Dear Ivan:

In response to your letter of instructions of April
3, 1969, the Housing Resources Committee has been reorganized
and several of the Panels are progressing nicely in their
work.

One of the key documents you requested our Committee
to work on has been most difficult to obtain. This is the
report, “Lowering The Cost of Housing", prepared by Eric
Hill and Associates for the Model Cities Program,

After talking with the staff of the Planning Depart-
ment, the Model Cities Staff and the Consultant, it appears
that the study was completed, sometime in March 1969 and has
not yet been printed. We have been advised from time to time
that it was in the process of being reproduced. However, we
are also told that no specific authorization to print the
report has yet been issued,

The Construction and Design Panel of HRC is having
its study of this report considerably delayed, in waiting
for copies of the report.

The printing of this report is apparently the
responsibility of the Model Cities Program. Consequently,
we are asking your assistance as Chairman of the Executive
Board to expedite the delivery of this report to us in order

that we might proceed with the charge you have given us for
1969.

Sincerely,

Lond

Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman
Housing Resources Committee
