The author of the letter, James Ares R. Jones, is responding to comments about the City of Faith.

Jones believes it is not appropriate for a federal official to dictate a state agency's decision.

The recipient of the letter, Mr. Forrest LaRue, is supportive of Jones stance on the City of Faith and does not believe the delegation should get involved.
