�A STATEMENT ABOUT THE PARENT AND CHILD CENTER
PARENT AND CHILD CENTERS (FCC) are establishe d to pro v ide services for
disadv antaged families who hav e one or mor e children under the a ge of thr~e.
Many of the families will also have seve ral older children, or will be planning or e x pecting to have a bab y .
In many cases, a FCC will be linked with a comprehensive Neighborhood
Service Center, an organization which offers the residents of a spe t i i ied
geographic area access to a wide range of services and processes de s igned
. to help them out of povert y . In others, a FCC may cooperate with a center
which may be or ganized around one certain function, s uch as a Neighborhood
Health Center. Such centers ne ed not necessaril y be f und e d by OEO . Affiliation with a Neighborhood Center facilitates one of the basic objectives of
the FCC, that of bringing the whole famil y into contact with a broad range
of services.
The PCCs are funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity in cooperation
with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare , the Department of Labor,
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Objectives
In general, the PCCs are established to help families to function independentl y and e ffectively and f or their children to develop to their full
potential. In more specific terms, the programs developed by the plannin~
groups should have the objectives of:
1.
Overcoming deficits in health, intellectual, social, and
emotional development and max imizing the child's inherent
talents and potentialities;
2.
Improving the skills, confidenc e , attitudes, and motiv&tions
of the pare nts as citi ze ns, parent s , and indiv iduals;
3.
Str e ng thenin g famil y org ani zation and functioning by involving
the youngest childre n, the pare nts, older childr e n in the
famil y, and r e lativ es ;
4.
Encouraging a gr e ater sense of c ormnunit y and neighborliness
amon g the families s e r ve d by th e center ;
5.
Prov iding training and e x perie nc e f o r both pro fe s s ional s and
non - profe s sional s who may the n be employ e d in wo r k with par ents
and ch ildren;

MULTI- PURPOSE TRAINING CENTER
Mayor Ivan Al len
Cit y Hall
Atlant a, Georgia
Dear Mayor Al len:
During the past six weeks, members of Atlanta University OEO
Multi-Purpose Training Center have received training at the Frank
Riessrnan New Careers Laboratory of New York University. We are
excited over the possibility of the new careers strategy for moving
poor people out of poverty.
Basically, the new careers idea provides an alternative avenue
to the present credentials system based on high s chool diploma and
other degrees for the achievement of professional and sld..lled positions.
The approach requires that individuals be employed in a position with
the existence of a career ladder, training and education, both in
educational institutions and on the job. For individuals who have
dropped out of the school system and who are hostile toward returning
to it, this program seems to be a major opportunity.
While the ne1-i careers approach is being tested in several major
cities throughout the country, we feel that it is advisable to make
key individuals in the Southeastern Region familiar with the approach.
Accordingly, the Atlanta University OEO Multi-Purpose Training Center
is interested in the possibility of a joint community action agencies
and industry conference on the new careers strategy. Dr. Riessrnan
has assured us of support and participation from his staff.
This letter invites you or a designated person to serve on the
planning committee for the regional conference.
The planning committee will be concerned with the following items:
1. The desirability and feasibility of such a conference;
2. The conference participants;
3. Time and place;
4. Program content; and
5. Conference follow-up procedures.
�February 3, 1968
Page 2
The new careers approach seems to be an excellent strategy for
cooperating with President Johnson 1 s request of industry to employ
hard core poor people, and for helping comrnuriity action agencies,
welfare departments, boards of education, health departments , and
other large public and private agencies, to provide career ladders
vis-a-vis deadend jobs for the poor.
Yow.~ early response to t his invitation will be appreciated
greatly~
Sincerely yours,

Dear Dan:
Thanks for your letter of February 6th reconnnending Mr. Johnny
Robinson to serve on our planning connnittee for the New Careers
conference. I shall contact Mr. Robinson today.
In regard to the involvement of the Urban Coalition, we are considering the idea of inviting representatives from industry to
attend the conference. Frank Riessman suggested the idea in
that the Federal government is asking for greater participation
from private industry in regard to employing the hard core poor.
I am not certain that this is an area of concern for the Urban
Coalition. However, the employment of the poor is of major
concern for urban areas . The New Careers strategy has implications
for industry.

