Dear Mr. Horgan:
Dan Sweat of the Atlanta City Hall has just forwarded to me your letter
of notification relative to $3,500 additional support for the Atlanta.
Summer Youth Program. I am responding to this matter sinc e Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Incorporated, the local CAP Agency, has agreed to handle
the disbursement of these monies.
This lett er represents official notification that the required
matching local non-federa l share in the amount of $1,667 is available to
match the additional $3,500 o f federal money . This non-federal share wa s
available from local city appropriated funds for summer transporta tion and
is money which has not been previously programmed as matching funds against
other federal grarits.
We v ery much appreciat e this additional h e l~ and on beh a lf o f the
City Government, I would like to thank you for your effort on this mat t er .
I f additiona l federal money for this purpose s hould be come avai l a ble in the
near future, we will most likely be in a position to utili ze it well and
would appreciate consideration in its disburs ement ,
Sincerel~

Dear Mr. Horgan:

Dan Sweat of the Atlanta City Hall has just forwarded to me your letter
of notification relative to $3,500 additional support for the Atlanta
Summer Youth Program. I am responding to this matter since Economic Op-
portunity Atlanta, Incorporated, the local CAP Agency, has agreed to handle

This letter represents official notification that the required

available from local city appropriated funds for summer transportation and
is money which has not been previously programmed as matching funds against
other federal grants.

We very much appreciate this additional help, and on behalf of the
City Government, I would like to thank you for your effort on this matter.
If additional federal money for this purpose should become available in the
near future, we will most likely be in a position to utilize it well and
would appreciate consideration in its disbursement.

Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Tate:

Iam returning your CAP Form 46 which was sent to the Mayor for his
signature. Because of the 1952 Plan of Imppovement which delegates
responsibility for all health matters in Fulton County, including the

City of Atlanta, to the Fulton County Government, it is our feeling that

this form should be signed by the Chairman of the Fulton County Commission
since the Mayor has no legal authority to sign this form.

I understand that the form is to indicate that the city is familiar with the
Comprehensive Health Program and has no objection to it. Please be
assured that the City is acquainted with the Comprehensive Health Program

and has given its support to the program within the bounds of its legal
authority. .

I hope this will meet your requirements for submission of this application.

Sincerely,

Dan E. Sweat, Jr.
Chief Administrative Officer

Dear Mr. Tata:

Thank you for the letter and resume and your interest in possible
employment in the City of Atlanta.

I know of no specific positions within City Government which
might interest you or fit your special qualifications.

However, I have forwarded your letter and resume to Mr. Clint
Rodgers, Deputy Administrator, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.,
the City's community action agency, for consideration. Mr. Rodgers
is familiar with many of the programs which might offer an

opportunity for you to use both your past experience in OEO
programs and your strong capability in the Spanish language.

Sincerely yours,

Atlanta, Georgia d
Dear Mayor Allen:

We are now proceeding with reorg ation of the E,O,A, Board of
Directors in accordance with the attached memorandum which was cleared
with the Fulton County Commissioners and Mayor of Atlanta about a year
ago,

Originally, the Fulton County Commissioners appointed seven board
members, the Mayor of Atlanta appointed seven, and the County Commis-
sioners and Mayor together appointed jointly a fifteenth member to serve
as Chairman, Later, under requirements of OEO, twelve elected repre-
sentatives of the poor were added to the Board from respective neighborhood
service center areas in Atlanta and Fulton County, Also later, Commissioners
of Gwinnett and Rockdale Counties each appointed two members and a third
from each county was elected by the poor.

