This is a formal letter from François Peraldi, Mayor of Portet-sur-Garonne, dated October 12, 1998, addressed to Monsieur Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The letter informs Wiesel that, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and following a request from Amnesty International to name a public site after a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, the Municipal Council of Portet-sur-Garonne has unanimously decided to name the esplanade in front of the city hall "Esplanade Elie WIESEL." The Mayor seeks Wiesel's agreement for this honor and extends an invitation for him to inaugurate the esplanade at a date of his choosing.
