Letter from John H. Sanders and Mario Marcel Salas of Organizations United for Eastside Development to Benjamin Hooks, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

[Letter from John H. Sanders to Henry B. Gonzalez - July 13, 1979]
Letter from John H. Sanders, president of Organizations United for Eastside Development (OUED), to congressman Henry B. Gonzalez. The letter was written as a follow-up, and as a request for help, after Sanders met Gonzalez in Washington D. C. over problems brewing in the San Antonio community. It would seem that the City Manager and members of its staff made concerted efforts to undermine urban development, community centers, and other services that would have been beneficial to San Antonio's marginalized ethnic communities.

Letter from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to Mario Marcel Salas, president of the Black Coalition on Mass Media (BCMM). Only one page of their correspondence has been provided, however.

[Letter from Mario Marcel Salas to Complaints Division of the FCC - April 23, 1979]
Letter from Mario Marcel Salas, president of the Black Coalition on Mass Media, to the complaints and compliance division of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The letter Mr. Salas sends is to inquire about the validity of the ruling, if such a ruling even occurred.
