Dear Piet ’

Of the 20 participants who attended the 2nd M.I.T.
‘Program for Urban Executives we received 19 resporses.
These have been consolidated and I enclose a copy. I
“thought you would like to have a picture of the group's

reaction,

.

I'm happy to say that we will be going ahead ona
regular basis with this pregram, There will be a program
offered this coming January and another one next June.

_I hope that this gives you sufficient time for you

and your cojleastes to plan a noriination for January or
—qine - or both. “T°Say vOrh Heécanse we are convinced i

that the maximum impact from this kind of education will

come from having a group of people working together who

have attended the program. Tney will tend to support

and reinforce one another - to share a conmon language

and even a sort of shorthand, We strongly believe that

having 5 people in the same working group, who have been:

to M.1.7., is considerably greater in effectiveness - than

5 times 1.

é

We will keep the total fee below the $1,000 level

and 1 do want to go ahead and invite some executives from

industry who work with cities - and whose tigher tuition

would contribute towards covering the cost of the progran,
i

| If you have any suggestions about any particular person
whom you think should be invited to attend, I would be
pleased to follow-up on it. J plan to contact companies
like Avco, GE, Westinghouse, etc.

' J'm sorry to have to inform you that Polly Karb has
gone into the hospital for an operation. We are all

‘hoping that she will come through it all quickly and

easily.

Our warmest and fondest wishes.

-Sincerely,
