OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY IN REPLY REFER TO:
FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. i }
Mayor \
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mayor Allen:

This is in response to your letter urging the
inclusion of your city as one of the approximately 20
Model Cities in which the "In-City" housing experiment
will be conducted.

: The three major contractors selected for Phase I of
the experiment submitted their findings on June 15.
Review of these submissions has now begun. As a
result of this review the Department will select a
prime contractor and the cities in which to locate the
experiments. I will be pleased to advise you when a
final decision has been reached.

I appreciate knowing of your interest in having your
city participate in the experiment and assure you that
every possible consideration will be given to your
recommendation.

Sincerely yours,
