Dear Mr. Wright:

I raised two questions concerning a proposed contract
between the Model Cities agency and the firm of Wright
Jackson Brown Williams Stephens and Bond, Inc. These
questions were as follows:

1. lIasked whether it was necessary to bring in
an outside firm to carry out the public relations
feature of the Model Cities program when adequate
staff had already been provided for this purpose.

2. I questioned whether the city should contract for
serv ices of this type without competitive bidding
with a private, profit-making firm, and whose
organization is composed of an indirect city employee,
Mr. Williams with the Community Relations Commission,
and two prominent public officials.

These were the questions I raised, and I will be glad to discuss
them with you at your convenience.

Sin cerely,

Ivan Allen, Ir.
