E.J. Wyckoff REG. REAL ESTATE BROKER 1325 N.E. 31st ST. FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. Jan. 3, 1961. Hon. Farris Bryant, Tallahassee, Fla. My dear Gov., I am writing to you at this time, with a problem which I have already written Sen. Smathers twice. That is relative to the Cubn problem, which is now spilling over into this area. My idea was that since the Gov. had assigned a million dollars for relief, why not open Opa Locka base, which is not in use, for the refugees. There they could conduct their own schools, have their own hospital, as well as housing and it would call for but little supervision and would relieve a lot of congestion all around. There should be a very careful screening of the refugees. In this way there could be a saving of money on the project. If you feel it worth considering, I hope you can push it to a successful conclusion, as I feel I will never be able to do. Sincerely yours, E.J. Wyckoff
