By the Grace of G-d 12th of Kislev, 5735 Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

In reply to your inquiry,

It is obvious that the letter which I wrote some time ago about the Issur (Halacha Prohibition) to be a member of the Synagouge Council of America, as well as, of the Board of Rabbis, which was publicized at the time, is of course still valid.

It is most suprising that there could be a doubt about any possible change in this position regarding this matter.

With esteem and blessing

/Signature/ M. Schneerson
