Philip Randolph November 15, 1967 Dear Steering Committee Member: At the last meeting of the Steering Committee, it was suggested that the Coalition should seriously consider taking a position in opposition to several of the Social Security Amendments already approved by the House of Representatives and now being considered by the Senate. It was suggested that the House Amendments were not only contrary to general and accepted standards of welfare aid and the trend toward raising those standards; but the Amendments, if passed, would result in local governments having to assume an increased share of the costs of the total welfare load. The Steering Committee decided that an analysis should be made of the problem and the House's position and distributed to the members. This has been accomplished and a Fact Sheet and an analysis are enclosed. We have reviewed the Fact Sheet and analysis and concur with the Legislative Committee's estimate of the House amendments as being essentially negative in nature. Testimony before the Hous e Ways and Means Committee makes it clear that segments of the Nation are anxious to reverse the increase in the number of children receiving aid. However, this concern dealt with approaching the problem at the cause s rather than limiting the aid. The main ob jective of Social Security Amendments as o r iginally introduced was to move families toward financial inde p e ndence. The Aid to Familie s with Dependent Chi l dren Program was designe d to k e ep families toge ther .

Mayor Jerome Cavanagh was unable to attend because of severe weather. Staff members present included Mr. Ron Linton, Mr. John Feild and Mr. Alfred Eisenpreis. The Chairman opened the meeting by asking for a general review of the progress being made by the Coalition and the public response to its efforts. The staff and the Committee then discussed recent activities of the Task Forces on Local Coalitions, Private Employment, Communications and Housing. In reviewing the financial report the question was raised concerning the status of the unpaid pledges and the likelihood of their being received. The staff reported that while there had been some delay, the outlook appeared favorable and it was hoped that the projected income would b e realized by the end of January. Mr. Schlesinge~ asked for clarification regarding the relationship between the Urban Coalition and Urban America and the staff reported that they were now completely separate organizations although the earlier relationship had been one of close cooperation between Urban America, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities in bringing the Coalition into being. The Committee nex t turned to the question of future organization in order to evaluate the tentative future budget prepared by th~ staff. The staff reported on the current discussions, concerning futur e organization and indicated that major decisions would have to be made b y the Steering Committee con cer n i ng this in the immediate futu r e.

The Committee next turned to the question of future organization in order to evaluate the tentative future budget prepared by the staff. The staff reported on the current discussions, concerning future organization and indicated that major decisions would have to be made by the Steering Committee concerning this in the immediate future. In view of this, Mr. Schlesinger proposed and Mr. Spaulding agreed that it would be more appropriate for the Committee at this stage to recommend an interim budget than to attempt any recommendations concerning an annual budget. Accordingly, the committee agreed to recommend to the Steering Committee an interim budget for a three month period beyond January 31 at a minimum level of $50,000 with the same controls and procedures guiding the operations in order that the Coalition may complete its further organization during this period. This will enable the Steering Committee to take into account the recommendations of the various Task Forces and to make some judg- ments concerning the scope of the program. The committee indicated it could comment that the projected budget prepared by the staff appeared to be reasonable, and could be adjusted upward or downward depending upon the decisions made by the Steering Committee concerning organization.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

