MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.

From: Dan Sweat 5h

Subject: Attached letter from New York Urban Coalition
on Summer NYC Jobs

I had a call from Washington a few days ago asking how many

NYC slots we would like for this summer. We had anticipated

250. I suggested that we would be able to effectively use 675

which was the final total we reached last summer, Since

that time, we have received word that 675 slots have been approved.

The U. S. Department of Labor has been fair with us in my
Opinion in giving us these slots. I don't really feel like we should
have to help fight New York's battle. The problem is that New
York is in a class all by itself and the number of jobs they need
staggers the imagination, You will notice they are talking about
upwards to 100,000 jobs. They have 55,000 approved.

Unless you just want to support a general demand for more slots,

as we have done in the past, I would recommend no action.
