(a) Each e'i'nployee must realize that the --Government's basic and controlling purpose in employing him is the public interest, rather than his private or personal interest, and that he can never have a right of tenure that transcends the public good. He can properly be a Government employee only as long as it remains in the public ,interest for him to be one. Public trust and confidence in the integrity of the Government are para.mount. (b) (1) This basic principle applies with special force and effect in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which deals directly with important segments of the public, and whose success depends upon public trust and confidence in its actions. The official actions of the Department often··have a direct bearing upon the financial and other interests of individuals, firms, and institutions with which it does business. Furthermore, the effective accomplishnient"oftnebepartmeWs ~sion is "si.gnifioa.ntly dependent u'pon a pubt\c image that engenders confidence in the Department's integrity. Accordingly, the avoidance of any involvement that tends to damage that image is a responsibility of exceptional importance for all employees who participate in or influence official operating determinations that affect the interests of those with whom the Department does business. (2) If there is knowledge of an employee's involvement in or association with circumstances reasonably construed to reduce public confidence in the acts or determinations of the Department, such knowledge may be sufficient cause for the initiation of action adverse to the employee. Employees, therefore, are alerted to the gravity with -which the Department will view. any such involvement, especially if it has to do with conflicts of interest or the compromise of integrity-whether real or only appar.ent. § 0.735-202 Gifts, entertain ment, and f avors. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, an employee shall not solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, any gift, -gratuity, favor, entertainment, loan, cir any other thing of monetary value, from a person who: (1) Has, or is seeking to obtain, cont r actual or other business or finan cial rela tions with the Department ; (2) Conducts operations or activities tha t a re regula ted by the Denartment: or (3) Has interests t h at m ay be substantially affect ed by the performance or nonperformance of the employee's official duty. (b) The prohibitions of p a ragraph (a ) of t his section do not apply t o: (1 ) The acceptance of customary business services fr om banks or other financial institutions if such services are obt ained under terms and conditions available to the general public; <2) Obvious family or personal relationships, such as those· between the employee __aµd his _parents, children, or spouse;· when the "circunistances make it clear that it i~ those relationships rather than , the busmess of the persons concerned which are the motivating factors; (3) The acceptance of food and refreshments of nominal value on infrequent occasions in the ordinary course of a luncheon or dinner meeting or other meeting or on an inspection tour where an employee may properly be in attendance; (4) The acceptance of unsolicited advertising or promotional. material, such as pens, pencils, note pads, calendars, and other items of nominal intrinsic value. (c) An employee_ shall avoid any action, whether or not specifically prohibited by the regulations in this part, which might result in, or create the appearance of: <1) Using public office for private gain; (2) Giving preferential treatment to any person; (3) Impeding Government efficiency or economy; (4) Losing complete independence or impartiality; or (5) Making a Government decision outside official channels. (d) An employee sha.11 not solicit contributions from another employee for a gift, or make a donation as a gift, when such gift is for an employee in a superior official position. An employee in a superior official position shall not accept a gift presented as a contribution from employees receiving less salary than himself. (e) An employee shall not accept a gift, present, decoration, or uther thing from a foreign government unless authorized by law. · § 0.73 5-20 3 Outs ide activity.

(b) An employee shall not receive a ny salary or anything of monetary value from a private source as compensa tion for his services- to the Government (18 U.S.C. 209). (c) Full- ti.me employees and par t time employees with a regularly scheduled tour of duty must obtain the prior approval of a designated personnel officer before engaging in outside employment in the following categories: -(1) Employment related to or similar to the substantive programs conducted · by any part of ·the Department.

However, an employee shall n ot, either for or without compensation, engage in teaching, lecturing, or writing that is dependent on -information obtained as a result of his employment by the Department, except when that information has been made available to the general public or will be made available on request, or when the Secretary or his designee gives written authorization for the use of nonpublic information on the basi...; that the use is in the public · interest. <2) An employee may use his name and title in connect\on with articles for publication which b'ear upon his work in the Department only if he obtains the approval of a designated personnel officer. �(g) This section does not preclude an employee from: (1) Accepting bona fide reimbursem<.int, unless prohibited by law, for actual expenses for travel and such other necessary subsistence as is compatible with this part for which no Government p ayment or reimbursement is made.

PAUL VOL. 21 - No. 11 MARCH 1967 $20.00 PER YEAR "TREND, TREND, WHICH WAY'S THE TREND?" That's the absorbing question which is being debated vigorously by the business and investment communities as the economy feels its way cautiously into 1967. The difficulties of a definitive answer to the question first stated above lie in the apparent contradictions contained in the business· and financial news as it unfolds day after day. For example: the rally in the stock and bond markets in the month of January seemed to be saying that the doubts and uncertainties of the year-end were really unfounded; that . 1967 was going to be another strong year after all. And yet there was a nagging persistence to bearish bulletins about business itself. Automobile production was down 18% in January and 21.5% in the first half of February . Steel-making thus far in 1967 is off last year's pace, with mills currently operating at only 70% of capacity. Durable goods orders in January were down 5 . 1% from last year and business inventories were disturbingly high . Through it all the war in Viet Nam keeps requiring more and more money: President AJohnson's messages to the Congress point up the urgency of expanding the 9perimeters of the Great Society; unemployment in January held at the low level of 3.7% of the labor market (with many cities still below the "point-of-shortage"); and wages are continuing their trend of the past six months. Although the rally in the bond and stock markets faltered in mid-February and bad news once again seemed to capture the spotlight of the public's attention, we have certainly not turned bearish. We still see no recession in the offing (by our definition) and we still would put 1967 in the "plus" column as a whole. BASICALLY, OUR FORECASTING FOCUS IS ON CONSUMERS. During most of the year 1966, financial and capital factors were in bad trend. The stock markets were sagging, the money markets were demoralized and the whole real estate sector of the eco·nomy was dispirited. Yet consumers were more numerous, more prosperous and more fully employed. And business was good indeed! In spite of the anomalous developments thus far in 1967, con~umers are in better basic condition than they were a year ago! In most metropolitan areas, employment in this January was better than last year's. In all such areas, the average income of consumers is higher than it was at this time last year. And it is moving still higher! It is true that about October 1, 1966, the chilling winds of doubt blew over the consumers of the U.S. with the result that their willingness to spend (not their capacity to spend) was momentarily curbed. While they waited to experience a resurgence of their buying enthusiasm, they increased their savings. In other words, they rested their buying oars and took advantage of the biggest inventory of their own goods in the history of the American family. But they did not chan e their fundamental habits! As spring comes --- and if their incomes hold we think they will --- they'll get right back into the spending stream to take ~dvantage of the higher living standards which are within their grasp. And once they do that, we'll forget about the dwindling profits in the last quarter of 1966 and the first of 1967.

One of the reasons that the year-to-year comparisons with the first month of 1966 look so bad is that --- if you remember accurately --- last year started out impressively on the strong side, at least in the major· activity factors of local real estate markets, with sales, mortgage lending and new construction well ahead of the previous year, in most areas. Here is how these activity factors performed in the latest month for which complete national figures are available (January 1967): Real Estate Sales Off a little less than they were in December, sales for the nation were down 14.7% in January, with the following regional comparison with the same month last year: Region Northeast - - Great Lakes - South - Central Prairie Pacific West - Percent Change - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mountain - - - - - - - - - - - 8.0 15 . 7 6.2 18.4 20.1 The reasons for the slow selling pace were not much changed from those which have prevailed in the past few months. The sharp drop in new home construction and completion was a major factor. Normally the sale of a new house results in from two to five sales of other dwelling units as occupants play a game of "musical chairs" in the upgrading process. No new houses; no occ~pancy shifts down the line. In addition, the promise of lower mortgage money rates (given wide publicity, especially since October) has caused many prospective Selected NATIONAL Economic Indicators buyers of existing houses to wait for better terms.

Moreover, improved market conditions in most space markets (especiall y in the Northeast, Great Lakes and South regions) caused potential sellers to scent higher occupancies and rentals --- thus causing them to firm their ideas of value. Fina lly, a rapidly rising stock market p roved a lure to speculators looking fo r a f as t return on investment. We look for unfavor able y ear-to-ye ar comparisons in t h e sa l es marke t s to continue for the fi r s t q u a rt e r of this year, after whi c h we e xpe ct me a s urable improvement. Mortgage Lending The n a tiona l d e cline s ince last year in mor tg a ge lend i ng for the late st month �THE REAL ESTATE FORECAST AUTHORITY _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ PAGE 3 (January) was 33.5% in the number of total dollar volume of those loans. tinued to improve, the actual volume highly selective and cautious nature mortgage loans closed and 42.4% in the While mortgage money conditions conof lending was still low, due to the of lenders returning to the markets.

As noted above, the drop of interest rates in the basic money markets during the month of January was a little less than remarkable. However, at the end of that month and all during February, these trends were reversed. Yields on treasury bills, municipals and corporates were up steadily, week-by-week in February. This yo-yo action of money rates in the first eight weeks of 1967 was not reflected in the mortgage money rate situation. Reason: the supply-demand ratio in the mortgage money markets did not parallel that in the basic money markets. Here were the differences: 1. The savings flow into real estate-oriented institutions was greatly improved over a year ago. On the other hand, mortgage demand (in the kind of loans scared lenders now consider acceptable) was disappointing. As a result, on balance, there was more money than there were loans. 2. In the basic money markets, demand held high and supply was not meaningfully improved. Money lenders found that they had underpriced their commodity and took a second look at their potentials. We see no particular "threat" in the February developments to the long-term tr e nd of mortgage money. 1967 will continue to score improvements in this se ct o r . New Construction One o f the mu ch-touted "bullish" factors cited by those who are optimistic about 1 967 is t he belief that the ailing home-building industry will stage a come b ack i n t he year. So- called building stocks have shown outstanding str e n g th on t h e n ation's stock markets as speculators have hungrily snapped th e m up in an t i c i patio n of higher sales and earnings. These se ntime nts hav e not only been encouraged by the statistics of housing construction in t h e past three months (January housing starts were at a s e asona lly adjus t ed a nnual rate of 1 , 243,000 units --- up 14.6% from De c e mbe r and up a whopping 47% from last October' s postwar low), but by the longe r range pros p e c ts f or a d ramati c incr ease in t h e number of young married coupl e s starting i n 1 968 . �PAGE 4 _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tk 1/4Uo,u,( MARKET LET.YER Certainly (as this Letter has pointed out for several months), the residential markets in most local areas have gained strength in virtually all local areas --- and are postured for a burst of new supply in many. In our opinion, the high expectations of the building industry (like those which have pushed savings and loan stocks skyward since last fall) tend to exaggerate the actual prospects for building profits --- either on the part of the developer or the materials manufacturer . The reason: the costs of money, materials, labor and land are such that development profits must await a higher general rental market to encourage and support a meaningfully higher volume of new construction. The real profits are to be made in the purchase of good, sound, welllocated and well-designed existing property which will experience sharply enhanced earning power before a new building boom can get started.

Originally known as the "Demonstration Cities Program," it was recently renamed the "Model Cities Program" to placate Congressmen who feared their constituents would think the bill encouraged civil rights marches and other "demonstrations!" Since this program may have important impacts upon big-city real estate markets, we will explore certain key aspects of it in this month's Special Research Report. The Model Cities Program was originally devised to counteract the following undesirable tendencies which had appeared in the Federal government's attempts to aid cities, especially large central cities: h 1. An enormous number of Federal programs were being administered by many different Federal --- and city --- departments without much coordination. A recent Office of Economic Opportunity manual lists over 250 Federal aid programs, most of which are applicable in cities ,. 2. Funds passed out under these programs tended to be widely dispersed over the urban landscape. Instead of really trying to upgrade a small area by focusing a whole battery of urban renewal, health, antidelinquency, manpower training, education and other programs on it, the Federal government was scattering its shots too broadly . Hence each slum received too little assistance to counteract the forces "naturally" dominant there. 3. Each program assisted with Federal funds tended to be the same in all parts of a city, and often all over the country, both because one set of Federal rules governed it and because big-city bureaucracies wanted to adopt "uniform and equal" policies in all neighborhoods. As a result, specific programs were often badly adapted to the peculiar needs of non-typica l neighborhoods, especially low-income ghettos. 4. A great deal of urban renewal assistance was designed not so much to eliminate blight or improve the living conditions of low-income re sidents, but to bolster the sagging economies of big-city downtown business districts. Thus the wealthy were the biggest beneficiaries, and the poor were merely shifted from one slum to another. These complex maladies demanded a complex remedy --- and that is just what the Model Cities Program is designed to produce. In fact , the Guidelines describing how t o apply for a gran t to plan (but not e xecute ) this program are over 50 pages long. Henc e we can only mention their most salient features here, before a n a l yz i ng some of their major implications. Part ic i pation in the program by any given city involves three stages. The pr e - application stage lasts unti l an application for a planning grant is completed a nd approved by HUD . No Fede r al financing is available for filling out an a pplica ti o n . Yet it is so complex that many cities have spent months at it and only four h ave formally filed applications (as of February 25, 1967). HUD is like l y t o disapprove of almost everyone's application at first until it is adjus t e d t o r easonable conformance with the many criteria described below. After HUD a ppr o v a l is obtained, the planning stage begins. This can last from si x to twe l ve mo nths, a n d can be financed up to 80% by HUD g rants (though the total a utho r ized to HUD for such planning is only $24 mil lion over two years). Fi n ally, for those few cities receiving final approval, the e x ecution stage a rr ives .

