Dear Representative:

We in the Georgia State AFL-CIO want to express our sincere appreciation to you for the cooperation and assistance you gave us during the 1968 session of the Georgia Legislature.

It was a real pleasure to work with you and share views on various bills before the House of Representatives, your understanding and assistance to us was invaluable.

We are grateful for the passage of H.B. 861 and S.B. 203 improving the benefits for injured workers and improving the Workmen's Compensation Act. Our injured workers are now receiving improved benefits due to your action. H.B. 926 eliminating the waiting week before being eligible for unemployment benefits voted out of the House of Representatives by a vote of 151 to 37 although died in Senate Committee was a real tribute to your fairness, we shall try again. H.B. 1645 local bill for public employes is now law and should help public employes.

Our members who visited the Capitol during our Legislative Conference, have a better understanding as to how the State Government functions. If we can be of any assistance to you please call on us.

Sincerely,

[signed]

W. H. Montague Sr., President
Georgia State AFL-CIO