INTRODUCTION
• I
"Why not say we must train a million unemployed
a year £or un£illed jobs that already exist?"
I
Bernard Asbell asks this cogent question in The New Improved
American,* an analysis of the profound technological changes taking place in the United States.
American paradox:
He was referring to a puzzling
an acute shortage 0£ workers coexistent with an
acute shortage of jobs.
-
While industry spends billions seeking out and training skilled
and pro£essional personnel, it also bears the costs 0£ a high ratio
0£ employee turnover, and helps to cover the huge losses caused
to society through massive unemployment and underemployment 0£ the
unskilled.
The solution of these problems has become an urgent
concern 0£ private enterprise in America.
A New Careers program £or industry would embody Mr. Asbell's
pract ical point 0£ view.
The p r ogram's goal:
the creation or a
r ich resource 0£ industry-oriented, highly skilled manpower, the
reduction of personnel tur nover, and the reduction 0£ unemployment
i
among t he low skilled.
Its method :

�NEW CAREEl~S IN INDUSTRY
Private enterprise has moved to the forefront in the search
for new designs th~t will close the gap between the shortage o:f
I
skilled manpower and the millions of joble£s.
Traditional methods of personnel recruitment are not producing
the workers industry needs fast enough and in su:f£icient numbers,
and the cost o:f the persistent e££ort to £ind adequate help is high:
The New York Times estimates the yearly volume o:f its helpwanted classified and display ads at $30 million. The Los
Angeles Times' volume in help-wanted ads -is around $34.
million.
An officer of the New York Assn. o:f Personnel Agencies estimates that 85% of all jobs listed by private employment agenciE>s in New York City include payment of the agency fee by
the employer. "Comparable high percentages of fee-paid jobs
would be found in other major cities", the officer said.
"Many agencies will not even list an opening unless the fee
is paid by the employer. It's a worker's market." (The
average fee is 10% of the first month's salary.)
A survey 0£ hiring costs paid by 17 firms in the Rochester,
N. Y. area (9 manufacturing and 8 non-manufacturing firms)
indicates a total over 3 months (June and November, 1965 and
February, 1966) of $278,000, with 2/3 of this amount reported
by the manufacturing companies, and the balance by the nonmanufacturing. Average cost per hire was $222 for manufacturers and $138 £or non-manfacturers. 1
i
Spurred by the urgency of' their requirements, business firms
invest heavily in improving the skills ' and knowledge of their
employees with educational and training programs:
"· • • In 1965 3usiness Week estimated a total amount of
$18 billion and Fortune gave a higher figure of $2~ billion
(spent by private industry in this area). More recently,
it has been estimated that industry spent $17 billion in
1 966 in this area. 11 2

'
A portion o:f these amounts was allocated to training programs
designed to tap the unutilized potential of the nation's unskilled,
I
underemployed and unemployed labor force.
Private enterprise has
also begun developing innovative techniques of recruiting and hiring
so as to bring the disadvantaged into the labor market.
All indications point to the need for accelerating the drive
to produce workers with sophisticated know-hoy.,.
11 • • • The importance o:f developing solutions to unemployment
problems is • • • significant in light of projections of job
needs to 1975 as prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
while our population will increase by 16%, the labor force
will increase by an estimated 20% to include 94.l million
workers. 11 1
11 • • • About 230,000 skilled and 350,000 semi-skilled workers
are expected to b e needed each year to replace those who
re·ti:re or die." 2
Following are some manpower needs projected to 1975 1 based on
studies that include patterns of demand and consumer purchasing,
technological development, new products and industries. 3

In the face of such existing and :future needs, unemployment
is intolerable.
Nevertheless, the millions wl10 languish without
work continue to burden the economy and scholars, legislators,
'
civic organizations and the press consistently diagnose the frustra-
tions of the unemployed as a leading cause of social disruption.
Concern over the lack o:f work for the disadvantaged and the
ancillary social ills this causes has brought forth many proposals
£or emergency measures.
The business community has become increas-
ingly involved in the discussion and on August 2~, 1967 the Urban
Coalition (a grouping of more than 800 community and business leaders
£rom throughout the
u. s.) called £or the creation of at least one
l
million "meaningful and socially useful" jobs.
The intent 0£ the emergency measures suggested is laudable,
but such proposals do not £ocus the problem so directly as does
Bernard Asbell's apt phrase:
"Why not say we must t rain a million
unemployed a year :for unfilled jobs that already exist?"
This approach establishe s a one-to.;,one relationship between
i
industry's demand for s killed workers I and the lack o:f work :for
1 The term "meaningful" must be .def ined in two directions . From the
employer's viev.;point meanmg[..il work must supply a real need to his
organization , help him to ma..~e a prof it and not be subject to
turnover o f personnel.
From the employee's viewpoint, meaning:ful work must do more than
pay a wage. It must motivate him to ,remain on the job by giving
him a sense of achievement and digni t y, realistic opportunities
for steady advancemenjc and the assurance 0£ permanent employment
and continuing employability.
'
Socially useful work produces goods and services, promotes a higher
standard of living, provide s fisca l ~evenue , creates stability, and
.furthers the goals o.f society. Make ..:vJOrk and dead -end jobs accomplish
.few of these aims, except temporarily ,1 principally because they do
not encourage permanence; do not motivate the worker beyond achieving more than his weekly wage; do not build morale and loyaltyo