Under the required reorganization, Fulton County and Atlanta will
each appoint four members, Of the seven members who have served as
appointees of Fulton County, Mrs, Lucy Aiken, Mr. Harold Benson,

Mr. Jessie Hill, and Mr. John Greer will continue to serve unless Fulton
County wishes to replace them now, As to the other three, Mr. Carl
Plunkett and Dr, Paul West wish to retire from the Board now and Mr,
Jessie Grantham will be replaced by a direct nomination from the Atlanta,
Georgia Labor Council AFL-CIO,

The Chairman is now elected by the Board, which position I hold,
Since 1 was an appointee jointly of the City and County and since there is
no longer provision for a joint appointment, the Mayor has asked that I
continue on the Board as one of the four appointees of the City along with
Rev, Joseph L, Griggs, Mr, A.H, Sterne, and Rev, M,L. King.
As to the other four City appointees, Mr. William L. Calloway will
probably be continued on as a nominee of the Community Council of the
Atlanta Area, Inc., Dr. John Letson will retire from the Board in recog-
nition of a nominee selected by the Board of Education, Mr. W.H. Montague
is deceased, and Mrs. Ann Woodward will probably be nominated by the
Board of Education as its representative.

We believe that this plan continues on the Board the Fulton County
and City of Atlanta appointees who are willing to continue, which will
provide necessary stability,

May I say that it has been a very great pleasure to work with all
of your appointees, who have contributed very generously of their time
and talents to our local anti-poverty efforts. The support of the Fulton
County Commissioners and the Mayor and Aldermen of Atlanta and the
wisdom of your choices for members of the Board have had considerable
impact on development of the local program into what has been recognized
nationally as one of the best. We hope to merit your continued interest
and help.

PRESIDENT July 3,11969

Mr. Walter M. Mitchell

Chairman

Fulton County Commissioners of Roads and Revenues
165 Central Avenue S.W.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Mitchell:

We are now proceeding with reorganization of the E.O.A. Board of
Directors in accordance with the attached memorandum which was cleared
with the Fulton County Commissioners and Mayor of Atlanta about a year ago.

Originally, the Fulton County Commissioners appointed seven board
members, the Mayor of Atlanta appointed seven, and the County Commissioners
and Mayor together appointed jointly a fifteenth member to serve as Chairman.
Later, under requirements of OEO, twelve elected representatives of the poor
were added to the Board from respective neighborhood service center areas in
Atlanta and Fulton County. Also later, Commissioners of Gwinnett and Rock-
dale Counties each appointed two members and a third from each county was
elected by the poor.

Under the required reorganization, Fulton County and Atlanta will
each appoint four members. Of the seven members who have served as
appointees of Fulton County, Mrs. Lucy Aiken, Mr. Harold Benson, Mr. Jessie
Hill, and Mr. John Greer will continue to serve unless Fulton County wishes
to replace them now, As to the other three, Mr, Carl Plunkett and Dr. Paul
West wish to retire from the Board now and Mr. Jessie Grantham will be re-
placed by a direct nomination from the Atlanta, Georgia Labor Council AFL-CIO,

The Chairman is now elected by the Board, which position I hold. Since
I was an appointee jointly of the City and County and since there is no longer
provision for a joint appointment, the Mayor has asked that I continue on the
Board as one of the four appointees of the City along with Rev. Joseph L. Griggs,
Mr. A.H. Sterne, and Rev. M,L. King.

As to the other four City appointees, Mr. William L. Calloway will prob-
ably be continued on as a nominee of the Community Council of the Atlanta Area,
Inc., Dr. John Letgon will reti#é from the Board in recognition of a nominee
selected by the Board of Education, Mr. W.H. Montague is deceased, and Mrs.
Ann Woodward will probably be nominated by the Board of Education as its
representative.
We believe that this plan continues on the Board the Fulton County
and City of Atlanta appointees who are willing to continue, which will pro-.
vide necessary stability.

May I say that it has been a very great pleasure to work with all of your
appointees, who have contributed very generously of their time and talents
to our local anti-poverty efforts. The support of the Fulton County Commis-
sioners and the the Mayor and Aldermen of Atlanta and the wisdom of your
choices for members of the Board have had considerable impact on develop-
ment of the local program into what has been recognized nationally as one
of the best. We hope to merit your continued interest and help.

