October 14, 1975 ‘eye > 4 a pe = ~ The Honorable Keith C. Warner 544 North Barlow Clearfield, UT Dear Street | 84015 Sir: I am a local pastor in the Ogden area with a congregation of © approximately 700 members. I am concerned about the action taken against the Ogden Area Community Action Agency on the basis of a discrimination charge as a criteria for cutting the funds. ‘I an eoncerhed because the action. that ‘has been taken has affected the entire commmity. Furthermore, the low income people are benefited by this program. It has been my understanding that the Community Action Agency program is designed to overcome poverty instead of creating poverty. I submit that this premature decision is against what the judicial process calls for - that a person or agency is innocent until proven guilty and it is my belief that you have a moral obligation to assist inn releasing the funds until such charges are a proven fact. : As a concerned pastor in the commnity, I solicit your help in securing funds for Ogden Area Community Action Agency to continue with a well-balanced program to fight poverty and vege our youth an Opporeunaty:- to know a better life. _ Sincerely, Wes he Rev.
