atlanta Real Estate Board, its
officers, directors and members, stand behind you and the City Adminis-
tration in your efforts to further these aims which we all share.
Strong and effective leadership in these times is necessary and we applaud
your exercise of such leadership.
Yours very truly,
ATLANTA REAL ESTATE

Dear Mayor Allen:
On behalf of the officers and directors of the Atlanta Real Estate Board,
I am writing to express the appreciation of the Board for your forthright
actions during the recent rioting in our City. We wish to join with many
others in pledging our support to youin your continuing efforts to pre-
serve law and justice and a sense of reason among all the people of
Atlanta.
We commend your great courage in taking a personal hand in the control
of these disturbances. Although your appearance at the scene was beyond
the duties expected of the Mayor of Atlanta, every citizen should feel deep
pride in what you did. We do not ask our Mayor to endanger his life or
safety, but having done so, you have caused each of us to feel taller as
citizens.
We are, naturally, concerned about the protection of private property,
as well as the lives and well-being of our people. Certainly, we commend
any effort toward strengthening the means of this protection within the
framework of our laws and institutions. Freedom should be enjoyed by
every citizen, but an engrained sense of responsibility must be understood
as a qualification of this freedom. The Atlanta Real Estate Board, its
officers, directors and members, stand behind you and the City Adminis-
tration in your efforts to further these aims which we all share.
Strong and effective leadership in these times is necessary and we applaud
your exercise of such leadership.
Yours very truly,
ATLANTA REAL ESTATE
Of LE 2 )

Dear Mr. Allen:
The Session of the Ormewood Park Presbyterian Church in regular
session on September 12, 1966, took action to commend you in your
patience and fortitude in face of the trying and explosive situation
of the past few days. We feel you have conducted yourself in a
Christian manner and exemplified the dignity due the high office you
hold as our mayor.
In the same action there were words of commendation for our police
and fire departments. We were keenly aware of the absence of one of our
elders at the Session meeting, Supt. J. L. Tuggle, and prayer was offered
for you and the other public servants who are endeavoring to maintain
peace and order in troublesome times.
May God continue to keep your spiritual strength equal to the
mental and physical demands of your privilege and responsibility.
J With sincere appreciation,
soe The Session