Sincerely yours,

These ~hirty program titles do not nea rly exhaus t the possibilities or
give the kaleidoscopic effect. To exp a nd t h e list, one cou;bd name all
�-2-
fourteen neighborhood service centers and several extension offices,
or list ten separate full year head start Centers, nine family'
planning clinics, five legal aid offices, and the seventeen
delegate
agencies carrying out summer recreat~on activities. One might name
the 200 block clubs and list the CNAC and CCAC committees which make
up the heart of the community organization program. The VISTA and
volunteer projects could be listed individually. There would be
still further ways to break it down, but suffice it to say, we have
a lot going.
Furthermore, these program titles do not reflect Headquarters support
activities like finance which h a ndles payrolls, accounting, purchasing 0
inventory, retirement, workman's compensation, the credit union, group
health insurance; or planning which handles proposal development, contracts and data retrieval; or personnel with its task of recruiting,
processing, keeping time and attendance, handling grievances, etc; or
public information which answers countless questions, guides tours,
sends out literature, writ1es stories and seeks attention for us.
After this recitation, there's one thing that should be said:
to Mr. Allison --- he will need it.
Be kind
PROGRESS
In the past year, progress has been made in many ways:
(1)
The planning operation has been substantially improved and
systematized under the leadership of Mr. Allison.
(2)
The MIS (Management Information System) report required
by OEO has been facilitated by the diligent work of
Mrs. Maynard Jackson and her assistant Mrs. Ann Sieffer t.
A regional OEO off icial recently called this achievement outs tandin g .
(3)
The Finance Department is in the best condition ever;
accor ding to our external auditors , Wolf and company.
(4)
Neighbo rhoo d Service Operat ions, u n der the ab le
gu idance of Sue Crank, h ave b ecome more clearly
defined, and the Center Directors have establ ished
some exacting per f ormance s t andar ds of t he i r own.
The _accomplishme n ts of o u r i ndividual Centers h ave
been recited here each month, and their importance to
the total program cannot be over-emphasized.
�-3-
(5)
Edith Hambrick has led a special effort to improve
social service activities in the NSC's . Four master
social workers now provide guidance and supervision
to social service counselors in all the Centers, making
our service more consistently adequate and improving
the efficiency of our record keeping.
(6)
The Community Organization Program, led by John Calhoun ,
established specific goals in a wide variety of areas,
including edu cation , housing, welfare , employment,
health, recreation, etc., and citizen committees hav e
worked diligently and persistently at them. The results
have shown increasingly productive dialogues between

Manpower Programs, spurred by Clint Rodgers, have all

a much clearer understanding of its potentials as well
as its limitations. All the cooperating agencies, EOA,
the Georgia State Employment Service, the Vocational
Education Division of the City Schools, and Vocational
Rehab , have grown in their understanding of the needs
of the hard core unemployed.
The NYC Program under Charles Pierce has been complimented by the Regional Labor Office for its improved

our Full-Year Head Start Program can be vastly improved in coming months by the conversion of summer
Head Start funds.
PROBLEMS
In view of its assigned mission, EOA has several fundamental p roblems:
(1)
The basic community action program is under-funded
and stretched · too thin . Neighborhood target areas
are far too large for the r esources deployed . NSC's
have too little staff to perform adequately their
out-reach and community organization functions.
(2)
There is a need to further strengthen our plannin g
and evaluation capacities . Close attention needs
to be g iven to activities to determine what works
well and why --- what doesn't work and why. Productive activities should be encourag ed and
disseminated; promising ideas should be exploited.
Regular operations staff, burdened with daily
duties, seldom have energy left for this&amp;
�--5-
(3)
A formal staff development program is needed. EOA
has, as part of its agenda, the employment within
its own program of persons who are not fully p _r;-epared
for the responsibilities given them. This affords
opportunities to many who have aptitude but little
formal training and experience. Many persons have
blossomed with this opportunity, but some have been
overwhelmed and frustrated. More consistent performance would be secured if each staff member could
be regularly exposed to a program designed to increase
his understanding of the problems the agency is working
on and the techniques it attempts to use.
{4}
Erratic, year to year funding greatly handicaps planning ,
program development , and staff recruitment .
It is hard
to persuade competent, widely sought personnel to come
to a program the future of which seems constantly in
jeopardy. It is hard to plan and build improved services
with the constant threat of budget retrenchment. Congress
should be encouraged to clearly define the program and
to give it authorization and appropriations adequate
and dependable enough to do the job.
(5)
Finally, the biggest problem for EOA, in my opinion.,
remains the inherent complexity of the task. You are
expected to solve the pnoblem of unemployment among
the poor, but you do not control the jobs, the placement services or the training programs. You are
expected to perfect the delivery of human services,
but other a gencies contr ol welfare; _. health, education
and recreation resources . You are expected to mobilize
the poor in their own behalf but to do it without
disturbing anyone o