City Area (such as 2/3 financing for urban renewal), and "block grant" for up to 80% of the local share it would up. This bonus can be used for additional activities in which would otherwise not be eligible for Federal The myriad specific criteria which Model City plans must meet include the following major ones summarized from HUD's Program Guide: 1. The program must be comprehensive. Specifically, it should contain the following components: physical improvement, housing, transportation, education, manpower and economic development, recreation and cultural, crime reduction, health and social services and public assistance. 2. The program should provide for administrative machinery at the local level to carry out all its aspects on a consolidated and coordinated basis. Preferably, this means direct linkage to the mayor or other chief executive. 3. It should make a substantial impact on the physical, economic and social problems in the model neighborhood area. 4. It should remove or arrest blight and decay in the selected area or areas of the city. 5. It should be of sufficient magnitude to contribute to the sound development of the entire city. 6. It should make marked progress in reducing social and educational disadvantages, ill health, underemployment and lack of social services necessary to se·rve the poor and disadvantaged of the area. 7. It should provide for widespread citizen participation. 8. It should provide maximum opportunities for employing residents of the area in all phases of the program and enlarged opportunities for work and training~ 9. It should contribute to a well-balanced city with a substantial increase in the supply of standard housing of low and moderate cost. 10. It should contribute to a well-balanced city with maximum opportunities in the choice of housing accommodations for all citizens of all income levels. 11. It should contribute to a well-balanced city with adequate public facilities, commercial facilities a dequate to service the residential ar eas , and ease of access between residential areas and centers of employment. 12. I t should provide for a comprehensive plan for the r elocation of individuals, families, business concerns and nonprofit organizations. In addition, eac h program should requir e re-examination of local laws, be consis tent with comprehensive metropolitan-wide planning, be initiated within a short period of time (under five years), embody high standards of urban design , maintain historic sites, make maximum use of new technology, use cost- benefit analysis, conform to civil rights requir ements , encourage maximum private enterprise, not reduce previous local spending in the Model City area , and be backed by adequate local resources. �THE REAL ESTATE FORECAST AUTHORITY _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ PAGE 7 In setting out this extraordinarily ambitious set of requirements, HUD is like a bachelor stating he will only marry a girl with Jacqueline Kennedy's poise, Jayne Mansfield's figure, Grace Kelly's face, Elizabeth Taylor's allure and Barbara Hutton's money! In fact, he would be fortunate to get any one of these charms, as HUD will be fortunate to get even a majority of its requirements actually met by any given city. Although each individual criterion seems justified, the group taken together constitute too radical a departure from present urban government practice to be fully achieved in any single city. Specifically, we believe that HUD's program will encounter five major obstacles and will have to compromise with them in many cases. These are as follows: 1. All three of the major objectives of the Model Cities Program --coordination, innovation and specific adaptation of programs to ghetto areas --- run counter to well-entrenched bureaucratic tendencies in city governments. City --- and Federal --- departments used to carrying out their own functions without much checking with each other will resist intimate cooperation in planning their programs. Moreover, innovation requires changing established behavior patterns, and few things are more difficult for large bureaucracies. Finally, the development of new programs tailored to the needs of ghetto residents, and different from programs in the rest of the city, will run counter to tendencies toward "equal treatment" and "uniformity" long established in some city departments. All three of these frictions will probably be greatest regarding bigcity schools. Many school boards are relatively free from direct political control by city governments; hence it will be hard for mayors to get them to change their ways to fit these criteria. Yet schools are the most important single public institution in almost all ghettos. They alone have the potential power to make up for many of the home deficiencies suffered by children from deprived families. He nce if they are not effectively integrated into the Model Cities Program in a city, and given part of its bonus "block grants," it cannot really achieve its major goals. So one of the key tactics for any city trying to make this program work must be convincing school authorities of the need to create new programs specifically designed for ghetto areas, including programs which use school buildings for many kinds of non-educational activities (such as recreation, social service distribution and adult vocational training) . 2. Concentration of leadership efforts on one Model City neighborhood will be necessary to make this program work; yet this contradicts the fundam e ntal "Law of Over-Dispersion" sacred to politicians. The desire to garn widespread political support naturally leads elected officials t o spread the benefits of any program to all areas under their jurisdiction, even though this causes a loss of the economic benefits of concentration. Hence city politicians will be sensitive to the charge of focusing too much attention on the Model City neighborhood, especially since it will be a low-tax-paying ghetto area. So they may provide only h alf - hearted leadership in support of such concentration. 3. Ev e n if local a r eas succeed in establishing coordination among th eir own city departments and related agencies, there is no guarantee that Fe d e r al age n cies will similarly cooperate in Washington. For example, whe n a city as k s for a grant from the Department of Health, Education and We l f ar e t hat is u r gently needed for its Model City Program, it may find itse l f at th e e nd of the long " normal processing line" along with a ll oth e r r equ ests, i ncludi n g those in no way associated with Model Citi es . �PAGE S_ _ _ __ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fk ?tat«,,uzl MARKET LETT ER 4. In large cities, it will be impossible to simultaneously meet the two criteria of significant impact on the city as a whole and intensive impact in the Model City neighborhood . If an area is large enough to be a significant slice of the entire city, it will be too big for this program to effect intensively, since total Model City funds are quite limited. 5. The housing requirement in the Guidelines is ambiguous. At one point, it says that. the program must provide "a substantial increase in ·t11e supply of standard housing of low and moderate cost . " But in the next sentence, it says "The program should add to the overall supply of low and moderate-income housing, not decrease it . " The latter requirement is virtrially impossible, since any clearance of substandard and deteriorated units, or reduction in overcrowding, will cause a decline in total supply of low-income housing. Even building new public housing will probably not increase this total supply, though it could easily increase the standard supply . In spite of these drawbacks, the Model Cities Program is ' definitely a worthwhile experiment which could have significant long-run benefits if it is truly conceived of as a means of demonstrating techniques which will later be applied on a much larger scale . Specifically, it may create an incentive for at least some cities to do enough innovating, coordinating, concentrating and adapting of programs to particular needs to give local governments a "shot in the arm." But eventually this tiny shot must be followed by much larger appropriations than those as yet made for Model Cities if the lessons learned are to ·have any truly sizeable impact upon U.S . urban problems.

The Task Force may wish to assign it top Even if this is the case, I believe that ~art II should remain in the agenda. Agenda setting is, in a sense, a process of allocation of scarce resources (Task Force and staff time). The attached agenda represents a rough estimate of all that can be taken on in the time remaining. Changes and/or additions will be , in effect, substitutions and should be based on altering the implicit priorities in the present agenda. Ri char d .~\ I . ,• 'I ' • .1 V ,I .Ji c. Leone �, 3/8/67 A Proposal for Task Force Agenda Part I The staff of the Task Force has spent most of the past three weeks attempting to outline future areas for investigation. Our f~_ints of departure have been based on Task - Force discussions concerning the nature and location of urban ghettos; the definition and measurement of. social deficit areas; the prospects for significant improvement in ghetto job opportunities; the possibility of moving from programs to "flows" (as defined in the Ylvisaker paper); and more focused research in such areas a s housing and welfare programs. These discussions, you will recall, were at a high level of generality and implied further decisions about which areas should be given intensive study- studies which hopefully would produce policy recorrnnendations for the President. In recent Task Force discussions and in interviews with a number of government of~icials another, more general theme has emerged to compete and, in a sense, out-flank the development of Task Force thinking on the above issues. It appears clear that this group believes that the time· has come for a sharp break with previous Federal policy-making and prograunning directed towards urban problems. * The need for a new "laundry list" of marginal adjustments and categorical .aid programs is rejected. , It is In fairness we might concede the Federal government has .only recent ly b egun to look at....~ts role as solving urban problems as opposed to providing welfare 'payments, more' housing etc. The fact that Feds feel this way now is of course a mamor advance. The fact that they increasingly a r e being held respon sible for what happens in urban areas provides some assurance of the potential significance of our work. �2 felt , instead, th a t th e Pr e sid e nt mu s t a lt e r or g o outsid e t h e presen t f r amework (or even create a new framework) for d~cision-making about urb an problems to seek ways and means for achieving national goals in urban areas. The task force believes that present. activity and predict able future activity can be reshaped and criticized productively, but it also is convinced that such an approach offers faint promise as a source of significant innovation in solving urban problems. Ind eed, the Task Force might go a step further and argue that the whole range of ex isting Federal programs and institutions primarily des~gned to solve urban problems have had a relatively minor impact on human and phy s ical development in American cities. This judgment (however qualified) is supported by the foll owi ng -admittedly over-simplified -- reasoning: 1) While the range and size of Federal activity has increased rapidly and while the institutions specifically charged with urban responsibility have multiplied and grown, general economic, social and physical trends have not altered significantly in any large city. 2) It s eems therefore reasonable to assume th at the forces shaping thes e t r ends a r e far more meaningful in affecting the quality of urban 1 i f e than i s th e sum total of Federal· programs focused on "urban ne eds". 3) It appe ar s equa lly r ea s onable to conclude tha t the i nstitut i ons , mechanisms, and dolla rs now available for dev e l opi ng u r ban po licy • ,'I / at the Federal level ar e inad equa s~ ' or misori ent ed in t erms of understanding and confronting some of the most important questions in urban ' areas"·:· : �3 The implications of all this for the Task Force include the following: 1) further infusions of Federal assistance through present or predictable grant-in-aid programs offer little hope of significantly altering major urban trends; therefore the Task Force should not corrnnit a major portion of its limited resources to seeking new devices for such increases. Such devices, as well as adjustments in present devices, should have a place in Task Force recommendations only insofar as they spring from the kind of agenda ·suggested below. 2) The search for more effective levers for influencing urban trends is severely handicapped by the sorts of Federal apparatus and information available for dealing with urban problems. (E.g. see attached paper on social deficits.) 3) The Task Force could most profitably allocate its time to assembling some of the major social and economic questions relevant to ur ban problems; indicating what kinds of institutions and/or devices for policy formulation are in existence or might be created to deal with such questions. (It is even possible that the Task Force might "solve" a question or two and have a basis for more specific _policy recommendations.) Questions might be modeled on the following: 1) One obvious goal for Federal policy . is increasing income and, thus, ~ . .~ J consumer demand in the ghetto. ,..,,, ' ... ~I / �4 (a) Where in the Federal establishment (in HUD?). Is there a means for sorting out the various policy alternatives which might be pursued to achieve this goal (e.g. negative income tax, family allowance, jobs for the poor, etc.). The answer to such a question would include surveying existing sc atte red research and recorrnnendations on the several alternatives and determining whether a basis exists already (though undiscovered) for packaging a Federal approach to fulfilling this goal. If this is so, we migh t recommend some method of pulling together urban-oriented pol icy-making on this questions. If, as is more likely the case, there is no sum total of effort which exhausts the alternative approach e s to this problem our recommendations would include the need for same. In short, the approach involves posing fundamental questions, determining if a solution is now available, and if not, what is needed to begin us down the road towards one. One Task Force goal then becomes - at the most general level not simply to look for the "real" levers in this urban game (we have neither staff, nor time, nor expertise t~ do a thorough job here) but rath er to look for ways of elevating and . refining the level and nature of urban policy-making. • ·, J . ··. ·,.·V I /· �5 It should not be difficult to start this process by agre e ing on an initial list of questions. We already have some. 1) How can we increase consumer demand in the central city? 2) Have we systematically located and defined urban ghettos? 3) Wh a t is needed to create the capacity to calculate social defec t s in urba n areas? 4) Whe re in the Federal establishment is work going forward on the possibilities to altering the flow of entreprenurial activity to increase the share of central city. 5) etc. ' ·. _.: v ,. •·.,I I V �6 ?ar t II The Task Force, it appears, is close to agreement on another s e t of concerns which can be approached by more traditional methods, and presumably would produce more traditional recommendations. 1) Cha nges in Federal assistance systems The Task Force is justified in looking at such proposals as t ax sha ring, combining grant-in-aid programs etc., in terms o f the ir r el a tive impace on cities. It is clear that with a sma ll i nput of staff resources we can contribute a city vie'W' to th i s di a logue . 2) Inc rea s i ng the flow and consistency of investment into lo'W'-income housing in urban areas. For wha t ever re ason there seems to be a "nea ter" problem. We h ave cons i derab le expertis e among Task Force members thems elv e s and shou ld be abl e to a ssembl e a set o f recormnenda tions in th i s area.

We mus t confr ont and ev en judge it if we are t o justify a ma j or break with current approache s . ·. :U .' �If 7 (b) This program also represents the latest Federal response to the "ghetto" problem. Given the political, social and moral imperatives for doing something now about urban ghettos, the Task Force should make some attempt to review and evaluate the early directions of model cities. (c) This program also represents the boldest approach to altering the system of Federal assistance and therefore is related directly to item (1) above. . . ,; · ; t ,; ' �3/8/67 DRA}= FOR DISCUSSION Staff paper on ~-,.o del Cities The discussion which follows treats those problems and conflicts which are li-ely to arise in the implementation of the Model Cities program. Most of them are built into the inte govenunental system in which bdel Cities will operate without t he administrative instnnnents to co ect or direct them. By i mplicat ion, the questions raised in this pape_ are suggestive of conceptual diff icul ties with the Model Cities approach, and not of the effectiveness of those charged with its administration. The Model Cities prog~am is considered by many to be the most useful instnu nt yet put int e hands of American cities by the Federal goverrunent. This program tests several notions: one is that a multitude of catego ical aids can be tied together in a single package and their i mpact maximized in a slum neighborhood; al'lother being that a handful of Americal'l cities can make imaginative and effective use of supplemental fu1ds. Model Cities represents an attractive departure from past Federal efforts in sol ving urbal'l problems but it cannot be expected to overcome t he barriers that those previous effor ts have helped to erect. Consider the perspective of a well-intentioned mayor. A relatively small carrot has been he ld out by t he Federal government, which can be taken and eaten if the mayor can do some things which t he Feder al government cannot: coordinat e and maximize t he impact of a rultitude of cat egorical aids.