the unemployed.
As noted above, many firms are already actively
exploring this direction.
However, most programs do not yet go
I
far beyond equipping the workers to function at the semi-skilled
and entry level.
Until now there has not been a complete step by
step linking of training and education from basic skills and knowledge to the highly skilled and middle management positions.
To fully achieve such integration it is necessary to create
I
a practical program that will develop appropriate motivation in
the unemployed or underemployed people so that they will not only
accept entry level positions, but also become via education and
training a reservoir of manpower for the middle line skilled,
administrative, technical and even professional positions.
A design for creating a New Careers program in industry for
those now unskilled would utilize the availability or training for
those thousands of openings as the incentive, the motivational
impetus to bring the disadvantaged into the labor force.
Xerox
Corporation discovered in a recent experiment that good incentives
i
can attr a ct unsuspect ed numbers of per sons re a dy and willing to wo r k:
,hen Xer o x a nnounced that skill training and basic e ducation
were available in its Project Step-Up, it found among the
applicants four times as many persons who did not need the
t raining than those who did, and was able to hire them

THE NfaJ CAREERS MODEL
l
As a solution to unemployment and the dire shortage of skilled
and professional f Orkers in the public sector, the New Careers
approach was introduced with the passage of the Nelson-Scheuer
Amendment in 1966.
This legislation provided for the hiring, job-
training and education of nonprofessionals by the public service
agencies in the fields of health, education and welfare.
Under its
provisions, persons hired from the disadvantaged community work as
auxiliary personnel and can receiv2 time off from their jobs for
education and training which will equip them to qualify for more
responsible positions.
All job classifications within the parti-
cipating pub lie agencies are to be "careerized", that is redefined
and restructured so that employees may move upward gradually toward
semi-professional and professional levels as they acquire experience
and the necessary high school and academic education arld credentials,
part of which can be obtained during job time.
The New York City Board of Education is developing career
lines for its teaching personnel. A program of advanced
trai ning and education v,i th released time from the job to
attend cl ass es will enable entry-level teacher aides (nonprofessionals hi red from the disadvantaged community) to
adva nce to assistant teacher, teacher inter n and certified
teacher, with more responsibilities and higher salaries at
each level. The Board has made !special arrangements with
local colleges and universi t ies so that the auxiliaries will
receive training, education and academic credit .

2.

3.
A visible career ladder between these entry positions
and higher positions within the job hierarchy.
4.
Relevant training and education for higher positions

s.
Sharp integration of training and education, because
education is decisive for -any major advancement.
6.

