Forrester Congress of the U. S. Washington, D. C. Dear Congressman: As Representative county in the Georgia General As sembly, I feel that I would not be doing the people that I represent a good job if I did not contact you in reference to the Flint River De velopment Program.

I would personally appreciate any as Young Clark enlisted in the me chanical career area and Miller went into the general aptitude area.

The Georgia Power Company would, of course, pay all county, state and federal taxes on any proj ect that they might build and op erate. There is every reason why it would be beneficial to the people, town, community, and the State of Georgia as a whole, to grant this permit, and certainly no reason why it should be delayed or refused. It would in no way be detrimental to the ultimate development of the Flint River, nor would it delay any action in relation to the develop ment of the Flint river. I am sending a copy of this let ter to the Butler Herald and ask ing them to print it as a public service to the people of Taylor County. Assuring you of my desire to co operate with you in any and all matters, now and in the future, I remain, Very truly yours, RALPH R. UNDERWOOD. R. B. McvFadden, Pastor.
