Honorable Ivan Allen, JUr.,

Mayor, The City of Atlanta,

City Hall, 68 Mitchell Street, S. W.,
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mayor Allen:

I have enclosed a copy of a letter I sent today to
Mr. Edwin H. Sterne, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners
of the Atlanta Housing Authority. I send you a copy of
this letter because I seek your support in achieving a
change in AHA policies.

The enclosed copy of letter is self-explanatory.
I can only add to it the fact that Atlanta, largely as
a result of your leadership, has led the nation in dealing
with the problems of the low-income community. I would
hope that Atlanta can once again lead the country on the
important question of durational residency requirements
in public housing,

Sincerely,

af /
