January 27, 1972 Mr. J. R. Coupal, Director Iowa Highway Commission Lincoln Way Ames, Iowa Dear Mr. Coupal: This is to confirm our telephone conversation this date with respect to the inclusion in the record of the enclosed position statement of the national office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Due to inclement weather, I was unable to attend the Public Hearing called by the Iowa Highway Commission in Fort Madison, January 27, 1972. The national office had requested that this be presented by a national staff member and as a Regional Director, I was given this responsibility. We are also releasing this statement to news media for immediate publication. It is our understanding that additional information is acceptable by the hearing officer if received within ten (10) days from the hearing date. Thanks for your consideration and cooperation in this matter. Sincerely yours, [[signature]]Robert A. Wright Robert A.
