STATEMENT BY WAN ALLEN, JR.

DECE R 27, 1968

This announcement represents a year's hard work by our
Model Cities Staff, but it represents more than two years! activity by

residents of the Model Cities area.

All of us are anxious for actual physical action to begin and
if we can sustain the enthusiam and dedication that has been shown in

the planning phase, we will be assured of a successful program,

We must demonstrate Atlanta's ability to build the type
community in which families can live and work with all the opportunities
and advantages an urban environment can provide. And then we must
transfer what we have learned and produced in the Model Cities area

to all neighborhoods of the City.
