My dear Mr, Mayor;

This is to add a word of appreciation
for your stand of courage in Washington recently
backing the President's Civil Rights Legislation,

While I agree that voluntary desegregation
is preferable, as long as certain state government
leaders continue to inflame public opinion and
embarrass our nation's effective world leadership,
it geems that specific laws must be made and under-
stood, Therefore, I have written our two Georgia
Senators and the Fifth District Representative
saying that I hope they can support the Adminis-
tration, clarified to include court appeal for
fund-withholding from individual states not co-
operating,

Sincerely and Apvreciatively,

Weert, .< A UesTrne
