Dear Mr. Alexander:

Secretary George Romney has asked me to reply to your letter of
October 8, 1969, concerning the Neighborhood Development Program
(NDP).

I want to clarify that the amount of $24 million referred to in
Mr. John T. Edmunds' letter of September 23 represents a tentative
earmarking, based on estimates, of funds for second year NDP
activities in the six cities in Region III presently involved in
NDP. The actual amount cannot be determined until Congress has

. completed action on HUD's Fiscal Year 1970 appropriations and the
_ Fiscal Year 1970 funding levels for the Neighborhood Development
' Program have been established.

Although our Department is firmly committed to the Neighborhood
Development Program, it is anticipated that fund limitations will
make it necessary to place controls on its management. The
accompanying background paper explains these considerations in
greater detail.

Mr. Edmunds and his staff are working out guidelines for the
allocation of funds within Region III when the Fiscal Year 1970
funding levels of the Neighborhood Development Program have been
established. I suggest that you keep in touch with him with
respect to future funding decisions concerning Atlanta's’
Neighborhood Development Program.

Sincerely yours,

‘NE onda sss Secretary

for Renewal Assistance