be responsible £or the packaging of this training and
making it av21.ilable to the worker, rather than leaving
the respons:i.bili -.:::11 for acquiring training and education
up to the individual effort ofeach worker.
In a sense the career incentive program would be directed
toward the disadvantaged job candidate who asks,
11
,Jhy should I take
this dead-end beginning job which is boring, dirty ·and doesn't go
anywhere?"
The educational provisions would include making is possible
for the employee to acquire basic knowledge (the 3 R's), high
'
school equivalency and industry-related higher education leading
I
to academic degrees.
Education would take place, in part, during
I
working hours with time released from the job for attending classes.
The employee could adv.ance to semi-skilled , skilled or middle management and administrative positions as ,heacquired education and training provided by the company , and demdnstrated his capabilities.
I
I
Funding for firms unable to carry the full costs of partici-
'
pating in the program might be provided by government or private
I
�I
-7foundations.
Such funding would contribute toward entry level
salaries, the special training and education programs, and outside
technical assistance on such matters as setting up career line
structures, providing supportive services, etc.
l
Private enterprise would have full autonomy on all aspects
of administering su~h a proqram, including selection of personnel,
development of training methods and educational curricula, choice
of outside technical aid, if any is desired, and other components.
INDUSTRY EXPLORES NE,J GROUND IN MANPO;!ER DEV~LOPMENT
An interesting experiment in job-training with funds supplied
by government and private industry is under way at
vestern Electi:ic
Co., in Kearny, N. J.:
The u. s. Departments of Commerce, Health and Labor contributed $1 million and ten private companies contributed
$340,000 to '..Jestern Electric's pilot training project which
began operation in January, 1967. Each week 40 persons
from the disadvantaged community are enrolled for a rotating
9 week course in basic education and technical skills to
qualify for en'try jc'!)s in the metal industries.
Instruct·o rs
in basic educa~ion are supplied by the New Jersey State Dept.
of Education and technical training is imparted by experts
from the industry. Trainzes receive $41 per week while training, plus $5 per dependent. To 'd ate (Oct., 1967) 361 persons
have completed the course and 216 have been hired by 70
companies in the Newark area. A spokesman for :,Jestern
2lectric believes that the program will continue permanently,
with increasing participation by 1 private firms. He said,
" ;e're telling them 'come on in, the water's fine'"•
1 Funding arrangements might be worked ! out on a scale of 90% of the
above costs for the first year, with '. decreasing percentages in the
following years, moving on toward 0% 1at some later point.
Such a
procedure is followed . by public service agencies and government
under the New Careers Program in the public sector .
I
L
�-8-
Al though the ,!es tern Electric project is limited to preparing
the trainees to qJalify only for entry jobs, this experiment might
easily be expanded to include bot~ higher skill training and education to provide the industries of the area with a more specialized
source of manpower.
Even middle-size companies can benefit from facilitating
educational opportunities to employees, as has been demonstrated
by another program in the New Jersey -area:
I
\
.Jellington Printing Industries of Trenton, N. J. has found
it practical and e~onomical to establish an educational
incentive program which covers tuition and text-book costs
(and tutoring when necGssary) for its eraployees who wish
to obtain elementary, high school and college education.
At present 10% of the 400 employees participate, and larger
enrollments are expected in the coming term. Total cost
to the company is considered "negligible". Business Manager
Nathan Mayer says:
"Some of our men have been able in only
two years to acquire a high school diploma and _go on to
college. Some who started as helpers on a machine crew two
years ago now work as foremen. The program has supplied us
with permanent, capable workers, and we plan to expand it."
11 :e put the program into effect not from a desire
ne adds:
to perform good works, but as a practical solution to our
problem of not being able to find the skilled help we need."
,Jellington Industries also decided to discard conventional
I
methods of hiring.
I
Most applicants for entry positions are under-
educated and unskilled.
Mr. Mayer says:
"We decided to adopt the
policy of hiring on a first come, fir~t served basis and to eliminate the costly and often meaningless , effort spent on interviewing
and testing.
I
Although he may be a capable, willing worker, a job
I
applicant from th", disadvantaged population may not know how to
i
I
'
make a good impres,si.on in a:n intervieyv , and a poor previous work
record may indica~e only that he had t ot had sufficient motivation
�-9-
r
in the past to remain on a job.
Our assumption is that a man who
l
is willing to work can be motivated to become a permanent employee
I
and to upgrade himself for positions that are increasingly valuable
to himsel.f and to us."
Although the .!ellington employees now attend school on their
own time, the company's interest in helping them acquire an education and the visible opportunities £or promotion have motivated an
encouraging number 0£ workers to take on the often dif:ficult task
of attending classes.
It is logical to s~ppose that with time on
the job available for education a much larger number of workers
would participate.
Other companies make education available to their employees
on company time:
The DuPont Company recently completed its first experiment
in providing basic education to its under-educated employees.
Language skills wer e taught on company time to 46 veteran
employ-aes who are now e ligible to take skill-training courses
offered by GnPont. Thes e CO'l,;.rses are given to unskilled
enployecs after 'they have passed an initial period of familiarization in the firm's labor pool. Instruction is on
company time, two full days weekly. Trainees study at their
o wn pace, with ·the help of a su.pe:?:visor who answers specific
questions. After col"lplcting the training, the e.!llployces
work in the division f or which they have prepared.
Jorkers·
can upgr ade thc~selves to perform higher s k ills leading to
foreman positions by attending technical schools of their
o wn 1:ime, but with aid from the company on tuition.
The Pn::2.r0id Corpo:.:-ation of Cambridge, Mass. offers courses

