His Honor Ivan Allen, Jr. Li v
Mayor of Atlanta >
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Ivan:

May I congratulate you on your clear and coura-
geous statement last week before the Senate Commerce
Committee? The progress which Atlanta has made in
this difficult problem is heartening to the entire
nation, and your plea to the Congress for realism
sounds just like the realistic chairman we had the
pleasure of serving in the NSOBA Survey Committee.

Since our NSOEA study we here have made an even
more extensive study for NSSEA, the National School
Supply and Equipment Association. The enclosed letter
from NSSEA indicates the fine reception given to our
Report -- and their Board and Executive Committee are
taking active steps of implementation of each of the
122 Recommendations the Report contained.

If ever an opportunity exists to serve you in any
aspect of your busy life -- public or business -- it
would be a privilege and a pleasure.

With great respect, and very sincerely

Roscoe ¢. Edlund
