Dear Mr. Silk,

Thank you for your kind invitation to serve as a Trustee Member of the National Assembly.

I am afraid, however, that I belong already to too many groups that I cannot find time for, and am afraid that this would be the same result if I agreed to join the National Assembly.

At any rate, please extend my gratitude to the Bkoarddof Directors for extending the invitation.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. Leonard S. Silk, President
The National Assembly for Social Policy & Development, Inc.