The programs developed by private enterprise in working with
j
the under-educated are not limited
tq
heavy or- manu£acturing
!
industries.
'
Serv~ce institutions, such as banks, have also £ound
it worthwhile to reach out to the disadvantaged £or recruiting
workers and £acilitating education to them on the job.
Chase Manhattan Bank established a job-training program
in 1964 £or high school s~udents £rom the ha~d-core poverty
areas. Many 0£ the trainees are potential drop-outs and
have police records. Students entering the program at the
junior year of high school receive 2l months 0£ basic education and instruction in banking and £inance. They attend
classes at the bank from 2 to 5 p.m. daily and are paid
$1.86 per hour. They continue to attend high school during
the morning. Aft-2r g:cadua·i:ion they are hired for entry
clerical positions. They may go on to college on their own
time, with aid ~rom the bank via its tuition refund program.
Xerox Corporation's Project Step-Up was another valuable demonstration of the response of the poor to a program that links education to employment.
Project Step-Up was created to explore the fe a sibility of
recruiting, hiring, training and giving remedial education
to persons from the underprivileged community. The program
was postulated on two basic assumptions:
I
I
1.
It is good business, one that e nhances the pro£itmaking apparatus.
2.
The company could cut a clear path for itself to a
realistic solution for one of the nation's most complex
problems: HovJ to open up skilled employment oppor tunities to the unemployed. j
Many of the trainee s had police records, b ad credit ratings
and spotty emp loym8nt hist o ries. i To qualify for training they
had to be unemployed or underempioyed, receive substantially
less than a pas s ing score on the ! company's regular employment te s ts and not have finished high school.
(~
I
The 19 week training period took place during the day-shift
working hours.. 40% of the time was for classroom instruction,
and the rest for work and informal counseling to support the
new learning and adjustment to supervision and work ruleso
Trainees were paid an hourly rate slightly below that for
l
I
�-11\ ....
regular new employees and were eligible for all company
benefits. Al~ the trainees completed the program and
qualified for regular employment.
I
Foremen reported that trainees adjusted well and met
all standards. Xerox officials were impressed by the
trainees' commitment, their perseverance and their overall
reaction to the training, the work environment and to
other employees. The regular employees strongly supported
the program.
A Xerox spokesman said that the program was economical because
aside from the men who were trained, the company was able to hire
immediately four times as many applic<L,ts who did not need training.
Furthermore, he said, the company feels the program paid for itself
with the new knowledge gained as to methods of recruiting and motivating disadvantaged employees.
These techniques will now be
applied by Rochester Jobs, Inc., an organization of 70 firms in the
area which will act as a non-profit public service agency to hire,
counsel and train workers from the underprivileged community.
Many other firms in the U.
s.
have found that providing basic
education to t heir employees is a worthwhile investment and that
I
t he cos t is not high.

Jelfare demonstrated that teaching reading and arithmetic
skills to a person for five years costs less than his

Providing educational and specialization opportunities to upper
echelon personnel has long been an established practice in private
enterprise and many different types of models exist from the outright granting of leaves of absence and fellowships for postgraduate
study to intensive short-term courses.
National Training Laboratories reports that since 1956
more than 3,000 top and middle executives have been sent
by their companies to NTL c0nters in Maine, Florida and
Arizona to acquire proficiency in working with the complex
human problems inherent in the management process.
The American Foundation for Management Research has heavy
advanced bookings for its Management Learning Center where
companies send teams of their top executives for intensive
training in problem solving via the team approach. ·
It would seem that with the tremendous demand for managers and
professional personnel forecast for the years ahead, it would be
to the best interest of private enterprise to expand its facilities
I
for upward education a nd mobility so ,that the potential of the now
i
lesser s kille d c a n b e tapped.

