February 27, 1961 5-.. A Mr. Hilton Shahan Cunningham and Shahan 216 Windsor Hotel Abilene, Texas Dear Hilton: I appreciate your very good letter of February 23rd K in which you expressed opposition to a bill before the Legislature which would allow REA's to operate within city limits. This bill was heard before the House State Affairs Committee on Monday evening, February 20th and was referred to a sub-committee for further study. How- ever, Speaker Turman has stacked this committee in favor of the RSA's and I feel sure that this bill will be on the floor of the House sometime in the near future. While I do believe in the original purpose for which REA was created, I do not believe they should be allowed toooperate in the city and enjoy an unfair tax advantage. o i Therefore, when this proposal comes to the floor of the House you may be assured that it will receive an unfavor- able vote from me. I am glad you have expressed your interest in the op- eration of our state government by writing me your feelings on this matter. I trust that whenever other items come be- fore the Legislature in which you are inteested, you will let me know. Sincerely yours, Truett Latimer TL:lm Eno.