PROGRAMS

Because people are poor due to many different reasons and circumstances,
EOA has many different approaches. The money received supports all,
a big part, or a tiny part of many activities ---

«ee Concentrated Employment Program
-.. New Careers

ee. Legal Aid

eee Programs for the Aged

eee Foster Grandparents

eee Comprehensive Health

eee Planned Parenthood

eee Aide Training

These thirty program titles do not nearly exhaust the possibilities or
give the kaleidoscopic effect. To expand the list, one could name all
fourteen neighborhood service centers and several extension offices,
or list ten separate full year head start Centers, nine family
planning clinics, five legal aid offices, and the seventeen delegate
agencies carrying out summer recreation activities. One might name
the 200 block clubs and list the CNAC and CCAC committees which make
up the heart of the community organization program. The VISTA and
volunteer projects could be listed individually. There would be
still further ways to break it down, but suffice it to say, we have
a lot going.

Furthermore, these program titles do not reflect Headquarters support
activities like finance which handles payrolls, accounting, purchasing,
inventory, retirement, workman's compensation, the credit union, group
health insurance; or planning which handles proposal development, con-
tracts and data retrieval; or personnel with its task of recruiting,
processing, keeping time and attendance, handling grievances, etc; or
public information which answers countless questions, guides tours,
sends out literature, writes stories and seeks attention for us.

After this recitation, there's one thing that should be said: Be kind
to Mr. Allison --- he will need it.

PROGRESS
In the past year, progress has been made in many ways:

(1) The planning operation has been substantially improved and
systematized under the leadership of Mr. Allison.

(2) The MIS (Management Information System) report required
by OEO has been facilitated by the diligent work of
Mrs. Maynard Jackson and her assistant Mrs. Ann Sieffert.
A regional OEO official recently called this achieve-

ment outstanding.

(3) The Finance Department is in the best condition ever;
according to our external auditors, Wolf and Company.

(4) Neighborhood Service Operations, under the able
guidance of Sue Crank, have become more clearly
defined, and the Center Directors have established
some exacting performance standards of their own,

The accomplishments of our individual Centers have
been recited here each month, and their importance to
the total program cannot be over-emphasized.

Edith Hambrick has led a special effort to improve
social service activities in the NSC's. Four master
social workers now provide guidance and supervision

to social service counselors in all the Centers, making
our service more consistently adequate and improving
the efficiency of our record keeping.

The Community Organization Program, led by John Calhoun,
established specific goals in a wide variety of areas,
including education, housing, welfare, employment,
health, recreation, etc., and citizen committees have
worked diligently and persistently at them. The results
have shown increasingly productive dialogues between
representatives of the poor and community institutions.

Manpower Programs, spurred by Clint Rodgers, have all
registered gains. ACEP has been restructured with

a much clearer understanding of its potentials as well
as its limitations. All the cooperating agencies, EOA,
the Georgia State Employment Service, the Vocational
Education Division of the City Schools, and Vocational
Rehab, have grown in their understanding of the needs
of the hard core unemployed.

The NYC Program under Charles Pierce has been compli-
mented by the Regional Labor Office for its improved
operation.

Public Information, with Mrs. Mitchell assisted by
Pat Mason, continues to do outstanding work. They
scored notable achievements initiating the Start Now
Atlanta Program and the VIP's.

The Volunteer Program, under June Sammons' energetic
and resourceful leadership, has blossomed to 602
active workers and seems limitless in its potential.

At long last, we have our Aide Training Program under
way. Mrs. Anne Jackson is in charge and the goal is
to give increased skills to all our aides and equip
them for better jobs.