MO~E REALISTIC TRAINING
The high cost of personnel turn .over plagues private enterI
prise. Many firm? have attempted to solve this problem by fraction-
I
ing jobs, employing moonlighters or part time workers, all of which
solutionshave impermanence implicit in their very nature.
Part of the reason for the excessive turn over rate is the
lack of realistic advancement opportunities for the entry worker
who has no clear paths to the middle and higher level positions.
Careerizing the industry and providing career-oriented incentives
including training and education would introduce the necessary motivation both prior to the job and on the job to fill these positions
C
and recruit the necessary employees. ,
Training programs not directly tied into job opportunities have
not been entirely successful.
After trainees have been taught
skills, it has often been :found that there were no jobs available
£or those skills.
In other words, training has not been realistic.
A comment on a government-sponsored training program, recently
!
issued by the AFL-CIO Executive Councf l
illustrates this danger:
I
"The government's training program provides for training,
with payment of allowances up to · t ·wo years. Unfortunately,
the present emphasis is often on training programs for jobs
which are dead end as well as low wage. Moreover, as long
as present training allowances remain as meager as they now
are, fe w workers, especially heads of £amilies, can afford
to forego the opportunity for immediate employment even a t
loVJ wages -- :par t icularly if the~ e is no assurance o:f a
job at t he end of the training p k riod . The government ' s
p r ograms should be l inked wi t h job placement , when t r a i n I,
i n g is compl~ted . • • 11 1

It appears logical that private enterprise is especially well
I
suited to train and educate workers, since it knows exactly what
positions must be !:filled and what is needed to :fill them.
In the
words o:f the National Association o:f Manu£acturers:
"• • • we should realize that the goals of an effective
manpower policy should be to develop a more effective
American work force; to create jobs which utilize abilities,
and to match people and jobs efficiently • • • Industry has
not only the expertise to achieve superior results, but it
also has the vital interest in full utilization of human
resources."
,Jith the training unde:::taken by industry as part of a careerized program, not only would trainees be more precisely matched
I
to available openings, but would also be immediately productive
·i
I
and would know that as they im~rove their skills they can step
. I
into more rev,arding jobs.
As we have seen, many segments of a career incentive approach
already exist in the creative projects, undertaken by private enterprise.
An integrated New Careers Program for industry would pack-
age advantageously techniques for recruiting the workers and providing motivation via skill training, ~ducation and clearly structured
upgrading opportunities to create new f ources of manpower, reduc~
l
labor turnover and combat unemployment.

Dea r Tom:
I want to thank you again fo r the fine show you put on for
Sargent Shriver on his visit to Atlanta.
In the three or four visits by Mr. Shriver here that I have
been involved in things have not always gone as smoothly
as they did on this visit . I am sure th t ev ryone else is
in a greement with me that your handling of the various
aspects of the visit as done v ry professionally and in a
responsible manner.
I have had several comments from th pre s noting that it
was a real relief to have a person with your attitude
organizing a visit for a high-ranking Fedel' 1 offlci 1.
Too often advance men to more h rm th n good.
Enclos dis
k y ehaln which you wer lnt rested in from
the M ayor. Let us know if we c n b of any help to you in
the future,
S incerely your ,

Dear DuPree:
I have finally received a copy of Mayor Lindsay's
Proclamation and I believe that the same proclamation with
the obvious local and time changes will be fine for Mayor
Allen.
For the Governor I think we can use a very slight
rewording of this proclamation but omitting any ref~rence
to the Atlanta exhibition since his proclamation will be
for the entire state.
If you have any obj e ction to my submitting the
suggested copy to the Mayor -and the Governo_r ~ please let
me know early next week.
Best regards,

Dear Jim:
Thank you for sending us a copy- of the Proclamation made by
Mayor John Lindsay in New York for the Job Corps display there.
We are passing this along to Dan Sweat in the Mayor's office here
in Atlanta, and we can always count on the fullest cooperation
from Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. Unfortunately, as you know, the same
thing cannot be said of Governor Lester Maddox; indeed, we have
been told by our State OEO office that the Governor is very much
opposed to the Job Corps at this time and definitely would not
make any proclamation relative to such an occasion.
If we can provide any additional information or · assistance, don't
hesitat e to call on us.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Sweat:
DuPree Jordan has referred to you the Proclamation
regarding Job Corps Week in Atlanta. This was the Proclamation worked out for Mayor Lindsay, of New York City.
We are planning for the Exhibition 11A Chance To Be
Somebody" to open at the Regency-Hyatt House on approx imately
August 16th and to run through September 1st. I assume it
would make sense for you to declare the week of August 19th
through 24th as Job Corps Week but the dates may be set, of
course, at your discretion.
We very much appreciate your cooperation and we are
quite hopeful of having s ome importan t national figures i n
Atlanta for the launching of our Exhibition and will again
n eed to call on your office for advice in e x tending inv i t a tions to a preview showing .
