I look forward to working with you to achieve this important goal. In order that we may be better able to determine the scope of this project, initially we will need an overview of your state's activities in this area to date; a list of projects and programs, both public and private, now underway; and a statement on the approach your Governor feels would be the most appropriate in reaching this goal for your state. I would appreciate receiving this information, along with copies of any research material that might be avail- able from your state's resources. Jean Traweek, Special Assistant to the Director of the Women's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, has been assigned to my office to assist in coordinating this project. As soon as we have had an opportunity to review your material, we will be back in touch with you. I sincerely appreciate your assistance and look forward to working with you in the future. Siicexely, J dy . P achee Special Assistant to the President Intergovernmental Affairs
