Unity in Atlanta.

Thank you for your coverage of the excellent program partnership between the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund and the Harvard executive program [:Governing 101," October 28]. I was fortunate to be able to participate and have grown as an elected official as a result. A minor correction to my account needs to be made: I am not a candidate for mayor in 2006. I believe I said that I will run for reelection as council president in 2005, and if I am lucky enough to be reelected, I'll run for mayor of some other position in six years. The year 2006 is not an election year in Atlanta. But more important, I am a supporter of the direction of the city under our current mayor, Shirley Franklin, and wish to clarify lest that be misunderstood.