Then there is the obvious problem of having to compete for one of seventy slots for which the fiscal rewards are not great. Given constraints oft: is nature, it is not surprising that cities would not involve all the important cowmunity-,~ide agencies and citizens' groups in preparing the initial application as required in the guidelines. There is not time (3-1/2 months between issuance of the guidelines and final application date) and there is not the staff to deal with suggestions and complaintso The city might also wonder how HUD and other Federal agencies are to review a large nur.iber of applications in a very short time and realistically evaluate ,t he thoroughness and comprehensiveness of �3 eac: • T e incentives may be, the efore, on "wi nging it" like the college stude t w.10 stuc y at substitutes reputation , s avvy P and testmanship for d:i.ligen- xam time.

Many relevant categorical prog ams, especially m HEW P are acirninistered thro gh state governrnents with an impressive variety of pl211s regulations, capacities, standards and fiscal strength. It is difficult to i~2gine that n cessary evis · ons in these arrangements can be e_fected in time to assist model neighbor oods. It is equally difficult to envis·on HUD, two levels removed from the source of difficulty, paying a too direct role in effecting such changes. c. Urban renewal is probably disproportionately attractive to citie s planning model neighbo_hood programs .

If the applicat ions are prepared with diligence~ the Federal government will have a central catalogue of the obstacles that it must deal with before real innovation can be achieved. This catalogue would be a systematic vote by seventy cities indicating wher e Federal legislation~ admin·strative r egulations and inter-agency operat ions are t o be revised to be made more relevant to the needs of America~ cities. ,.. ... , The Federal goven1ment should be preparing itsel f for �6 i.11:plementing a hos t of change s that 1-·Jill be suggested by Model Citie s applica1 t s.

Background The l a st generation of Federal activity in urban affairs has deve loped along two line s tha t l ead to growing frustration in a pluralistic society of increa sing mas s and priva te initiativ e : (1) the notion tha t for every urban problem the re should be a sp e cific program which is to b e executed pr incipa lly t hrough a public bur e aucracy ; (2) the d ef inition of urb an prob l em s and polici es in s ta tic (mainly ge ograph i c ) t erms. This ur ba n wor ld is two uni verse s ap ar t fro m the kind of ana l ysi s on wh ich th e econom ic polici es of the U. S . during this s a~e period h ave be en conc eived and e na ct ed. Th e l a tter have derived f r om dynami c ana l ysis expr e ssed in terms o f na tional a ggregat e s. Th i s econo;-nic mod e l ha s h ad at least s ome s embl a nce of internal consi stency , and lev e r s 0• �2 I have been designed which make it possible to effect changes in national economi c behavior at relevant scale. The urban model has not even the pre tense of int erna l consistency, and with its tiny levers exerts a force on urban development so small that even its local effects are barely visible. What is worse, it involves such a massive input of politica l and admi.nistrative t a l ent that the nation's energies and equities are dissipat~d. Despite some lingering prejudice, it is becoming evident to many of us that the simple multiplication of pre sent efforts and redoubling of budg ets will not produce e quiva l ent r esults. In the us e of the existing urban model, we have alre ady r ea ched the point of dimi nishing returns: Ten times the pr e sent urban r enewa l, we lfa r e and other programs will more like ly produc e ten time s the pre s eni frustr a tions r a ther than some multiple of the desired urban outcome . To s ay that the pr e s ent urb an model h as been inadequate is not to s ay th at th e more dy nam ic mode l o f na tiona l e conomi c policy h as been idea l. From many points o f view -- not l eas t the urb a n -- the na tiona l ec onomic model h a s pr oduc ed s ome indi ffe r ent and some times disastT.ous res ults. For one , i t h a s b een ti ed to a singl e-entry bookkeeping of na tiona l b e nef it: a t a lly o f Gross Nationa l Produ ce whi ch r eg i sters pr esumed social ga ins wi t hout of f s e tting measures of soci a l cost. More impor tant, the r e cord er s and eng ineers of a ggrega t e economi c change h ave omitt e d any cons id eration of area - except f or an occas i onal bow to economic r eg ions wh e n a stray member of the peer group or a dr a~a tic accid ent of history (like the TVA) have made it resp e cta bl e . �3 In an age of urban concentration, the failure to include area as one dimension of national economic policy has been folly. And ' i with the prospect of peace being declared, and urban development becoming the object of increas ed public and private spending, the need for a major policy shift is all the more urgent. Consider four examples: 1. The flmv of effective consumer demand into areas of "social deficit" - Bedford-Stuyvesant; North Philadelphia, the ghettoes of our metropolitan areas; the abandoning small towns of the Jersey Pines, the Appalachian chain, etc. In these areas -it is b e coming painfully obvious that pres ent public pro gr ams (renewal; ,ve lfare ; job training and deve lo pment) are not producing much of an effe ctive dema nd, and that until there is such a d er.iand, there won't b e induc ed an adequ a te economic b ase . Thus the growing cry for the nega tive income t ax , the guarant eed minimum income , the fa mily allowanc e , and the "welfare dollar" (of Lloyd's Bank Revi ew , ca. Octob er 1966 ) wh ich giv e s the poor a choic e of expenditures among essential s e rvi ces . The Task Force wi ll not h ave to inv ent propos a ls of this sort; but we can ( a ) sh ow h ow th ey f it int o a more dynamic urb an model; (b) do b ad ly-nee ded di gg ing into the ir pr obable e ff ec ts , relative advantages, and adm inistra tiv e feasibility. �, 4 2. deficit. The flow of investment and enterprise into areas of social Public programs of renewal, housing, and economic opportunity have had discouragingly weak leverage in stimulating the economic development of ghettoed and other declining corrnnunities. that tax policy offers a more promising lead: It may be declaring areas of socia l deficit elig ible sites for Fede ral, st a te and local tax incentive s of various sorts for spe cifi e d kinds o f inv e stment and enterpris e . The proposal is not new; but again, the Task Force can develop its rationa le and explore its fe a sibility. 3. The f low of nat iona l t ax r e sourc e s to sta t e s and mun ic ipa l iti e s, (and to othe r qua si-public instrumentaliti e s for corrnnunity action). The r eadi es t exampl e is the He ller Pl an, which -- along with othe r proposa ls like the sha r ed-t ax -- ba dly n eeds r e sha ping to f it a d e cl a r ed schedul e o f urb an needs and r eforms. It seems cl ear the pre s ent structure of Fede r a l gr ants pr oduce s a flow of r ev enu e s to th e l e sser jurisd ic t i on s which i s too sma ll, too c a t egoric a l, to o i ncoher ent , and too much i n t he c ontro l of s pe cia li z ed t e chn ici ans . It a l so conc entrate s on the a rt of grant sman s hip r a t he r tha n on per formanc e ; and it exa cts sma ll change s i n b ehav i or fro m t h e bur eau c r ac i e s ra ther than ma j or ch ange s and c onc ess ions fr om gov ernors and l eg is l a tur e s , mayor s and c ounci l s ( e.g . , to b e e li g ibl e for a ma jor b lock gra nt from the ~d er ai governme nt, a Sta t e mi ght b e aske d to expand and r esh a pe it s own r ev enue s y s t em , and mak e some f undament a l changes i n i ts admini stra t i v e structure and procedur e s ) . �5 The Task Force might declare for an increased flm~ of Federal revenues to the States and local governments through more generalized I I grants, and begin to detail some of the more promising ways, means and conditions. (And now that the "growth sector" of central citi e s se ems to be public and non-profit in character (education, health, government, etc.), we might explore the possibility of expanding in lien payments to those municipalities as a major reve,nue source.) 4. The flow of nationa l resources into housing in de cl a r ed areas. This flow has been too sma ll, too erratic, and off the geogyaphical targets of need. The Task Force mi ght review in the persp e ctive of thirty years the efficacy of curr ent devic e s and (e.g. FHA 1 s) conventional wisdom: subsidies; etc. mortgage insuranc e ; below-ma rket-int er es t-rate s; There may be more powe rful levers than these, with more consist e nt effects and ge og raphical accuracy. There are othe r flows to c ons ider: most important, th e flm~s of people to and within the country I s met ropolitan areas, wi th a sp e cial eye to the forces, inc ent ive s, etc ., which sti mu l a t e and shape thos e flows. For example, a low airline fare from Puerto Rico to oth er metropolitan area s than New York might have l essened "The Puerto Rican problem". . �THE WASHINGTON POST January S, 1967 fi.lo Pv-ofit, No Jf-Jf o uses The While House was well · advised to abandon \he proposal for ~ national nonprofit housing corpo r:ition to build in the slums. President Johnso n did ihe right thing. Disposing of that foredoo med idea clears the way for the more hopeful . legislation , that, one hop es, will shortly attack the housing shortage. The concept of a nonprofit builder is, in itself, an unfortunate one. It was in troduced 01iginally to get certai n types of housin g subsidies for lowincome families through Con gress .

The pla w - s f irst described in The New York Times of Nov. 27. It had been devc!oped over a period of scvcr::t! months by p ivate hou ing experts and officials of the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-. ment. Low-Interest l\for t.gages T he main purpose of the non- 1 profit group, which would be : called the Urba n Development ' Corporat·on, would be to lure private mortgage money and the private construction industry into the rehabilitation fi eld on a large scale. The main indu cement would be long-term, low-interest Government mortga6es. Several Administration off icials said Thursday that U1e plan, which reportedly never reached President Johnson's des:t, was viewed with consider able skepticism, in part because it called for :i.caui ition of slum properties by the Urban D evelopment Co rpor a tion itself . This meant that the corporation might wind up holding a great many s um properties for which it could find neither buyer s nor ren ters.

As you know, the problems faced by American cities have long been of great concern to the President. He has directed that every effort be made by this Administration to meet the challenge and has called upon the Congress for legislation which will enable the Administration to make a coordinated and comprehensive attack on the problems of the cities. · He now calls upon the members of this Task Force for recommendations on new steps which should be taken as well as for advice on the most effective ways to implement existing legislative authority. This task is as difficult and challenging as it is important, and the President is grateful for your willingness to participate. The first meeting of the Task Force will be held on Friday, Octobe r 28 , 1966, a . m . in Room 303 of the Executive Office Building , Washingto , D . C. atrO r Sincerely, a.

