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

(2) make a strong plea for job opportunities for all Americans through a combination of private and public pr ograms. We though·c you would be interested in comparing the President's statement with the goal contained in the Urban Coalition's Statement of Principles adopted at the Emergency Convocation: Coalition Goal The President There are some half million unemployed, hard-core unemployed, in our principal cities. We just have to go and find jobs for them . I am going to cal l in the businessmen of America and say one of t wo things have t o h appen: You have to help me go out and find jobs for these people, or we are going to have to find jobs in the Government f or them and offer every one of them a job. I think that is one thing that cou ld be done . I think that will have to be done, as expensiv e as it is . Government and business must accept responsibility -to provide all Americans with opport unity to earn an adequate income. Private industry must greatly accelerate its efforts to recruit, train, and hire the hard-core unemployed . When the pr ivate sector is unable to provide employment to those who are b oth able and willing to work, then in a free society the government must of n e c e ssity assume the responsibility and act as the employer of last resort or must assure adequate i ncome for those who are unable to work. The pre ss interpr eted the President's sta tement as an important new p o licy p o s ition on the gover nment's r esponsibilit y . At a press conference the f ollowing day, Rep . Carl D. Perkins (Ky. ), chairman of the House Educ ation a n d Labor Committee said he would s uppor t whatever bill i n the field o f employment the Pres i d ent sen d s to Congr e s s next year. Providing jobs for tho s e wh o c a n't find private employment, he said, "is the proper r ole f or g ov ernment". EDUCATI ONAL DIS PARI TIES Despite bad weather that clo sed the Detroit airport for s e vera l hours on December 18, seven members o f the Educational Disparities Ta s k Force were able to get tog ether for a schedu led meeting.

LOCAL COALITIONS Encouragement and assistance in the formation of local urban coalitions continues to receive high priority. During December Washington �(3) D. C., Boston, Baltimore, Plainfield , N.

Washington said in a public announcement that citizens have called for the o r ganization of a local coalition "in terms of urgency" generated by the August Emergency Convocation.

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

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

NOTE: This is an interim report on follow-up to the June 10 Policy Council meeting. MEMORANDUM ' THE URBAN COALITION ACTION COUNCIL June 14, 1968 TO: FROM: Members of-the Policy - Council John W. Gardner SUBJECT: Meeting with House _of Representatives Leadership, June 11, 1968 Andrew Heiskell, Arthur Fle mming, Clare nce Mitchell and I visited leading House members on June 11. We had conversations with Speaker McCormack, Majority Leader Carl Albert, Whip Hale Boggs, Appropriations Chairman George Mahon, Minority Leade r Ge r a ld Ford, and Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills. Although we talked about all of the various objectives of the Coalition, we gave special emphasis to the desirability of sparing the crucial urban programs in the $6 billion budget cut. We also stre ss e d the severe and v e ry imme diate nee d for the 75 million dollars for the OEO summe r job programs and the 25 million dolla rs fo r He a d s t art. We receive d the following reactions from the various me mbers of Congress: The Speak e r, Mr. Albe rt, Mr. Boggs . They did not wi s h t"o ma k e any cuts in the u r b a n p r o grams a n d hoped the Ur b a n Coalition would help the m p reve n t such cuts. They offere d hope that, if the Re publican l eadership would go along, the 75 million doll a rs for jobs could b e r es tore d in the r e gular supp l eme n t a l budge t. The Se n a t e would h ave t o a d d it. Th e y f e l t t h i s c ould b e done e v e n though the Pres ide nt h as not reques t e d it . The y told u s tha t Congr ess will c u t approx imately thr e e billion d o lla rs , l e aving the r es t t o t h e Pres ide nt, a nd fe lt tha t the Pres ide nt would h ave wide discreti on to p r ovide f u nding f o r u rban pro grams. · �- 2 - George Mahon. His attitude wa~ quite negative. He said that the Kerner report had cqntributed substantially to the unrest, and furthermore, the country could not buy its way out of -riots. He felt that whatever was done on the Hill would make no difference. When we stressed the need for 75 million dollars for the OEO summer job program·, he responded tb.at he had been told by the Bureau of the Budget that there would be 40% p e rcent more jobs this year than last and that although this was not the best situation, it was "pretty good". He did not explain how the Budget Bureau arrived at its estimate. Gerald Ford. Mr. Ford said Congress would cut around three billion dollars and the r e st would be lef t to the President. He was somewhat optimistic about the 75 million dollars for OEO summer jobs and stated that possibly this could be accomplished. He stressed that it could be accomplished far more easily, howe ve r, if the President were to ask for it. He indica t e d that if it were to come back from the Se nate it was poss ible tha t it could b e sustaine d in confere nce . Wilbur D. Mills.

