Dear Mr. Persells:

Subject: Project No. Ga. A+2
Neighborhood Development Program
Second Year Activities

We have been advised by Assistant Secretary Lawrence M. Cox that
$24 ,000 ,000 has been established as the amount available for the
second year's activity of the six Neighborhood Development Programs
now under way in Region III. This amount of capital grant funds
equals 45.9% of the amount allocated for the first year's activity
for the six programs.

The Regional Office has the responsibility for dividing the amount
of $24,000,000 among the six programs. We intend to use other
eriteria than merely multiplying last year's allocations by 45.9%;
each city's needs, its record of performance, and its ability to
stretch some activities into a subsequent year will be considered.

We provide you this information as a basis for your preparation of
the Neighborhood Development Program Application for 1970.

Sincerely yours,