The nation's urban condition demands far more. What more it demands is not simply a matter of money. A much higher level of spending and investment - pri va,t e as well as public is clearly in order. But we concur in your own expressions, and those of your Cabinet, that money in itself is not an urban panacea. We have attempted in the attached report to state what els e i s involved in "working at scale" on the nation's urban problems. We do not pretend to have all the answers, and we are not as certain as we would like to be about those we do put forward. We a re a lso aware of the constraints governing your own and the nation's respons e. Ne vertheless , we conclude our wor k on a note o f g reat urgency. The growing apartheid of our urban populations, ~egregating by race and income, presents this nation with an ugly fact and an ominous future - and possibly a threat to our security which might well overshadow that of Vietnam. This threat may not materialize. Yet we think it would be folly to test .that possibility by doing no more to dispel it than is explicit in the nature and scale · of our current urban efforts. We submit this report to you with our deepest respect and our very best wisheso �Draft 5/10/67 CONFIDENTIAL INTRODUCTION America and its communities are changing with unsettling rapidity. Most of this change has been healthy; and most of the ~roblems it has caused tend to evoke their own solutions. This country - de- spite its transitional strains and its freely-voiced complaints - has an immense capacity for sel1-correction. There is always a temptation - and a pressure - to over-react: to give equal ear to every complaint, to chase off after every problem~ and to wind up with a congeries of programs which may slow up rather than accelerate the nation's natural and long-run capacity for self- correction. Evidence is accumulating that such has already happened in the federal government's response to urban problems over the past twenty years. These have been years of experimentation, improvisation, and probing. On balance, they have been constructive. But neither in scale nor impact have they caught up with the dimensions and force of the · nation's urban trends and developing problems.• The time has come to move from experimentation over a wide front, and in sometimes contrary directions, to an effort a ) which is aimed at selected problems of transcending importance b) which is of a scale large enough to make a difference: c) which is not dissipated by conflicting policies and administrative arrangements: d) which offer powerful incentives to state, local and private initiative, and thereby move toward a "steady state" of continuous problem-solving; e) which begin to erase the public's skepticism -- its growing �Introduction - 2 - feeling that public programs ara not to-bo- taken _seriously, that more is promised than will ever be delivered. The Task Foree presently dalf fot believes there are seven urban· problems which a national etfort at scale -- p~oblems which are not self-correcting, at lsast nbt within a sufferable length of time~ 1) the segregation of race a:nd income~ ai1d' the separation of ghettoed populations from the growth ~ectors of the- urban economy. 2) the lack of provision for urban youth, especially educatiot and jobs. 3) the absence of an urban competence in the determination of national economic policy. 4) the inadequacy of financial flows to and among urban communities, and to the older, depressed areas in particular. 5) the extremely categorical approach to urban programming; the over-centralization of detail; the multiplication of required consents; and the disincentives to community enterpr ise. 6 ) t he me agre f low of talent into pµb lic servi ce at s t ate and local l e ve l s . 7) the lack of provision for l ong-range programming, and for continuous innovation and evaluation. �. III A. URBAN SEGREGATION The crisis of our cities is first of all the _s.e g.r.egation of race and income. There is no urban solution of any validity· that does not deal directly with the questions posed by this segregation. The facts are these: 23% of the total population of our central cities is Negro, and 35% of these Negroes have incomes in the poverty range. Within five years, assuming present population trends and even allowing for current levels of ameliorative public programs, the proportion of Negroes to central city population will rise to 28%, with the same percentage as today remaining in poverty. By 1978, both proportions will be 35%. By 1983, our central cities population Will be 44% Negro, nearly two-fifths of them poor. These are percentages of total central city population. But by 1973, at l e ast 10 of our major citie s will be predomi nantly Negr o ; by 1983, at least 20, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland , Detroit (etc .). To repeat, these proje ctions show what wi ll happen if present population trends continue a nd current governmental policies and levels of spending remain in force. To alter these projections significantly, quantum leaps will have to be taken in public policy and levels of spending. For example, if the size of the Negro population of central cities is ...... ~ .. , __ ,· �to remain what it is approximately 600,000 Negroes_.ea.ch year must move into predominantly white suburbs. That figure would represent from 10-15 times the present rate of Negro out migration. Again, if the proportion of Negroes in poverty is to be reduced to the general poverty rate of the total population, we estimate the costs of that enrichment (projecting current per capita costs of special housing, educational, employment training and other programs) at$ annually over a _____ year period. If the nation were to decide to equalize both the Negro's settlement pattern and his incidence of poverty, our best estimate of total costs would be$ _________ per year over a ---~year period. These may seem staggering figures. What is staggering to us is that urban policy has been developed in this country without attempting these calculations, yet fostering the illusion that one o r the other - - or both -- of the two alte rnatives, enrichment and dispe rsion, were s ome how being accomplished and at scale . The fact is that both the rate of enrichment and the rate of dispersion are l agging ; and the s e gra gati on o f r ace and income in our great metropolitan areas is outstripping whatever we are now doing to offse t it. We of the Task Force deplore the segregation that is taking place; and if the choice were ours, we would pay the price of simultaneously reducing the poverty and concentration rates of the Negro population. The prospect of Negro dominance of our central cities we cannot regard with equanimity, although we are almost persuaded �otherwise by some compelling arguments (a)' that the transition is likely to be much more moderate than alarmists might portray; and (b) that the coming of Negroes to political power might well provide the psychological lift that community has long been awaiting. Wnat we still regard with distaste is the freezing of racial and class distinctions into political boundary lines; and what we fear· is even the remotest chance of escalating present frictions into guerrilla and even civil war. We therefore submit the following recommendations and alternative courses of action: �Draft 5/10/67 CONFIDENTIAL III B. Urban Youth: Education and Employment: . Further statement on educational and employment proble·ms of the ghetto. But also pointing up the general problems of youth in urban and suburban society, with the prospect of increasing restiveness and under-employment not entirely related to race and poverty. III c. Need to integrate construction trades. The Urtan Calculus in National Economic Policy Elaboration of relevant trends: the Baumol thesis re the escalating costs of a service economy and the increasing reliance on the public market: the employment and urban design implications of moving from manufacturing to services; the importance of adding an urban competence to the Council of Economic Advisers, Treasury, Internal Revenue, Jt. Congres -· sional Committee, etc. The use of economic leverages (e.g. attainted titles) to accomplish urban purposes. The question of elevating HUD or part of it t o a level where it participates in economic policy decisions. II~ O. Urban Financial Flows The erratic flow of resources into housing and other critical urban functions. The liklihood of revenue sharing and block grants, and the importance of tying these developments into a strategy for rationalizing and extending state and local revenue sources. The need for increasing consumer income and entrepreneural incentives in the ghetto, linking these with reforms of the welfare and tax systems. �- III E. 2 - Administrativ~ Barriers: The problem of administering 440 separate feder-a-1--programs affecting urban communities, and the hopeful prospect of consolidating and simplifying federal grants. Restrictive policies of critical agencies, including FHA. Possible re- commendation of neighborhood development corporation~, with share of capital advanced from national community development bank. An emerging role for the States,; and reconsideration of metropolitan planning requirements both to reduce administrative congestion and to encourage dispersal of ghetto populations. Discussion of use of incentives, including "bounty" device for making ghetto residents economically attractive to local governments. III F .

(a) Each e'i'nployee must realize that the --Government's basic and controlling purpose in employing him is the public interest, rather than his private or personal interest, and that he can never have a right of tenure that transcends the public good. He can properly be a Government employee only as long as it remains in the public ,interest for him to be one. Public trust and confidence in the integrity of the Government are para.mount. (b) (1) This basic principle applies with special force and effect in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which deals directly with important segments of the public, and whose success depends upon public trust and confidence in its actions. The official actions of the Department often··have a direct bearing upon the financial and other interests of individuals, firms, and institutions with which it does business. Furthermore, the effective accomplishnient"oftnebepartmeWs ~sion is "si.gnifioa.ntly dependent u'pon a pubt\c image that engenders confidence in the Department's integrity. Accordingly, the avoidance of any involvement that tends to damage that image is a responsibility of exceptional importance for all employees who participate in or influence official operating determinations that affect the interests of those with whom the Department does business. (2) If there is knowledge of an employee's involvement in or association with circumstances reasonably construed to reduce public confidence in the acts or determinations of the Department, such knowledge may be sufficient cause for the initiation of action adverse to the employee. Employees, therefore, are alerted to the gravity with -which the Department will view. any such involvement, especially if it has to do with conflicts of interest or the compromise of integrity-whether real or only appar.ent. § 0.735-202 Gifts, entertain ment, and f avors. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, an employee shall not solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, any gift, -gratuity, favor, entertainment, loan, cir any other thing of monetary value, from a person who: (1) Has, or is seeking to obtain, cont r actual or other business or finan cial rela tions with the Department ; (2) Conducts operations or activities tha t a re regula ted by the Denartment: or (3) Has interests t h at m ay be substantially affect ed by the performance or nonperformance of the employee's official duty. (b) The prohibitions of p a ragraph (a ) of t his section do not apply t o: (1 ) The acceptance of customary business services fr om banks or other financial institutions if such services are obt ained under terms and conditions available to the general public; <2) Obvious family or personal relationships, such as those· between the employee __aµd his _parents, children, or spouse;· when the "circunistances make it clear that it i~ those relationships rather than , the busmess of the persons concerned which are the motivating factors; (3) The acceptance of food and refreshments of nominal value on infrequent occasions in the ordinary course of a luncheon or dinner meeting or other meeting or on an inspection tour where an employee may properly be in attendance; (4) The acceptance of unsolicited advertising or promotional. material, such as pens, pencils, note pads, calendars, and other items of nominal intrinsic value. (c) An employee_ shall avoid any action, whether or not specifically prohibited by the regulations in this part, which might result in, or create the appearance of: <1) Using public office for private gain; (2) Giving preferential treatment to any person; (3) Impeding Government efficiency or economy; (4) Losing complete independence or impartiality; or (5) Making a Government decision outside official channels. (d) An employee sha.11 not solicit contributions from another employee for a gift, or make a donation as a gift, when such gift is for an employee in a superior official position. An employee in a superior official position shall not accept a gift presented as a contribution from employees receiving less salary than himself. (e) An employee shall not accept a gift, present, decoration, or uther thing from a foreign government unless authorized by law. · § 0.73 5-20 3 Outs ide activity.

However, an employee shall n ot, either for or without compensation, engage in teaching, lecturing, or writing that is dependent on -information obtained as a result of his employment by the Department, except when that information has been made available to the general public or will be made available on request, or when the Secretary or his designee gives written authorization for the use of nonpublic information on the basi...; that the use is in the public · interest. <2) An employee may use his name and title in connect\on with articles for publication which b'ear upon his work in the Department only if he obtains the approval of a designated personnel officer. �(g) This section does not preclude an employee from: (1) Accepting bona fide reimbursem<.int, unless prohibited by law, for actual expenses for travel and such other necessary subsistence as is compatible with this part for which no Government p ayment or reimbursement is made. However, an employee may not be reimbursed, and payment may not be made on his behalf, for excessi\Te personal living expenses, gifts, entertainment or other personal benefits.

The prohi-bitions of this paragraph do not apply to Federal Credit Unions that have been approved as Title I lending institutions. (8) Participate directly or indirectly in any real estate activities for speculative purposes as distinguished from bona fl.de investment purposes. <b, This section does not preclude an employee from having a financial interest or engaging in financial transactions to the same extent as a private citizen not employed by the Department so long as it is not prohibited by law, Executive Order 11222, or this part. § 0. 735-205 actions.

PAUL VOL. 21 - No. 11 MARCH 1967 $20.00 PER YEAR "TREND, TREND, WHICH WAY'S THE TREND?" That's the absorbing question which is being debated vigorously by the business and investment communities as the economy feels its way cautiously into 1967. The difficulties of a definitive answer to the question first stated above lie in the apparent contradictions contained in the business· and financial news as it unfolds day after day. For example: the rally in the stock and bond markets in the month of January seemed to be saying that the doubts and uncertainties of the year-end were really unfounded; that . 1967 was going to be another strong year after all. And yet there was a nagging persistence to bearish bulletins about business itself. Automobile production was down 18% in January and 21.5% in the first half of February . Steel-making thus far in 1967 is off last year's pace, with mills currently operating at only 70% of capacity. Durable goods orders in January were down 5 . 1% from last year and business inventories were disturbingly high . Through it all the war in Viet Nam keeps requiring more and more money: President AJohnson's messages to the Congress point up the urgency of expanding the 9perimeters of the Great Society; unemployment in January held at the low level of 3.7% of the labor market (with many cities still below the "point-of-shortage"); and wages are continuing their trend of the past six months. Although the rally in the bond and stock markets faltered in mid-February and bad news once again seemed to capture the spotlight of the public's attention, we have certainly not turned bearish. We still see no recession in the offing (by our definition) and we still would put 1967 in the "plus" column as a whole. BASICALLY, OUR FORECASTING FOCUS IS ON CONSUMERS. During most of the year 1966, financial and capital factors were in bad trend. The stock markets were sagging, the money markets were demoralized and the whole real estate sector of the eco·nomy was dispirited. Yet consumers were more numerous, more prosperous and more fully employed. And business was good indeed! In spite of the anomalous developments thus far in 1967, con~umers are in better basic condition than they were a year ago! In most metropolitan areas, employment in this January was better than last year's. In all such areas, the average income of consumers is higher than it was at this time last year. And it is moving still higher! It is true that about October 1, 1966, the chilling winds of doubt blew over the consumers of the U.S. with the result that their willingness to spend (not their capacity to spend) was momentarily curbed. While they waited to experience a resurgence of their buying enthusiasm, they increased their savings. In other words, they rested their buying oars and took advantage of the biggest inventory of their own goods in the history of the American family. But they did not chan e their fundamental habits! As spring comes --- and if their incomes hold we think they will --- they'll get right back into the spending stream to take ~dvantage of the higher living standards which are within their grasp. And once they do that, we'll forget about the dwindling profits in the last quarter of 1966 and the first of 1967.

One of the reasons that the year-to-year comparisons with the first month of 1966 look so bad is that --- if you remember accurately --- last year started out impressively on the strong side, at least in the major· activity factors of local real estate markets, with sales, mortgage lending and new construction well ahead of the previous year, in most areas. Here is how these activity factors performed in the latest month for which complete national figures are available (January 1967): Real Estate Sales Off a little less than they were in December, sales for the nation were down 14.7% in January, with the following regional comparison with the same month last year: Region Northeast - - Great Lakes - South - Central Prairie Pacific West - Percent Change - - - and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mountain - - - - - - - - - - - 8.0 15 . 7 6.2 18.4 20.1 The reasons for the slow selling pace were not much changed from those which have prevailed in the past few months. The sharp drop in new home construction and completion was a major factor. Normally the sale of a new house results in from two to five sales of other dwelling units as occupants play a game of "musical chairs" in the upgrading process. No new houses; no occ~pancy shifts down the line. In addition, the promise of lower mortgage money rates (given wide publicity, especially since October) has caused many prospective Selected NATIONAL Economic Indicators buyers of existing houses to wait for better terms.

Moreover, improved market conditions in most space markets (especiall y in the Northeast, Great Lakes and South regions) caused potential sellers to scent higher occupancies and rentals --- thus causing them to firm their ideas of value. Fina lly, a rapidly rising stock market p roved a lure to speculators looking fo r a f as t return on investment. We look for unfavor able y ear-to-ye ar comparisons in t h e sa l es marke t s to continue for the fi r s t q u a rt e r of this year, after whi c h we e xpe ct me a s urable improvement.

