Dear Mr. Allen:

In its meeting on December 17, 1968, on a basis of a recommen-
dation from its Housing Sub-Committee, the Citizens Central Advisory
Council of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., recommended that you
be requested to consider making the appointment of a tenant to the
next vacancy on the Atlanta Housing Authority.

This matter has been discussed with residents of the several
housing projects and they feel that it is time to secure the advice
and counsel of tenants at the policy-making level. This is a
principhe that is being effective in all levels of social and econ-
omic activity. Economic Opportunity Atlanta has certainly found it
advantageous in that one-third of the membership on its Board of
Directors is composed of elected representatives of the people
who are being served.

Through a proper election process several nominees could be
named by the tenants of public housing projects from which you might
be able to make a selection. Please let us have your reactions to
this recommendation.
