Dear Mr. Smith:
This letter is to appoint you to the Atlanta panel formed by the
Academy to function with respect to our research contract with the U.S. De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development. Enclosure "A" is a copy of the
HUD announcement regarding this project. :
The contract calls for us to study the critical decisional and
administrative aspects, primarily from the local point of view, of four HUD-
assisced urban programs: y turnkey housing,2inner-city open space,2basic sewer
and water facilities grants, andjnon-profit sponsored new housing under Sec-
tion 221(d)(3)--a replacement for study of 221(h). These programs wiil be
analysed from point of origin to point of impact in six (or seven) cities,
with Atlanta serving as the pilot study.
The project will tie in with related HUD contracts awarded to the
National League of Cities to evolve a system of urban observatories (in addi-
tion to Atlanta, four other designated observatory cities are among those
cities which we have recommended to HUD for inclusion in our study)’, and to
Rutgers University to study ways of achieving a more effective state role in
urban programs.
Dr. Morris W. Collins, Jr., Director of the-Institute of Government,
University of Georgia, is convenor of the Atlanta panel. Other panelists are
listed on Enclosure "B'. One or two additional members may be appointed.
As knowledgeable Atlantans, the panel will be asked to orient, inform,
advise, and hélp direct the three-man team which will be in Atlanta from
March 3lst through April llth. In addition to myself, this team is composed
of Messrs. Elias B. Silverman and Charles R. Warren.

tation of our data and to the formulation of findings and conclusions.