As noted above, the drop of interest rates in the basic money markets during the month of January was a little less than remarkable. However, at the end of that month and all during February, these trends were reversed. Yields on treasury bills, municipals and corporates were up steadily, week-by-week in February. This yo-yo action of money rates in the first eight weeks of 1967 was not reflected in the mortgage money rate situation. Reason: the supply-demand ratio in the mortgage money markets did not parallel that in the basic money markets. Here were the differences: 1. The savings flow into real estate-oriented institutions was greatly improved over a year ago. On the other hand, mortgage demand (in the kind of loans scared lenders now consider acceptable) was disappointing. As a result, on balance, there was more money than there were loans. 2. In the basic money markets, demand held high and supply was not meaningfully improved. Money lenders found that they had underpriced their commodity and took a second look at their potentials. We see no particular "threat" in the February developments to the long-term tr e nd of mortgage money. 1967 will continue to score improvements in this se ct o r . New Construction One o f the mu ch-touted "bullish" factors cited by those who are optimistic about 1 967 is t he belief that the ailing home-building industry will stage a come b ack i n t he year. So- called building stocks have shown outstanding str e n g th on t h e n ation's stock markets as speculators have hungrily snapped th e m up in an t i c i patio n of higher sales and earnings. These se ntime nts hav e not only been encouraged by the statistics of housing construction in t h e past three months (January housing starts were at a s e asona lly adjus t ed a nnual rate of 1 , 243,000 units --- up 14.6% from De c e mbe r and up a whopping 47% from last October' s postwar low), but by the longe r range pros p e c ts f or a d ramati c incr ease in t h e number of young married coupl e s starting i n 1 968 . �PAGE 4 _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ tk 1/4Uo,u,( MARKET LET.YER Certainly (as this Letter has pointed out for several months), the residential markets in most local areas have gained strength in virtually all local areas --- and are postured for a burst of new supply in many. In our opinion, the high expectations of the building industry (like those which have pushed savings and loan stocks skyward since last fall) tend to exaggerate the actual prospects for building profits --- either on the part of the developer or the materials manufacturer . The reason: the costs of money, materials, labor and land are such that development profits must await a higher general rental market to encourage and support a meaningfully higher volume of new construction. The real profits are to be made in the purchase of good, sound, welllocated and well-designed existing property which will experience sharply enhanced earning power before a new building boom can get started.

Originally known as the "Demonstration Cities Program," it was recently renamed the "Model Cities Program" to placate Congressmen who feared their constituents would think the bill encouraged civil rights marches and other "demonstrations!" Since this program may have important impacts upon big-city real estate markets, we will explore certain key aspects of it in this month's Special Research Report. The Model Cities Program was originally devised to counteract the following undesirable tendencies which had appeared in the Federal government's attempts to aid cities, especially large central cities: h 1. An enormous number of Federal programs were being administered by many different Federal --- and city --- departments without much coordination. A recent Office of Economic Opportunity manual lists over 250 Federal aid programs, most of which are applicable in cities ,. 2. Funds passed out under these programs tended to be widely dispersed over the urban landscape. Instead of really trying to upgrade a small area by focusing a whole battery of urban renewal, health, antidelinquency, manpower training, education and other programs on it, the Federal government was scattering its shots too broadly . Hence each slum received too little assistance to counteract the forces "naturally" dominant there. 3. Each program assisted with Federal funds tended to be the same in all parts of a city, and often all over the country, both because one set of Federal rules governed it and because big-city bureaucracies wanted to adopt "uniform and equal" policies in all neighborhoods. As a result, specific programs were often badly adapted to the peculiar needs of non-typica l neighborhoods, especially low-income ghettos. 4. A great deal of urban renewal assistance was designed not so much to eliminate blight or improve the living conditions of low-income re sidents, but to bolster the sagging economies of big-city downtown business districts. Thus the wealthy were the biggest beneficiaries, and the poor were merely shifted from one slum to another. These complex maladies demanded a complex remedy --- and that is just what the Model Cities Program is designed to produce. In fact , the Guidelines describing how t o apply for a gran t to plan (but not e xecute ) this program are over 50 pages long. Henc e we can only mention their most salient features here, before a n a l yz i ng some of their major implications. Part ic i pation in the program by any given city involves three stages. The pr e - application stage lasts unti l an application for a planning grant is completed a nd approved by HUD . No Fede r al financing is available for filling out an a pplica ti o n . Yet it is so complex that many cities have spent months at it and only four h ave formally filed applications (as of February 25, 1967). HUD is like l y t o disapprove of almost everyone's application at first until it is adjus t e d t o r easonable conformance with the many criteria described below. After HUD a ppr o v a l is obtained, the planning stage begins. This can last from si x to twe l ve mo nths, a n d can be financed up to 80% by HUD g rants (though the total a utho r ized to HUD for such planning is only $24 mil lion over two years).

This bonus can be used for additional activities in which would otherwise not be eligible for Federal The myriad specific criteria which Model City plans must meet include the following major ones summarized from HUD's Program Guide: 1. The program must be comprehensive. Specifically, it should contain the following components: physical improvement, housing, transportation, education, manpower and economic development, recreation and cultural, crime reduction, health and social services and public assistance. 2. The program should provide for administrative machinery at the local level to carry out all its aspects on a consolidated and coordinated basis. Preferably, this means direct linkage to the mayor or other chief executive. 3. It should make a substantial impact on the physical, economic and social problems in the model neighborhood area. 4. It should remove or arrest blight and decay in the selected area or areas of the city. 5. It should be of sufficient magnitude to contribute to the sound development of the entire city. 6. It should make marked progress in reducing social and educational disadvantages, ill health, underemployment and lack of social services necessary to se·rve the poor and disadvantaged of the area. 7. It should provide for widespread citizen participation. 8. It should provide maximum opportunities for employing residents of the area in all phases of the program and enlarged opportunities for work and training~ 9. It should contribute to a well-balanced city with a substantial increase in the supply of standard housing of low and moderate cost. 10. It should contribute to a well-balanced city with maximum opportunities in the choice of housing accommodations for all citizens of all income levels. 11. It should contribute to a well-balanced city with adequate public facilities, commercial facilities a dequate to service the residential ar eas , and ease of access between residential areas and centers of employment. 12. I t should provide for a comprehensive plan for the r elocation of individuals, families, business concerns and nonprofit organizations. In addition, eac h program should requir e re-examination of local laws, be consis tent with comprehensive metropolitan-wide planning, be initiated within a short period of time (under five years), embody high standards of urban design , maintain historic sites, make maximum use of new technology, use cost- benefit analysis, conform to civil rights requir ements , encourage maximum private enterprise, not reduce previous local spending in the Model City area , and be backed by adequate local resources. �THE REAL ESTATE FORECAST AUTHORITY _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ PAGE 7 In setting out this extraordinarily ambitious set of requirements, HUD is like a bachelor stating he will only marry a girl with Jacqueline Kennedy's poise, Jayne Mansfield's figure, Grace Kelly's face, Elizabeth Taylor's allure and Barbara Hutton's money! In fact, he would be fortunate to get any one of these charms, as HUD will be fortunate to get even a majority of its requirements actually met by any given city. Although each individual criterion seems justified, the group taken together constitute too radical a departure from present urban government practice to be fully achieved in any single city. Specifically, we believe that HUD's program will encounter five major obstacles and will have to compromise with them in many cases. These are as follows: 1. All three of the major objectives of the Model Cities Program --coordination, innovation and specific adaptation of programs to ghetto areas --- run counter to well-entrenched bureaucratic tendencies in city governments. City --- and Federal --- departments used to carrying out their own functions without much checking with each other will resist intimate cooperation in planning their programs. Moreover, innovation requires changing established behavior patterns, and few things are more difficult for large bureaucracies. Finally, the development of new programs tailored to the needs of ghetto residents, and different from programs in the rest of the city, will run counter to tendencies toward "equal treatment" and "uniformity" long established in some city departments. All three of these frictions will probably be greatest regarding bigcity schools. Many school boards are relatively free from direct political control by city governments; hence it will be hard for mayors to get them to change their ways to fit these criteria. Yet schools are the most important single public institution in almost all ghettos. They alone have the potential power to make up for many of the home deficiencies suffered by children from deprived families. He nce if they are not effectively integrated into the Model Cities Program in a city, and given part of its bonus "block grants," it cannot really achieve its major goals. So one of the key tactics for any city trying to make this program work must be convincing school authorities of the need to create new programs specifically designed for ghetto areas, including programs which use school buildings for many kinds of non-educational activities (such as recreation, social service distribution and adult vocational training) . 2. Concentration of leadership efforts on one Model City neighborhood will be necessary to make this program work; yet this contradicts the fundam e ntal "Law of Over-Dispersion" sacred to politicians. The desire to garn widespread political support naturally leads elected officials t o spread the benefits of any program to all areas under their jurisdiction, even though this causes a loss of the economic benefits of concentration. Hence city politicians will be sensitive to the charge of focusing too much attention on the Model City neighborhood, especially since it will be a low-tax-paying ghetto area. So they may provide only h alf - hearted leadership in support of such concentration. 3. Ev e n if local a r eas succeed in establishing coordination among th eir own city departments and related agencies, there is no guarantee that Fe d e r al age n cies will similarly cooperate in Washington. For example, whe n a city as k s for a grant from the Department of Health, Education and We l f ar e t hat is u r gently needed for its Model City Program, it may find itse l f at th e e nd of the long " normal processing line" along with a ll oth e r r equ ests, i ncludi n g those in no way associated with Model Citi es . �PAGE S_ _ _ __ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fk ?tat«,,uzl MARKET LETT ER 4. In large cities, it will be impossible to simultaneously meet the two criteria of significant impact on the city as a whole and intensive impact in the Model City neighborhood . If an area is large enough to be a significant slice of the entire city, it will be too big for this program to effect intensively, since total Model City funds are quite limited. 5. The housing requirement in the Guidelines is ambiguous. At one point, it says that. the program must provide "a substantial increase in ·t11e supply of standard housing of low and moderate cost . " But in the next sentence, it says "The program should add to the overall supply of low and moderate-income housing, not decrease it . " The latter requirement is virtrially impossible, since any clearance of substandard and deteriorated units, or reduction in overcrowding, will cause a decline in total supply of low-income housing. Even building new public housing will probably not increase this total supply, though it could easily increase the standard supply . In spite of these drawbacks, the Model Cities Program is ' definitely a worthwhile experiment which could have significant long-run benefits if it is truly conceived of as a means of demonstrating techniques which will later be applied on a much larger scale . Specifically, it may create an incentive for at least some cities to do enough innovating, coordinating, concentrating and adapting of programs to particular needs to give local governments a "shot in the arm." But eventually this tiny shot must be followed by much larger appropriations than those as yet made for Model Cities if the lessons learned are to ·have any truly sizeable impact upon U.S . urban problems.

