Re: New Washington 'Heights Community
Development Conference,Inc.
;Dear Mayor. Fire:
I serve.as legal counsel to New Washington Heights
Community Development Conference, Inc., and represen-
tatives of this organization are scheduled to appear
before the City Commission on Monday afternoon, March
31, 1980, to address the issue of continued funding by
the City.of this organization for economic development
in the Culmer-Overtown Communities beyond the current
contract year of the organization which ends June 30,
1980.
Over the past several days, I have obtained in-
formation from reliable sources in the community that
has convenced me, from my preliminary examination of the
information thus far, that certain members of the City of
Miami staff are actively involved in a conspiracy to
destroy New Washington Heights Community Development
Conference, Inc., and such actions may subject the City
to a civil suit.
To afford me an opportunity to fully evoluate.;this.`
information and prepare to present it to you-and:other

a public or private meeting,
I would like for the meeting
scheduled for Monday afternoon
to be postponed. My request
in this regard is not based
upon on.effort on my part to
delay meeting the commissioners,
but is based instead upon a sincere
request for more time
to evaluate this information.
I await word from your office.
S' cerely,