MEMORANDUM THE URBAN COALITION ACTION COUNCIL June 14, 1968 TO: Members of-the Policy-Council FROM: John W. Gardner SUBJECT: Meeting with House of Representatives Leadership, June 11, 1968 Andrew Heiskell, Arthur Flemming, Clarence Mitchell and I visited leading House members on June 11. We had conversations with Speaker McCormack, Majority Leader Carl Albert, Whip Hale Boggs, Appropriations Chairman George Mahon, Minority Leader Gerald Ford, and Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills. Although we talked about all of the various objectives of the Coalition, we gave special emphasis to the desirability of sparing the crucial urban programs in the $6 billion budget cut. We also stressed the severe and very immediate need for the 75 million dollars for the OEO summer job programs and the 25 million dollars for Headstart. We received the following reactions from the various members of Congress: The Speaker, Mr. Albert, Mr. Boggs. They did not wish to make any cuts in the urban programs and hoped the Urban Coalition would help them prévent such cuts. They offered hope that, if the Republican leadership would go along, the 75 million dollars for jobs could be restored in the regular supplemental budget. The Senate would have to add it. They felt this could be done even though the President has not requested it. They told us that Congress will cut approximately three billion dollars, leaving the rest to the President, and felt that the President would have wide discretion to provide funding for urban programs. George Mahon. His attitude was quite negative. He said that the Kerner report had cgntributed substantially to the unrest, and furthermore, the country could not buy its way out of riots. He felt that whatever was done on the Hill would make no difference. When we stressed the need for 75 million dollars for the OEO summer job program, he responded that he had been told by the Bureau of the Budget that there would be 40% percent ‘ more jobs this year than last and that although this was not the best situation, it was "pretty good". He did not explain how the Budget Bureau arrived at its estimate. Gerald Ford. Mr. Ford said Congress would cut around three billion dollars and the rest would be left to the President. He was somewhat optimistic about the 75 million dollars for OEO summer jobs and stated that possibly this could be accomplished. He stressed that it could be accomplished far more easily, however, if the President were to ask for it. He indicated that if it were to come back from the Senate it was possible that it could be sustained in conference. Wilbur D. Mills. We had a long session with Mr. Mills who stated unequivocally that the $6 billion could be cut without touching any of the crucial programs for the cities and the poor. He told us that Congress would cut around three billion dollars and stated further that cuts would be made in research and development and foreign aid. He indicated that he favored the OEO program, and at the same time said that it was in some trouble. The request is 2.18 billion dollars and he stated that Congress probably would appropriate two billion. He said further that all new "starts" in public works would be stopped. The highway program would continue; how- ever, no new dams and other such public works projects would be built. He said that the Bureau of the Budget and the President agree with this. In addition, he said that he believed the President was fully aware of the need to provide full funding for programs that affect urban areas.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

C. / 20006 Nationa/ Coordinators: John Feild / Ron M. Linton January 2, 1968 The Urban Coalition ends 1967 -- and the first four months of its existence -- with a feeling of solid accomplishment and a high degree of optimism for the future. The Washington office has been established and staffed ... Task Forces, manned by many of the country's most talented and concerned people, are already producing effectively ... Local coalitions have been formed, or are being organized, in many critical areas ... press and public support of the concept of the Coalition and its goals are strong. For many people the Coalition has become a symbol of hope; others remain skeptical. Everyone is waiting to see if the powerful forces repre- sented in the Coalition can indeed "turn the country around” and solve the crisis in the cities. We think they can, and will. We can report that in the dead of winter the individuals who came together in a common commitment in the heat of August have lost none of their concern, determination and sense of urgency. The hard work of program building goes on. The country watches -- and waits. PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP More than 200 participants met in Atlanta on December 13 for a very successful one-day session on private employment. Businessmen from eastern and southern states had been invited to exchange information and practical program ideas. They heard Gerald L. Phillippe, chair- man of the board of the General Electric Company and co-chairman of the Task Force deliver a forceful address on the responsibility of private business in providing jobs and training for the so-called “unemployables". Other general session speakers included Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. of Atlanta, William Flynn, director of the STEP Pro- gram for the National Association of Manufacturers, Dr. Lawrence D. Reddick, executive director of the Opportunities Industrialization Center Institute of Philadelphia, and Augustus H. Sterne, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. A similar regional meeting will be held in Phoenix, Arizona on January 17. The meeting date for the regional meeting in Kansas City, Missouri has been changed from January 24 to February 21.

In many of these potentially expanded departments and functions, there is always the strong probability that new profes- sional personnel may not be available in the numbers desired. Partly as a means of solving this type of personnel shortage, some agencies around the country have recently begun to recruit and train ( Aden and women without the regularly required advanced preparation to perform those aspects of "professional" jobs which actually could be performed by such men and women. In other departinents and functions needing more personnel, the only major ieecs. tO not hiring them is simply the problem of inadequate funds, ae and women could be employed in a variety of jobs that are not rigidly professional in nature (for example, playground aides, urban beauti- fication personnel, certain kinds of hospital employees, a In colunn 3, would you indicate what percent of the numbers Cre! « cited in column 2 might consist of these two typesyvof new employers?

Philip Randolph January 10, 1968 Dear Mayor: The response of the nation's cities to The Urban Coalition's August call for mobilization of community urban coalitions has been considerable. The number of communities where coalitions have been mobilized is substantial. A significant number of additional communities are known to be moving quickly through the initial organization phase. The Urban Coalition looks forward to convening in the first quarter of 1968 a national meeting of representatives from organized urban coalitions to form a Council of Urban Coalitions . The Council would not only play a role in the affairs of the national Coalition but constitute a vehicle for serving the mutual interests of member urban coalitions in information dissemination and program development. In this connection, we would appreciate from you at the earliest opportunity a status report on coalition mobilization in your community. In a ddition, it would assist us greatly if you would advise the National Coordinators of the name and address of the most appropriate person in your city with whom they can confer subsequently on coalition matters.