The Task Force may wish to assign it top Even if this is the case, I believe that ~art II should remain in the agenda. Agenda setting is, in a sense, a process of allocation of scarce resources (Task Force and staff time). The attached agenda represents a rough estimate of all that can be taken on in the time remaining. Changes and/or additions will be , in effect, substitutions and should be based on altering the implicit priorities in the present agenda. Ri char d .~\ I . ,• 'I ' • .1 V ,I .Ji c. Leone �, 3/8/67 A Proposal for Task Force Agenda Part I The staff of the Task Force has spent most of the past three weeks attempting to outline future areas for investigation. Our f~_ints of departure have been based on Task - Force discussions concerning the nature and location of urban ghettos; the definition and measurement of. social deficit areas; the prospects for significant improvement in ghetto job opportunities; the possibility of moving from programs to "flows" (as defined in the Ylvisaker paper); and more focused research in such areas a s housing and welfare programs. These discussions, you will recall, were at a high level of generality and implied further decisions about which areas should be given intensive study- studies which hopefully would produce policy recorrnnendations for the President. In recent Task Force discussions and in interviews with a number of government of~icials another, more general theme has emerged to compete and, in a sense, out-flank the development of Task Force thinking on the above issues. It appears clear that this group believes that the time· has come for a sharp break with previous Federal policy-making and prograunning directed towards urban problems. * The need for a new "laundry list" of marginal adjustments and categorical .aid programs is rejected. , It is In fairness we might concede the Federal government has .only recent ly b egun to look at....~ts role as solving urban problems as opposed to providing welfare 'payments, more' housing etc. The fact that Feds feel this way now is of course a mamor advance. The fact that they increasingly a r e being held respon sible for what happens in urban areas provides some assurance of the potential significance of our work. �2 felt , instead, th a t th e Pr e sid e nt mu s t a lt e r or g o outsid e t h e presen t f r amework (or even create a new framework) for d~cision-making about urb an problems to seek ways and means for achieving national goals in urban areas. The task force believes that present. activity and predict able future activity can be reshaped and criticized productively, but it also is convinced that such an approach offers faint promise as a source of significant innovation in solving urban problems. Ind eed, the Task Force might go a step further and argue that the whole range of ex isting Federal programs and institutions primarily des~gned to solve urban problems have had a relatively minor impact on human and phy s ical development in American cities. This judgment (however qualified) is supported by the foll owi ng -admittedly over-simplified -- reasoning: 1) While the range and size of Federal activity has increased rapidly and while the institutions specifically charged with urban responsibility have multiplied and grown, general economic, social and physical trends have not altered significantly in any large city. 2) It s eems therefore reasonable to assume th at the forces shaping thes e t r ends a r e far more meaningful in affecting the quality of urban 1 i f e than i s th e sum total of Federal· programs focused on "urban ne eds". 3) It appe ar s equa lly r ea s onable to conclude tha t the i nstitut i ons , mechanisms, and dolla rs now available for dev e l opi ng u r ban po licy • ,'I / at the Federal level ar e inad equa s~ ' or misori ent ed in t erms of understanding and confronting some of the most important questions in urban ' areas"·:· : �3 The implications of all this for the Task Force include the following: 1) further infusions of Federal assistance through present or predictable grant-in-aid programs offer little hope of significantly altering major urban trends; therefore the Task Force should not corrnnit a major portion of its limited resources to seeking new devices for such increases. Such devices, as well as adjustments in present devices, should have a place in Task Force recommendations only insofar as they spring from the kind of agenda ·suggested below. 2) The search for more effective levers for influencing urban trends is severely handicapped by the sorts of Federal apparatus and information available for dealing with urban problems. (E.g. see attached paper on social deficits.) 3) The Task Force could most profitably allocate its time to assembling some of the major social and economic questions relevant to ur ban problems; indicating what kinds of institutions and/or devices for policy formulation are in existence or might be created to deal with such questions. (It is even possible that the Task Force might "solve" a question or two and have a basis for more specific _policy recommendations.) Questions might be modeled on the following: 1) One obvious goal for Federal policy . is increasing income and, thus, ~ . .~ J consumer demand in the ghetto. ,..,,, ' ... ~I / �4 (a) Where in the Federal establishment (in HUD?). Is there a means for sorting out the various policy alternatives which might be pursued to achieve this goal (e.g. negative income tax, family allowance, jobs for the poor, etc.). The answer to such a question would include surveying existing sc atte red research and recorrnnendations on the several alternatives and determining whether a basis exists already (though undiscovered) for packaging a Federal approach to fulfilling this goal. If this is so, we migh t recommend some method of pulling together urban-oriented pol icy-making on this questions. If, as is more likely the case, there is no sum total of effort which exhausts the alternative approach e s to this problem our recommendations would include the need for same. In short, the approach involves posing fundamental questions, determining if a solution is now available, and if not, what is needed to begin us down the road towards one. One Task Force goal then becomes - at the most general level not simply to look for the "real" levers in this urban game (we have neither staff, nor time, nor expertise t~ do a thorough job here) but rath er to look for ways of elevating and . refining the level and nature of urban policy-making. • ·, J . ··. ·,.·V I /· �5 It should not be difficult to start this process by agre e ing on an initial list of questions. We already have some. 1) How can we increase consumer demand in the central city? 2) Have we systematically located and defined urban ghettos? 3) Wh a t is needed to create the capacity to calculate social defec t s in urba n areas? 4) Whe re in the Federal establishment is work going forward on the possibilities to altering the flow of entreprenurial activity to increase the share of central city. 5) etc. ' ·. _.: v ,. •·.,I I V �6 ?ar t II The Task Force, it appears, is close to agreement on another s e t of concerns which can be approached by more traditional methods, and presumably would produce more traditional recommendations. 1) Cha nges in Federal assistance systems The Task Force is justified in looking at such proposals as t ax sha ring, combining grant-in-aid programs etc., in terms o f the ir r el a tive impace on cities. It is clear that with a sma ll i nput of staff resources we can contribute a city vie'W' to th i s di a logue . 2) Inc rea s i ng the flow and consistency of investment into lo'W'-income housing in urban areas. For wha t ever re ason there seems to be a "nea ter" problem. We h ave cons i derab le expertis e among Task Force members thems elv e s and shou ld be abl e to a ssembl e a set o f recormnenda tions in th i s area. I n add i t ion, wh il e there are manpower, education and other Task f orces, our i s the only one which 'Wi ll - if it choose s - look a t housing this year . 3) Mode l cit ies (a) This program repres ents, i n a sense, the l atest in Wa shing t on approa che s to urban pr oblems. We mus t confr ont and ev en judge it if we are t o justify a ma j or break with current approache s . ·. :U .' �If 7 (b) This program also represents the latest Federal response to the "ghetto" problem. Given the political, social and moral imperatives for doing something now about urban ghettos, the Task Force should make some attempt to review and evaluate the early directions of model cities. (c) This program also represents the boldest approach to altering the system of Federal assistance and therefore is related directly to item (1) above. . . ,; · ; t ,; ' �3/8/67 DRA}= FOR DISCUSSION Staff paper on ~-,.o del Cities The discussion which follows treats those problems and conflicts which are li-ely to arise in the implementation of the Model Cities program. Most of them are built into the inte govenunental system in which bdel Cities will operate without t he administrative instnnnents to co ect or direct them. By i mplicat ion, the questions raised in this pape_ are suggestive of conceptual diff icul ties with the Model Cities approach, and not of the effectiveness of those charged with its administration. The Model Cities prog~am is considered by many to be the most useful instnu nt yet put int e hands of American cities by the Federal goverrunent. This program tests several notions: one is that a multitude of catego ical aids can be tied together in a single package and their i mpact maximized in a slum neighborhood; al'lother being that a handful of Americal'l cities can make imaginative and effective use of supplemental fu1ds. Model Cities represents an attractive departure from past Federal efforts in sol ving urbal'l problems but it cannot be expected to overcome t he barriers that those previous effor ts have helped to erect. Consider the perspective of a well-intentioned mayor. A relatively small carrot has been he ld out by t he Federal government, which can be taken and eaten if the mayor can do some things which t he Feder al government cannot: coordinat e and maximize t he impact of a rultitude of cat egorical aids. He must correct a -s ituation in whi ch semi- autonomous bureaucracies make decisions about resource allocat i on·, of t en with the r • -· , �2 a1a and comfort of thei F d -ral counterpartso He must o;::,erate with a b wilde.ing maze of state channeled programs whichv through rigidity and reg essiv id fonnulaeP eL ctivcly discriminat .ere _re ot e aga~nst his city. easoi s \vhy few cities can b expected to come up .·ith app_ications wlich, in factp meet the rigorous standards of the guidelmes o Fi st, few cities h ve the talent: person.riel who combine sop: is:icated app eciation o the g antsman' s game with great p_ogrammatic i rri.aginat ion ao not exist be e_:pected to come the city ov ~Tl la ge numbers. p wit. an application that will, favor one area of all oth rs, someth.:.ng very unattractive to men who mus t stm d fo _ el ction i.ri all neighborhoo So notice t· ~re t hey do exist they will In additionp on very s .o t e mayor may have to alter p iorities which have already been set and to which his city 1s corrun ·ttedo This is especial:y true where ur an renewal activity has avoided hard core slum eighborhoods wh ich now must be incorporated into a comprehensive rene.,ral effort. Then there is the obvious problem of having to compete for one of seventy slots for which the fiscal rewards are not great. Given constraints oft: is nature, it is not surprising that cities would not involve all the important cowmunity-,~ide agencies and citizens' groups in preparing the initial application as required in the guidelines. There is not time (3-1/2 months between issuance of the guidelines and final application date) and there is not the staff to deal with suggestions and complaintso The city might also wonder how HUD and other Federal agencies are to review a large nur.iber of applications in a very short time and realistically evaluate ,t he thoroughness and comprehensiveness of �3 eac: • T e incentives may be, the efore, on "wi nging it" like the college stude t w.10 stuc y at substitutes reputation , s avvy P and testmanship for d:i.ligen- xam time. T e costs of not involving mai7.y elements of t he community planning of t e initial appl · cation are substantial. 1n. t1 e Such a process would be an efficient and effective mean!; of ed 1cating t he comrr.i.mi ty P cr:!a::ing ari awar ness and gaining acceptance of s ignific ant inno .1at i ons in l )cal government . Even wh n the planners are favorab l y dispc!: :: J ·:o t his approach it is doubtful that they wi\ l have the time or sta :f support to institute it. In a real s ensep the w2yor ' s troub-e begins when his city 1s selected as a model. He must conduct complex negotiations with alrr.ost as many agenc ies as th re are catego i cal a ids in his application and hope they will 11 fund h i m at r oughly t he s am time. If truly innovat ive , he must secure the unlikeliest kinds of changes from the unlikeliest agenc ies in ' .is city and at the state and Federal level 9 e. g. ~ the welfare system, educational establishment, mortgage bankersg etc. He may have to convince unsympathet ic l egislators t hat legislati ve revisions of sweeping import should be made -- he may even ask for additional funds. a great dea We are asking of a c lass of political animal who seeks always to avoid or resol ve conflict. None of this is t o say t hat t he Federal administr ators of th-=s program will have an ea sy t ime. The gr eatest obs tacle is t he dependence on the categorica l grant progr ams of other Federal agencies for ~:upport arid funding .' Spec ifically: �4 a. In this p_ogram H i ch e hasizes flexibility, c ities must cl:oose amongst categorical prog ams Hhich more often than not hare rigid s tancl,~r s O confus · ng jurisdictional relations a.i7.d mysterious r drr{u~.i stra -~i ve To play a us ful om.sbudsrnan role for the cities vis ··a vis prrcticc:s . tr~ -!::.e 0 other Federal agencies, HUD rust persuade under-ftmd.ed l:· :rograrn adm_;_,'1is'· rs.to s to make subst2..r1tial allocat · ns t o other t.hol1 tra ·!~ · ic,na l recipie.. ts. deally t_ese agencies would also review Model Cities applications and be able to synch onize the grant approvals with those of HUD. b. Many relevant categorical prog ams, especially m HEW P are acirninistered thro gh state governrnents with an impressive variety of pl211s regulations, capacities, standards and fiscal strength. It is difficult to i~2gine that n cessary evis · ons in these arrangements can be e_fected in time to assist model neighbor oods. It is equally difficult to envis·on HUD, two levels removed from the source of difficulty, paying a too direct role in effecting such changes. c. Urban renewal is probably disproportionately attractive to citie s planning model neighbo_hood programs . For one thing there is 250 IP.illion dollars in ear-rnarked funds which may be used by these cities and t he ir use is controlled by the same agency administering Mode l Cities . If other programs are to be more competitivep then ear-marked moneys ITU.lSt be secured and simple administrative arr3Ilgcrnents substituted to attract ~·b del City planners to them. The 1odel Cities approach is an introduction to "consumer al location of resources. 11 This mzans that each city is allotted money with which ·• ,', �5 to "buy" prog · lS in the combination that it sees will have t ,e greate5t in;pact on the problems of that city.

If the applicat ions are prepared with diligence~ the Federal government will have a central catalogue of the obstacles that it must deal with before real innovation can be achieved. This catalogue would be a systematic vote by seventy cities indicating wher e Federal legislation~ admin·strative r egulations and inter-agency operat ions are t o be revised to be made more relevant to the needs of America~ cities. ,.. ... , The Federal goven1ment should be preparing itsel f for �6 i.11:plementing a hos t of change s that 1-·Jill be suggested by Model Citie s applica1 t s.

