As of October 21. 1968 there were 39 local cosl1t1ons.

The membership of these local coalitions glenerally inciudes

members of minority groups and leadership segments of tbe-. cOllllllunity such as the mayor, businessmen, labor. churches.

ne.s media and the proreslions.

Tss~ Forces have been set up in the follo.ing areas:

0) )Ianpo.er: considering the establishment of s nonprofit

corporat10n to create jobs snd match them .1th the skiils

or the unemployed.

(2) Economic Development: have created two corporations;

one to give Short term loans to minority group businessMl>n.

ths other to give managerial snd technical advice.

(3) Education: have created some schools for drop_outs.

(~) Rousing: working on privatsly sponsored housing projects.

(S) Communications: creation or dialogue bet.een .hite and

black communities -- emphasis has been on stiMulating the

Dca< /1<". Nixon:

Congratulations On yo,,"rae". The leadership anl:l'moral suppor!: onl"'ur pan, in my opinion, was the main ingredient toward the '68 success.

[ tegret that those of us here in Columbia County, Ceorgia, who have been a[te~pting to buiid a two-patty system have no victory to celebrate, but we shail continue and redouble our effotta in the future.

For ~our informSl:ion, Columbia Co"nty starts sbout tow Or thre" m{les west of Ike's "Lettle Whlt., House" at the Augusta Narional. At the rnomeno--and for rhe past ..0 odd ~ea'"--lt is a rural county dominated by one man, one fa,aLly control. Th~ poli'leal situation is not pleasant,

1 realhe lull ..ell the demsnds med., on your ti ..e and .. ff<Jrts Lo behalf of the Republican Party, but it seems that If we are to ever get a good Cwo party system established here, rhen we wiLl hsve ro heve the ssslseonee snd prestige of rhose sdmlred and respected .. ithtn the Party. Sho"ld ehe occasion srise that you "~y lISe the cot'age at the Augusta NarLonal for 5 veekend Or few days way from Wa5hjogtQn, ~p ~ould llkt to §rrange • sre.~tng engogement Or tour f our County for you.-

Dear DWJ<;lht:

/ Many thanks ior your help in trying

to get good seats lor Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, /1M. Cole and Edie and me at the swearing-in ceremony at 11;30 A.M. at The Capitol. I k;now how tight things are and I am gratelul for your help.

May I also ask for help wlth another lesser problem? We have eight tox seats for the Inal1gur,,1 Parade. TIley are in the reviewing stand -- across the street from the White House. We \'lot these ~eats throu\'lh channels, by paying $200. [ am sure they will be adeguate, but naturally we would appreciate anything you can do to see that the above party gets as advantageous a spot as possible to review the historic parade.

The beH co you.
