May I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your
forthright testimony before the Commerce Committee of United States
Senate in Washington pee epecone y and the fine words spoken in behalf

of the local Negro and wh

te leadership in attempting to solve our

manifold problemse

We know that it took courage of the hignest order to speak
out as you did and one of the syndicated columists said that "Mayor Al-
_Len JLo ,0f Atlanta broke the patternnof southern antagonism to President

Kennedy

s civil rights program Friday by urging Congress to outlaw racial

dis@imination in restaurants,hotels,and other private businesses,"

Further

as a city we have made much progress under your admin-

istration as Mayor of all of the people of greater Atlanta,and before the
end of your regime,we are confident of making further gains as a cosmo-

politan center.

In reviewing the resuits of the mayoralty race,we were pleased

to note that our

Seventh Ward gave you a total of II,235 votes,and the

city-wide total of votes for your candidacy was 6h.» 227 votese
Please accept this note as a token of our appreciation,and

again may I say,-"Thank you Mr. Mayor",for your fine support of the

public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Bill now before

The Congresse

We beg to remain

files.

Yours sincerely,