Background The l a st generation of Federal activity in urban affairs has deve loped along two line s tha t l ead to growing frustration in a pluralistic society of increa sing mas s and priva te initiativ e : (1) the notion tha t for every urban problem the re should be a sp e cific program which is to b e executed pr incipa lly t hrough a public bur e aucracy ; (2) the d ef inition of urb an prob l em s and polici es in s ta tic (mainly ge ograph i c ) t erms. This ur ba n wor ld is two uni verse s ap ar t fro m the kind of ana l ysi s on wh ich th e econom ic polici es of the U. S . during this s a~e period h ave be en conc eived and e na ct ed. Th e l a tter have derived f r om dynami c ana l ysis expr e ssed in terms o f na tional a ggregat e s. Th i s econo;-nic mod e l ha s h ad at least s ome s embl a nce of internal consi stency , and lev e r s 0• �2 I have been designed which make it possible to effect changes in national economi c behavior at relevant scale. The urban model has not even the pre tense of int erna l consistency, and with its tiny levers exerts a force on urban development so small that even its local effects are barely visible. What is worse, it involves such a massive input of politica l and admi.nistrative t a l ent that the nation's energies and equities are dissipat~d. Despite some lingering prejudice, it is becoming evident to many of us that the simple multiplication of pre sent efforts and redoubling of budg ets will not produce e quiva l ent r esults. In the us e of the existing urban model, we have alre ady r ea ched the point of dimi nishing returns: Ten times the pr e sent urban r enewa l, we lfa r e and other programs will more like ly produc e ten time s the pre s eni frustr a tions r a ther than some multiple of the desired urban outcome . To s ay that the pr e s ent urb an model h as been inadequate is not to s ay th at th e more dy nam ic mode l o f na tiona l e conomi c policy h as been idea l. From many points o f view -- not l eas t the urb a n -- the na tiona l ec onomic model h a s pr oduc ed s ome indi ffe r ent and some times disastT.ous res ults. For one , i t h a s b een ti ed to a singl e-entry bookkeeping of na tiona l b e nef it: a t a lly o f Gross Nationa l Produ ce whi ch r eg i sters pr esumed social ga ins wi t hout of f s e tting measures of soci a l cost. More impor tant, the r e cord er s and eng ineers of a ggrega t e economi c change h ave omitt e d any cons id eration of area - except f or an occas i onal bow to economic r eg ions wh e n a stray member of the peer group or a dr a~a tic accid ent of history (like the TVA) have made it resp e cta bl e . �3 In an age of urban concentration, the failure to include area as one dimension of national economic policy has been folly. And ' i with the prospect of peace being declared, and urban development becoming the object of increas ed public and private spending, the need for a major policy shift is all the more urgent. Consider four examples: 1. The flmv of effective consumer demand into areas of "social deficit" - Bedford-Stuyvesant; North Philadelphia, the ghettoes of our metropolitan areas; the abandoning small towns of the Jersey Pines, the Appalachian chain, etc. In these areas -it is b e coming painfully obvious that pres ent public pro gr ams (renewal; ,ve lfare ; job training and deve lo pment) are not producing much of an effe ctive dema nd, and that until there is such a d er.iand, there won't b e induc ed an adequ a te economic b ase . Thus the growing cry for the nega tive income t ax , the guarant eed minimum income , the fa mily allowanc e , and the "welfare dollar" (of Lloyd's Bank Revi ew , ca. Octob er 1966 ) wh ich giv e s the poor a choic e of expenditures among essential s e rvi ces . The Task Force wi ll not h ave to inv ent propos a ls of this sort; but we can ( a ) sh ow h ow th ey f it int o a more dynamic urb an model; (b) do b ad ly-nee ded di gg ing into the ir pr obable e ff ec ts , relative advantages, and adm inistra tiv e feasibility. �, 4 2. deficit. The flow of investment and enterprise into areas of social Public programs of renewal, housing, and economic opportunity have had discouragingly weak leverage in stimulating the economic development of ghettoed and other declining corrnnunities. that tax policy offers a more promising lead: It may be declaring areas of socia l deficit elig ible sites for Fede ral, st a te and local tax incentive s of various sorts for spe cifi e d kinds o f inv e stment and enterpris e . The proposal is not new; but again, the Task Force can develop its rationa le and explore its fe a sibility. 3. The f low of nat iona l t ax r e sourc e s to sta t e s and mun ic ipa l iti e s, (and to othe r qua si-public instrumentaliti e s for corrnnunity action). The r eadi es t exampl e is the He ller Pl an, which -- along with othe r proposa ls like the sha r ed-t ax -- ba dly n eeds r e sha ping to f it a d e cl a r ed schedul e o f urb an needs and r eforms. It seems cl ear the pre s ent structure of Fede r a l gr ants pr oduce s a flow of r ev enu e s to th e l e sser jurisd ic t i on s which i s too sma ll, too c a t egoric a l, to o i ncoher ent , and too much i n t he c ontro l of s pe cia li z ed t e chn ici ans . It a l so conc entrate s on the a rt of grant sman s hip r a t he r tha n on per formanc e ; and it exa cts sma ll change s i n b ehav i or fro m t h e bur eau c r ac i e s ra ther than ma j or ch ange s and c onc ess ions fr om gov ernors and l eg is l a tur e s , mayor s and c ounci l s ( e.g . , to b e e li g ibl e for a ma jor b lock gra nt from the ~d er ai governme nt, a Sta t e mi ght b e aske d to expand and r esh a pe it s own r ev enue s y s t em , and mak e some f undament a l changes i n i ts admini stra t i v e structure and procedur e s ) . �5 The Task Force might declare for an increased flm~ of Federal revenues to the States and local governments through more generalized I I grants, and begin to detail some of the more promising ways, means and conditions. (And now that the "growth sector" of central citi e s se ems to be public and non-profit in character (education, health, government, etc.), we might explore the possibility of expanding in lien payments to those municipalities as a major reve,nue source.) 4. The flow of nationa l resources into housing in de cl a r ed areas. This flow has been too sma ll, too erratic, and off the geogyaphical targets of need. The Task Force mi ght review in the persp e ctive of thirty years the efficacy of curr ent devic e s and (e.g. FHA 1 s) conventional wisdom: subsidies; etc. mortgage insuranc e ; below-ma rket-int er es t-rate s; There may be more powe rful levers than these, with more consist e nt effects and ge og raphical accuracy. There are othe r flows to c ons ider: most important, th e flm~s of people to and within the country I s met ropolitan areas, wi th a sp e cial eye to the forces, inc ent ive s, etc ., which sti mu l a t e and shape thos e flows. For example, a low airline fare from Puerto Rico to oth er metropolitan area s than New York might have l essened "The Puerto Rican problem". . �THE WASHINGTON POST January S, 1967 fi.lo Pv-ofit, No Jf-Jf o uses The While House was well · advised to abandon \he proposal for ~ national nonprofit housing corpo r:ition to build in the slums.

The nation's urban condition demands far more. What more it demands is not simply a matter of money. A much higher level of spending and investment - pri va,t e as well as public is clearly in order. But we concur in your own expressions, and those of your Cabinet, that money in itself is not an urban panacea. We have attempted in the attached report to state what els e i s involved in "working at scale" on the nation's urban problems. We do not pretend to have all the answers, and we are not as certain as we would like to be about those we do put forward. We a re a lso aware of the constraints governing your own and the nation's respons e. Ne vertheless , we conclude our wor k on a note o f g reat urgency. The growing apartheid of our urban populations, ~egregating by race and income, presents this nation with an ugly fact and an ominous future - and possibly a threat to our security which might well overshadow that of Vietnam. This threat may not materialize. Yet we think it would be folly to test .that possibility by doing no more to dispel it than is explicit in the nature and scale · of our current urban efforts. We submit this report to you with our deepest respect and our very best wisheso �Draft 5/10/67 CONFIDENTIAL INTRODUCTION America and its communities are changing with unsettling rapidity. Most of this change has been healthy; and most of the ~roblems it has caused tend to evoke their own solutions. This country - de- spite its transitional strains and its freely-voiced complaints - has an immense capacity for sel1-correction. There is always a temptation - and a pressure - to over-react: to give equal ear to every complaint, to chase off after every problem~ and to wind up with a congeries of programs which may slow up rather than accelerate the nation's natural and long-run capacity for self- correction. Evidence is accumulating that such has already happened in the federal government's response to urban problems over the past twenty years. These have been years of experimentation, improvisation, and probing. On balance, they have been constructive. But neither in scale nor impact have they caught up with the dimensions and force of the · nation's urban trends and developing problems.• The time has come to move from experimentation over a wide front, and in sometimes contrary directions, to an effort a ) which is aimed at selected problems of transcending importance b) which is of a scale large enough to make a difference: c) which is not dissipated by conflicting policies and administrative arrangements: d) which offer powerful incentives to state, local and private initiative, and thereby move toward a "steady state" of continuous problem-solving; e) which begin to erase the public's skepticism -- its growing �Introduction - 2 - feeling that public programs ara not to-bo- taken _seriously, that more is promised than will ever be delivered. The Task Foree presently dalf fot believes there are seven urban· problems which a national etfort at scale -- p~oblems which are not self-correcting, at lsast nbt within a sufferable length of time~ 1) the segregation of race a:nd income~ ai1d' the separation of ghettoed populations from the growth ~ectors of the- urban economy. 2) the lack of provision for urban youth, especially educatiot and jobs. 3) the absence of an urban competence in the determination of national economic policy. 4) the inadequacy of financial flows to and among urban communities, and to the older, depressed areas in particular. 5) the extremely categorical approach to urban programming; the over-centralization of detail; the multiplication of required consents; and the disincentives to community enterpr ise. 6 ) t he me agre f low of talent into pµb lic servi ce at s t ate and local l e ve l s . 7) the lack of provision for l ong-range programming, and for continuous innovation and evaluation. �. III A. URBAN SEGREGATION The crisis of our cities is first of all the _s.e g.r.egation of race and income. There is no urban solution of any validity· that does not deal directly with the questions posed by this segregation. The facts are these: 23% of the total population of our central cities is Negro, and 35% of these Negroes have incomes in the poverty range. Within five years, assuming present population trends and even allowing for current levels of ameliorative public programs, the proportion of Negroes to central city population will rise to 28%, with the same percentage as today remaining in poverty. By 1978, both proportions will be 35%. By 1983, our central cities population Will be 44% Negro, nearly two-fifths of them poor. These are percentages of total central city population. But by 1973, at l e ast 10 of our major citie s will be predomi nantly Negr o ; by 1983, at least 20, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland , Detroit (etc .). To repeat, these proje ctions show what wi ll happen if present population trends continue a nd current governmental policies and levels of spending remain in force. To alter these projections significantly, quantum leaps will have to be taken in public policy and levels of spending. For example, if the size of the Negro population of central cities is ...... ~ .. , __ ,· �to remain what it is approximately 600,000 Negroes_.ea.ch year must move into predominantly white suburbs. That figure would represent from 10-15 times the present rate of Negro out migration. Again, if the proportion of Negroes in poverty is to be reduced to the general poverty rate of the total population, we estimate the costs of that enrichment (projecting current per capita costs of special housing, educational, employment training and other programs) at$ annually over a _____ year period. If the nation were to decide to equalize both the Negro's settlement pattern and his incidence of poverty, our best estimate of total costs would be$ _________ per year over a ---~year period. These may seem staggering figures. What is staggering to us is that urban policy has been developed in this country without attempting these calculations, yet fostering the illusion that one o r the other - - or both -- of the two alte rnatives, enrichment and dispe rsion, were s ome how being accomplished and at scale . The fact is that both the rate of enrichment and the rate of dispersion are l agging ; and the s e gra gati on o f r ace and income in our great metropolitan areas is outstripping whatever we are now doing to offse t it. We of the Task Force deplore the segregation that is taking place; and if the choice were ours, we would pay the price of simultaneously reducing the poverty and concentration rates of the Negro population. The prospect of Negro dominance of our central cities we cannot regard with equanimity, although we are almost persuaded �otherwise by some compelling arguments (a)' that the transition is likely to be much more moderate than alarmists might portray; and (b) that the coming of Negroes to political power might well provide the psychological lift that community has long been awaiting. Wnat we still regard with distaste is the freezing of racial and class distinctions into political boundary lines; and what we fear· is even the remotest chance of escalating present frictions into guerrilla and even civil war. We therefore submit the following recommendations and alternative courses of action: �Draft 5/10/67 CONFIDENTIAL III B. Urban Youth: Education and Employment: .

An Accredited Chapter of the National Safety C ouncil Atlanta, Georgia Vol. 6 , No. 1 January, 1967 Officials Wage War on Traffic Violators Atlanta's mayor and other top city officials have vowed to cut the traffic death toll in half during 1967, after 1966 ended with an all-time high of 105 fatalities. A report to the mayor, prepared by the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council and presented just before the end of the year, summarized the traffic safety problems of the area and outlined specific proposals for improvement. An analysis of the types of traffic deaths which increased in 1966 prompted a call for law enforcement emphasis in the types of violations leading to these deaths. Atlanta police are concentrating on the offenses of driving under the influence, speeding, red-light and stop-sign violations. One of the main points of the report was the vital need for efforts to restore the right to use radar speed timing equipment to Atlanta area police. This requires legislative action, however, and cannot be put into effect immediately. The 1966 record of 105 traffic deaths in Atlanta exceeded the previous record, set in 1965, by 20, and 1965 had gone over 84 for the first time in 30 years. Comparing Atlanta with the 31 major cities reporting to the National Safety Council, only one city shows a worse traffic death rate through November. Supe rinten de nt J. L.

The AT&SC "Report to the Mayor" has been presented at meetings of METROPOL, the organization composed of police chiefs from the metropolitan area, and MACLOG, the Metropolitan Atlanta Council of Local Governments.

Therefore, both organizations have vowed all-out campaigns along the lines announced for the City of Atlanta in an effort to stop the needless loss of lives. All concerned agencies within the metropolitan area are of the opinion that only a uniform joint effort can be success.fol. �Mayor Calls for Strong Action GEORGIA TRAFFIC DEATHS - 1950 th rough 1966 Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., (C) presides over meeting of officials concerned with Atlanta's traffic safety to receive Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council recommendations for improvement.