December 18, 1967 Report of the Committee on Budget and Finance The Committee has reviewed the financial report for the Coalition's activities from July 31, 1967 through November 30, 1967. A copy of the report is attached. It appears that the experience of the first four months of operations has produced a substantial degree of organization approximately within the projected budget approved by the Steering Committee on August 23. The Committee notes that the current and projected level of activity through January 31, 1968 will require the fulfillment of the outstanding pledges. The Committee recommends that the Coalition extend its interim budget for an additional three months through April 30, 1968 at a level of at least $50,000 to enable the Coalition and its Task Forces to complete its organizational phase. Looking beyond this, the Committee believes that the future annual budget can only be determined after the Steering Committee has determined the scope of its program. The projected budget for operations developed by the staff appears reasonable and can be increased or decreased based upon the Steering Committee actions during the next several months · as the organizational phase is completed. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document December li, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO2 Members of the Steering Committee Urban Coalition FROM: John Gunther, U. S. Conference of Mayors Chairman, Working Committee on Organization SUBJECT: The Urban Coalition in 1968 Your Working Committee on Organization met and based on that meeting and subsequent discussions with individual members of the Working Committee, I submit this report. l. The Urban Coalition should ontinue its efforts toward assur- ing an equitable share of the benefits from the nation's economy for the residents of our central cities. The Urban Coalition should be responsive to but independent of the individual elements of it. The Coalition should seek to facilitate the implementation of policies developed by it and others and con- curred in by the Coalition. Areas of substantive concern should be education, employment, and housing, including related community facilities and services. The.Coalition should encourage the formation of local coalitions to develop and implement plans for the solution of communityw problems. The National Coalition, through local coalitions and by direct action, should support policies to order private and public priorities to meet the pressing and long neglected needs of the central cities. 2. The Steering Committee is the governing body of the Coalition and it may add to its number as it deems appropriate. The Steering Committee shall select its chairman or co-chairmen from its members and shall determine the substance of the areas of the Coalition activities, establish a budget and employ a National Coordinator. 3. There shall be a Council of Local Coalitions. This Council will be made up of two representatives from each local coalition and it shall select two of its members to serve on the national Steering Committee. The Council will serve in an advisory capacity to the Steering Committee. 4. Each member of the Steering Committee may designate an individual to represent him on the Working Committee. The Working Committee shall select a chairman or co-chairman from its members, and may establish committees as needed to oversee the implementation of decisions by the Steering Committee, and pre- pare proposals for the consideration of the Steering Committee. 5. Areas of Coalition activity will be explored in depth by task forces established by the Steering Committee and responsible to the Steering Committee. 6. The Coalition shall employ such staff as its budgeted resources permit. The staff will be under the direction of a National Coordinator who may be retained and serve at the pleasure of the Steering Committee. The staff will provide services as necessary to the Steering Committee, the Council of Local Coalitions, the task forces and the Working Committee. 7. Staffing and funding should be planned on a one-year basis; and prior to January 1, 1969, a comprehensive review should be made to asses progress toward the objectives of the Urban Coalition and to make such recommendations as may be appropriate for its continu- ation.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Under the $125,000 Standard Oil grant, the city's Police Department will train men and women from poverty areas for career employment in the private sector. The approximately 50 trainees will perform civilian work in the Department during half of their work time and attend school the other half. They will be paid about $60 a week during the sixmonths training period. Calling the new endeavor an "experimental program", the Mayor said "I am delighted that Standard Oil (New Jersey) has made this project possible. It is an excellent example of cooperation between the private and public sectors." Milo Brisco, a vice president and board member of Standard Oil (New Jersey) and the company's representative on the New York Coalition, joined the mayor in making the announcement. They said the new program, the first to be undertaken by the New York Coalition, was developed by Police Commissioner Howard R.

We though·c you would be interested in comparing the President's statement with the goal contained in the Urban Coalition's Statement of Principles adopted at the Emergency Convocation: Coalition Goal The President There are some half million unemployed, hard-core unemployed, in our principal cities. We just have to go and find jobs for them . I am going to cal l in the businessmen of America and say one of t wo things have t o h appen: You have to help me go out and find jobs for these people, or we are going to have to find jobs in the Government f or them and offer every one of them a job. I think that is one thing that cou ld be done . I think that will have to be done, as expensiv e as it is . Government and business must accept responsibility -to provide all Americans with opport unity to earn an adequate income. Private industry must greatly accelerate its efforts to recruit, train, and hire the hard-core unemployed . When the pr ivate sector is unable to provide employment to those who are b oth able and willing to work, then in a free society the government must of n e c e ssity assume the responsibility and act as the employer of last resort or must assure adequate i ncome for those who are unable to work. The pre ss interpr eted the President's sta tement as an important new p o licy p o s ition on the gover nment's r esponsibilit y . At a press conference the f ollowing day, Rep . Carl D. Perkins (Ky. ), chairman of the House Educ ation a n d Labor Committee said he would s uppor t whatever bill i n the field o f employment the Pres i d ent sen d s to Congr e s s next year.

