Mr. Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Allen:

I have just read the New York Times account of your
appearance before the Senate Commerce Committee last Friday
and I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you for
your courageous statement and to commend you very much for
speaking out on the President's civil rights proposals. It
was certainly very refreshing to read your statement, especially
coming from the mayor of one of the great cities of our country
and the largest in the southeast,

Again, my congratulations. I am

Sincerely yours,

Regn thong