VISTA has had one of its brightest, most able groups
of volunteers. They have worked on a variety of
community problems, and through a joint effort in-

Recreation, with Harold Barrett and Duke Harrison

community centers have been assisted into being, and
football, basketball, and baseball teams have been

expected to perfect the delivery of human services,
but other agencies control welfare, -health, education
and recreation resources. You are expected to mobilize
the poor in their own behalf but to do it without
disturbing anyone.

In such an assignment, the array of forces, attitudes

and circumstances which must be dealt with are infinitely
complex and interwoven with the total fabric of society.
To carry it off with any degree of success requires

great sensitivity, tact, intelligence, determination,

and courage. If success has been less than complete, as
it obviously has, it should not, in any sense, be looked
opon as failure. To have attacked these tough problems
at all is a tribute to the program's audacity and to its
willingness to risk itself on behalf of the poor. We need
to remember that those of us who undertake to "wash society's
dirtiest linen" seldom have happy customers.

Mr. William U. Norwood, Jr.
Regional Manpower Administrator
U. S. Department of Labor

1371 Peachtree Street, N. E.
Atlanta, Georgia 30309

Dear Mr. Norwood:

Grave concern was expressed at the June EOA Board meeting
about the up-coming requirement for ten percent non-federal
matching funds in our next ACEP program year beginning
September 1, 1969. Atlanta, like all large cities today,
has very limited financial resources compared to its de=-
mands, and it is extremely difficult for community agencies
like BOA to secure additional local cash.

As you will recall, the original ACEP proposal allowed EOA
to claim as local “in-kind" the supporting resources of its
community action program and other federally assisted
agencies providing opportunities for New Careers and NYC
trainees, With this now disallowed, and assuming current
funding levels, EOA faces a need to generate approximately
$200,000 in non-federal share. At present only about
$88,000 of “in-kind” seems clearly available, leaving a
potential non-federal deficit of more than $100,000.

Atlanta, being the regional city that it is, finds that the
best New Careers training slots, with promising salaries
and upward mobility potential, are with federal or federally

supported agencies. Likewise, the youth component (Operation

Ready), by virtue of being tied in with Project Value, spon-

sored by the Department of Defense, is in the same situation.

While this is a happy circumstance for the individual en~
rollee, it poses a dilemma for those who must find 10% local
resources to match these costs.
Page 2
Mr. William Norwood July 1, 1969

Because of the above factors, the EOA Board would like to
request that the U. S. Department of Labor grant a waiver
on our New Careers and Operation Ready components allow-
ing us to claim as local in-kind the participation of
federally supported agencies. We understand that such
action is possible and that there are similar precedents.

Your favorable consideration of this request will be
greatly appreciated.

Mr. Randall N. Conway
Staff Division

Memphis Manpower Commission
P. 0. Box 224

Memphis, Tennessee 38103

Dear Mr. Conway:

I have received a copy of your letter of May 21 to the Atlanta
city government relative to the establishment of a manpower policy as
well as Mr. Sweat's reply to you. As Mr. Sweat has pointed out, the
City of Atlanta, at this point, has no overall official manpower policy.
However, I would like to offer the following thoughts from where I
see this heading.

I believe that most people involved in manpower planning that
relates to city government have come to the conclusion that, in a large
urban area, manpower planning and policy can not be isolated from the
plans to fight urban problems in general. Manpower policies, especially
as they relate to inner-city poverty areas, are irrevocably tied to
problems in housing, education, transportation, etc. It is my personal
belief that an overall stragedy can be and will be developed through the
Urban Observatory which is being established through Georgia State
College in Atlanta. The Observatory as envisioned here will provide the
necessary linkage of the vari academic disciplines as well as with
the administrators who face practical problems of implementation
on both a short and long range basis. I believe that this effort linked

with a strong vigorous imput into the CAMPS system can begin to make

some kind of sense out of the present multiplicity of efforts in manpower
and other related problem areas.

I hope that these thoughts will be useful to you in looking at the
establishment of such a policy in Memphis. If I can be of any further
assistance on this matter, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Sincerely,

Clint Rodgers, Associate
Administrator for Manpower
