Typed Letter signed: "Robert Krueger", 1 page, 8x10½. Washington, D.C., 1975 April 22. On letterhead of the Congress of the United States House of Representatives addressed to Dr. Herman R. Goldberg, Associate Commissioner for Equal Educational Opportunity, Office of Education, Department of Health Education and Welfare, Washington, D.C. In full: "Dear Mr. Goldberg: Enclosed with this letter is another [Not included] requesting your favorable consideration of an ESAA grant program ap-plication, submitted by the San Felipe-Del Rio Consoli-dated School District. Originally, I was under the mistaken impression that San Felipe-Del Rio requested my assistance in gaining approval of an application for a bi-lingual education program. This explains an earlier letter, which was misdirected to Dr. Molina. Please accept my apologies for the mix-up; I hope that your consideration of this worthy San Felipe-Del Rio ESAA project can proceed apace. Best wishes, Yours Sincerely," The E.S.A.A. Bilingual Project was designed to establish a comprehensive program of bilingual education in Spanish and English in schools with the highest concentration of Spanish dominant Mexican American students.
