Dear Mayor Allen:
It is with inestimable pleasure that I drop you this
note of commendation on the forthright position your

As we read your prepared testimony and the New York
Times! reports upon your replies during the colloquy;
we were impressed with the difference between a states-
man and a politician. We salute you as a statesman
imbued with e firm understanding of the moral values
underlying the civil rights issues,
If you can possibly find a ten-minute breathing space
in your Wednesday (July 31) schedule, I would be grate-
ful for the opportunity of a brief coaching session with
your. I am to appear before the Senate Sub-Committee on
Employment and Manpower of the Labor and Public Welfare
Committee to give testimony in support of § 773 and
S 1937 (the Clark and Humphrey Bills, respectively).
My prepered testimony has already been placed in the
committee's hands. I am advised that I am to give oral
testimony and participate in a colloquy following it.
Since this is my maiden flight before the august Senate,
I could profit from a brief conference with you who have
acquited yourself so well on this latest and earlier
occasions before the Senate.
Sincerely yours,