We thought you would be interested in comparing the President's statement with the goal contained in the Urban Coalition's Statement of Principles adopted at the Emergency Convocation: The President There are some half million unemployed, hard-core unemployed, in our principal cities. We just have to go and find jobs for them. I am going to call in the business- men of America and say one of two things have to happen: You have to help me go out and find jobs for these people, or we are going to have to find jobs in the Govern- ment for them and offer every one of them a job. I think that is one thing that could be done. I think that will have to be done, as ex- pensive as it is. Coalition Goal Government and business must accept responsibility to provide all Americans with opportunity to earn an adequate income. Private industry must greatly accelerate its efforts to recruit, train, and hire the hard-core unemployed. When the private sector is unable to pro- vide employment to those who are both able and willing to work, then in a free society the government must of necessity assume the responsibility and act as the employer of last resort or must assure adequate income for those who are unable to work. The press interpreted the President's statement as an important new policy position on the government's responsibility. At a press con- ference the following day, Rep. Carl D. Perkins (Ky.), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee said he would support whatever bill in the field of employment the President sends to Congress next year. said, Providing jobs for those who can't find private employment, he "is the proper role for government". EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES Despite bad weather that closed the Detroit airport for several hours on December 18, seven members of the Educational Disparities Task Force were able to get together for a scheduled meeting. They held a spirited discussion of the problems which exist in this area and began concentration on those which they felt the Coalition could effectively combat. The Task Force will meet again at 2:30 p.m. on January 8 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.

EQUAL HOUSING Plans are in progress for a National Action Session on Equal Housing Opportunities to be held in Chicago at the Conrad Hilton Hotel on January 18. The Task Force has concentrated on the completion of program development papers. COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC SUPPORT Two well-illustrated publications are in the works and will soon be mailed to those interested in the work of the Coalition. The first is a report, including the texts of major addresses, on the Mobiliza- tion Conference held in Chicago on October 17. The second will be a similar publication reporting on the Private Employment Conference held in Atlanta on December 13. HOUSING, RECONSTRUCTION AND INVESTMENT Progress continued on the major working paper being prepared by the Task Force as a guide for the Coalition in the development of a long-range program. STEERING COMMITTEE Unavoidable scheduling problems for several of the principals on the Steering Committee resulted in a postponement of the meeting scheduled for December 18 in Detroit to January 8 in Washington, D.

Conference of Mayors Chairman, Working Committee on Organization SUBJECT: The Urban Coalition in 1968 Your Working Committee on Organization met and based on that meeting and subsequent discussions with individual members of the Working Committee, I submit this report. 1. The Urban Coalition should antinue its efforts toward assur- ing an equitable share of the benefits from the nation's economy for the residents of our central cities. The Urban Coalition should be responsive to but independent of the individual elements of it. The Coalition should seek to facilitate the implementation of policies developed by it and others and con- curred in by the Coalition. Areas of substantive concern should be education, employment, and housing, including related community facilities and services. The Coalition should encourage the formation of local coalitions to develop and implement plans for the solution of community problems. The National Coalition, through local coalitions and by direct action, should support policies to order private and public priorities to meet the pressing and long neglected needs of the central cities. 2. The Steering Committee is the governing body of the Coalition and it may add to its number as it deems appropriate. The Steering Committee shall select its chairman or co-chairmen from its members and shall determine the substance of the areas of the Coalition activities, establish a budget and employ a National Coordinator. 3. There shall be a Council of Local Coalitions. This Council will be made up of two representatives from each local coalition and it shall select two of its members to serve on the national Steering Committee.

The Working Committee shall select a chairman or co-chairman from its members, and may establish committees as needed to oversee the implementation of decisions by the Steering Committee, and pre- pare proposals for the consideration of the Steering Committee. 5.
