We. enjoyed very much the interesting discussion we had in your office and were particulary impressed by your straight forward, sensitive approach to community needs and aspirations. I would like to briefly inform you of an excellent meeting we had with Denis A. Russ, President of the MBDC, George T. Neary, Administrative Director of the Preservation League, Nancy Liebman, Jorge G. Gomes and Tom Mooney of your staff and Henry A. Green from the University of Miami . • In this meeting we proposed a joint preservation program of the ART DECO DISTRICT OF MIAMI BEACH, and the INTERNATIONAL STYLE ARCHITECTURE OF TEL-AVIV, both were built during the thirties and forties and bothe , form unique urban fabrics. These urban fabrics viewed by both communities as great opportunities for the cities' improved quality of life and as a lever for economic development. We set up a joint working group, coined initialy as T.A.M.B. (the Tel Aviv - Miami Beach Working Group on the study and preservation of their urban architecture) . We would be delighted to have Mr. Gomes and Mr. Mooney "on board" as well . We would like to get your personal support for this joint effort by putting forward the appropriate announcement as well as nominating a senior representative of your staff to represent the City of Miami Beach in the T.A.M.B. group. * 68 Ben Gurion Blvd 64589 Tel Aviv Yafo Israel Tel (97.2 31�5217080,�Fax (972 3)5237754 K E� `} • MUNICIPALITY OF TEL AVIV-YAFO OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER Although a bit early and perhaps premature we would like to explore the possibility of your personal participation in the International Style Arcitecture events schedueled to take place in Tel Aviv in May 1994.