A letter t o Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., accompanying the recent re po rt on traffic safety, outlined the following as the "key" recomme ndations to reduce Atlanta's traffic death rate: 1. Make every effort to secure right to use radar speed timers. 2. Use of radar by State Patrol in the city during interim. 3. Increase and improve police enforcement against speed ing and driving under the influence. 4. Utilize special side-marked police cars in enforcemen t plan. 5. Flagrant traffic la w violators causing accidents resul ting in dea t h should be chargl!d with murder rather than manslaughter. 6. Increase number of traffic enforcement officers. 7. Strict court policies of license suspension fo r speedin g and driving under the influence. 8. Establish an "accident prevention team" under Traffic Engineer. 9. Major public education program to be undertaken by Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council for understanding and support of re port. 10. Special emphasis to reach young drivers through schools. 11. Expand prog ram to cove r metropolitan area through METROPOL and MACLOG. 12. Enactment by General Assembly of legislation in fields of drunk driving driver education and driver re-examination. �NSC Presents First Home Safety Analysis The first National Safety Council analysis of Atlanta's Home Safety Inventory was presented at a recent meeting attended by those who submitted inventory questionnaires and representatives of PTA organizat ions a nd women's clubs. Richard E. Manuell, NSC Home Safety Director, from Chicago, presented the a nalysis and made recommendaRichard E. Manuell tions for improving the overall home safety picture. The meeting, called a "Can-Do-Did" luncheon, was presided over by Dean Dickens of the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council. Governor Carl E. Sanders (C) buckled-up a seat belt to formally apen the affices of the new Georgia Safety Council in the Hartford Building, Atlanta. In so doing he coupled together the efforts of the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council and t he new state Council, with Atlanta Presi dent George Goodwin (L) and Georgia Council President Edgar J. Forio holding the ends of the symbolic safety belt. The Georg ia Safety Council staff is headed by Ray Brokaw, Executive Vice-President, with Max Ulrich as Pragram Director. Setting the theme for the Presidents' Council as it enters a year of emphasis on safety, NSC President Howard Pyle was the principal speaker. With Mr. Pyle are: (I to r) Mrs. Elbert Anderson, President of Presidents' Council; Dean Dickens, AT&SC Civic Affairs Director; and Mrs. Lucille S. Huffman, AT&SC Vice-President. National Safety Act Guides Outlined State and local officials have been given guides to aid in complying with the National Traffic Safety Act of 1966. Among suggestions growing from a meeting of the Southern Regional Highway Safety Conference in New Orleans in December were: 1. Each state should establish .an official coordinating body with state, local government and private sector representatives to guide the local state program. 2. State accident records must be improved, working toward an electronic traffic safety data system. 3. Every state must institute motor vehicle inspection programs. 4. Driver license re-examination programs should be established in each state. "Music For Modern Americans," featuring Thurlow Spurr and the Spurrlows, a professional musical revue travelling the country under the sponsorship of Chrysler Corporation, will present a unique Driver Education program for Atlanta area schools on February 23, 24 and 27. The group of 30 young talented performers incorporates a humorous safety song and skit and presents a method for safety-conscious teenage girls to rate their dates as to safe driving attitudes. 5. Each state should begin or expand driver education programs in the schools, and programs of adult driver training should be expanded and placed under proper supervision. 6. Studies should be made of alcohol involvement in traffic accidents, with states considering "implied consent" laws as remedies. 7. States should adopt uniform rules of the road. 8. Separate driver licenses should be established for motorcycles, buses, trucks, etc. The federal act provides matching funds to help states and local governments meet standards of the act, and provides monetary penalties for tl10se not meeting the standards. Indianapolis racing veteran Chuck Stevenson will present a nationally acclaimed Highway Safety Program for Atlanta area high school students in appearances from March 22 to April 19. The program, sponsored by Champion Spark Plug Company, is in its twelfth year and has ben presented to over 10 million teen-agers throghout the United States. Stevenson's basic message is one which draws comparisons between driving on the speedway versus the highway, emphasizing safety. �f or Your Safety The Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council 1130 Commerce Bldg.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Chief: Knowing of your concern about getting the current accident prevention program off on the right foot, I wanted to call your attention to something which ann jeopardize its effect. As you will recall, we recommended increasing enforcement activity in the areas of speeding, drunk driving, running traffic signals and stop signs, because we felt these were the offenses most often involved in accident situations. The Mayor's request for a monthly 10 percent increase was especially aimed at these same offenses. Several police officers have indicated during the last couple of days that they have been instructed to increase their cases by 10 percent, and that they were not aware of the increase being concentrated on any specific areas. My feeling is that unless the officers are specifically instructed on this subject many will tend to increase ee a such as failing to remain in the proper lane aad the like. Iam further concerned that an increase in this type of case, rather than in the more serious accident producing offenses, will hurt rather than help. The purpose of this letter is just to call this to your attention and to again stress the importance of the officers, who must eventually carry the program out, being fully informed of the intent of the recommendations and of the need to concentrate their time and energy on the more serious offenses.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Goodwin also r eported t hat a r etirement plan for Council employees is under study and will be instituted during early 1967 . The Board approved a mileage allowance for staff employees using their own vehicles t o do Council business ,. Such mileage allowance will be 10 cents a mile for all under 100 miles on a single trip and 8 cents a mile fo r all miles over 100. The mileage allowance was deemed necessary because of the increase in use of employee' s vehicles, particularly in connection with the Defensive Driving Program. The Board was told of a planned on-the-job safety program being scheduled for March 16, 1967. Dr. J. L. Rosenstein, Industrial Psychologist from Miami, Florida, will conduct the program on "Psychology of Accident Prevention and Worker Motivation." The one-day workshop will be held at the Holiday Inn on the N. E. freeway. The Board also discussed a proposed billboard program, utilizing a design by an Atlanta area school child. Turner Advertising Company has reserved 100 billboards, the largest number ever used for a public service showing in Atlanta. The boards will be up during the month of March. �Mr. Goodwin announced that the Annual Appraisal of the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council will be conducted by the National Safety Council, January 19 and 20. He stated that he will appoint the Appraisal Committee which will review the National Safety Council findings. The committee will be appointed by telephone. A special showing of a film on "You and Office Safety" was held for the Board. Board members were reminded that the Council maintains a film library available to civic and service organizations as well as to business firms. The new office safety film bas been added to the library and is available for loan. Advance copies of the Council's report to Mayor Allen were distributed and reviewed. The Board concluded that the program as drafted should be presented and the Council should encourage state officials to carry out those points of the program involving them.

Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council 1130 Commerce Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Telephone: 688-3411 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 9, 1967 Fatal traffic accidents in metropolitan Atlanta during January were reduced to half the number of January, 1966. The total number of people killed in traffic in the area was down 30 per cent. Metropolitan area figures compiled by the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council show that 26 fatal accidents occurred in the five-county area during the first month of last year, compared to 13 during January of this year. However, the number of multipledeath accidents this year has been higher than usual, so that 21 died this year in the 13 accidents, compared to 30 last year in 26 accidents. Council President George Goodwin credited a substantial part of the reduction to efforts made by law enforcement officers and officials in the five-county area to strike at the causes of accidents. The governments have been following an accident reduction program outlined by the Council at the end of the record death year, 1966. "Police over the whole area are concentrating their enforcement on violations which have been causing the most serious accidents," Mr . Goodwin said.

Atlanta, Georgia 30308 Dear Mr. Fisher: Mayor Allen referred to me your letter and the article from the American Legion magazine regarding private citizen policing activities. I am sorry I am so long replying, but it came while I was out of the city. The idea of having citizen “observers" has been tried a number of times including here in Atlanta some years back. Although I agree with the advan- tages you point out that the system has, there are a number of disadvantages as well. The most obvious problem is that the citizens have no legal standing and their observations can be used only as advisory information. Each time this is tried a great deal of criticism arises from the public who er interpret this as “vigilante" action. Weighing all of the pros and cons I find that I personally end up coming back to the conclusion that policing should be left to the police and that additional police should be added if we need to increase enforcement, rather than using citizens who are not able to follow through on the violation they observe and whose "semi'official" status could be a source of public irritation.

The annual Sigma Delta Chi Journalism Traffic Safety Award is judged by a Council Committee. Awards were presented to Atlanta area PT A's whi ch conducted the best safety programs during the year , and thi s will be a continuing project. TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS Traffi c construction and engineering improvements were achieved at s everal specific locations as a _result of Council recommendations and follow-up. Council's efforts aided in securing substantial increase in traffi c engineering budget and personnel. Council promotion helped to secure school blinker signal equipment for city school zones . Specific selective enforceme nt proposals were outlined to police and many were adopted. A periodic selective enforcement guide is provided for Police Departm ent. Council participated in implementing a rule against utility companie s and others working in streets during rush hours . Council aided in getting new state highway division of safety engineering, staffed with 10 engineers , establi shed during 1966. Through Council effort s , Fulton County medic al examiner's office began determining blood alcohol content of tr~ffi c victim s where possible, with findings di stributed to the community. Efforts to get driver deucation back in public schools were coordinated by the Council. Managing Director served as chairman of special group to work out traffi c and safety at new Atl anta stadium. PUBLIC EDUCATION A newsl ette r, with 6,000 monthly circul ation , provides safety information to public, media, board members and Coun cil members. Accident _scoreboard sign at firm adj acent to freeway was arranged for and current data is supplied by the Council.

Text Any textual data included in the document August 25, 1967 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of the City of Atlanta | City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mayor Allen: Regarding the letter from Mr. Edmund W. Hughes, Managing Director of the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council, dated August 10, 1967, seeking "to determine whether the City will be willing to pursue this matter and seek to have the State make this federal money available", we have the following report. We strongly recommend that the City of Atlanta do everything within its power (financially and politically) to cooperate with and participate in the newly initiated program of the Bureau of Public Reads, which is called Traffic Operations Program to Increase Capacity and Safety (termed the “TOPICS” program). Immediately after receiving your memorandum on August 22, 1967, we again thoroughly reviewed the statue of this type of program in the Atlanta area with the Bureau of Public Roads people and the State Highway Department people to make certain that we ware up to date regarding their thinking. The Bureau of Public Reads people are very anxious fer a city like Atlanta to set up projects under this program. They are also very anxious for the State of Georgia to participate in the program. All federal funds under this TOPICS program are available only through the Georgia State Highway Department. At this time, the Georgia State Highway Department has a firm policy against spending any of their funds for this purpose in Atlanta er any other cities in the State. We, of course, believe that this policy should, can, and will be changed. As mentioned above, we believe that the City of Atlanta should welcome assistance from the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council and any other citizen group towards the end of having this policy changed. Before any federal-aid system submittal or program to effect traffic operation improvements on Atlanta streete can be approved, it must be supported by a compre- hensive area wide plan for traffic operation improvements, including a program far implementing a significant portion of the plan within five years. The tremen- dous amount of work necessary to make the basic street and traffie inventories and to develop the plan may be financed with money that also could be made avail- able by the State Highway Department. In addition, the actual designe for traffic operation improvements can also be programmed as preliminary engineering jobs, and a portion or all of this work ean be financed with federal aid money which is currently coming to or is available to the Georgia State Highway Department. Since the plan or any submission must be based on an area wide inventory and an analysis of all elements related to the plan for ail streets and highways on a federal aid system in the area, we have been exploring ways and means of producing The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. August 25, 1967 Page Two such an inventory and plan in preparation for setting up specific projects to submit at such time as the State's policy may be changed. Since the State Highway Department has a firm policy against participating in this TOPICS program, we have been unable to obtain much information and only a few opinions from State Highway Department persennel. The Bureau of Public Roads people, however, have been very specific in their insistence that an area wide plan must include as a minimum all of the area within the Cireumferential Freeway (1-285) and probably neede to extend over a larger area. This immediately brings up the difficulties and probably the impracticality of the City of Atlanta under- teking to finance ‘such a study without any outside help. Also, the study tends “to parallel the present continuing coordinated comprehensive traffic planning study, which is under way in compliance with the 1962 Federal Aid Highway Act. However, the area wide plan for traffic operation improvements is a more detailed and specific type of study than the study under way in compliance with the 1962 Federal Aid Highway Act. It is our opinion that it is impractical for any single governmental agency in the Atlanta area (such aw the City of Atlanta) to undertake by itself the development of an area wide plan for traffic operation improvements. We have a very atrong feeling that this project should be undertaken and financed by the State Highway Department with the federal aid money available to them for purposes of this sort. Once this plan was developed and approved by the Bureau of Public Roads, specific traffic operation improvement projects (such as the ones that we currently carry on in our daily program in the City of Atlanta) could be set up and submitted fer federal aid money. This money, of course, coming to the State Highway Department and then on to the City of Atlanta. We have made a rough estimate that the area wide plan for traffic operation improvements could be completed by a consulting firm in a period of appreximately six months. We have not yet obtained an estimate of the cost from any censulting firm, but we are guessing that the cost might range from $50,000.00 upwarde to $200 ,000.00. Anticipating your concurrence with our recommendation that the City of Atlanta do everything within its power financtally and politically or influence-wise to cooperate with and participate in this TOPICS program, we are atranging to discuss in general terms the cost of such an area wide traffic operation improvement plan with some consulting firme. These explorations will be done without in any way committing the City ef Atlanta and simply for the purpose of determining a little more accurately exactly what kind of an expenditure might be necessary om the part A of the Georgia State lighway Department in order te get this program under way , in the City of Atlanta. It would, of course, be unwise for the City of Atlanta or anyone other than the Georgia State Highway Department to undertake to finance 4 such a study since the study would only be useful if the Georgia State Highway Department _ was agreeable to participating in the program. If the Georgia State Highway Department ie interested in participating in the program, the cost of the study would be a ’ comparatively minor item in the total outlay and, therefore, it should not be difficult . te get the Highway Department to take care of this particular cost. : The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. August 25, 1967 Page Three We hope that this report is clear and that it contains sufficient information to answer the questions that need answering at the present time.

Mayor City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Ivan: A limited amount of funds will be available shortly through the new NationaLHighway Safety Bureau. Of the $1,067,158 apportioned for Georgia , forty pe rcent will b e available to local governments. Those who apply first will be given first consideration. Th e application or applications are to be sent through the State Highway Safety Co ordinator and must be endorsed by the head of the local government concerned. It would seem that with the limited number of dollars available and the "first come, first serve" consideration, it would be advisable for the several Atlanta departments which might qualify for these funds to meet promptly and agree on one to two proj ects to be submitted. Application forms are expected to be ready in approximat e ly two weeks and applications will be accepted approximately Sept ember 1. I would guess that Atlanta would be fortunate if it received as much as $100,000 from this source. This money is on a "fifty-fifty matching" basis but a number of items the City is now carrying out can be used to make up Atlanta's share. Consequently, the fede ral funds will be extra money for which the City will not have to appropriate matching funds beyond that money already being sp ent. Some ite ms which could qualify for th e se funds include expanding traffic court facili ties; identifying and improving high accident locations; improving traffic r e cords and accident records systems; studies pertaining to road design, construction and maintenance; studies concerning traffic control devic e s; and nearly any phas e of ex p a nding driver education.
