Dear Mr. Pinkston:

I have received a copy of your telegram to Mr. Chandler and
his letter of reply, dated February 20, concerning the formation of the
Bedford-Stuyvesant coalition. i

As Chairman of the Board of Higher Education committee charged
with the responsibility of seeking presidents for two of our new community
oe _ colleges, including community college number seven, I would like to invite
the steering committee of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition on Educational
Needs and Services to meet with our committee on March 14,-at 5:30 P.M.
The meeting will be held in the conference room of the Board headquarters
at 535 East 80th Street, New York City.

This ‘tase was selected after speaking with the members of the
committee and determining that it was the earliest date at which all were
available. If this date is not convenient for the members of the steering
committee, please contact Dean Joseph Shenker (360-2181) and he will arrange
for another subsequent date,

I look forward to meeting the members of the steering committee
and to discussing with them the issues related to our efforts to seek a
president for the new community college in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Sincerely,

freck tA bk (er ae [—~
