Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr.
Chief Administrator
City of Atlanta

City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Dan:

This has reference to your letter of August 18
directed to Charlie Davis in connection with the Urban Corps
Program.

I certainly do agree that the City received considerable
benefit from this program during this summer, but I algo agree
with your position that we should discontinue this program for
an interim period until we can take stock of what our situation
is, particularly the question of receiving all of the contributions
that have been pledged to this program.

It would seem to me that your staff is fully capable
of planning a 1970 program without the necessity of continuing
with a director, assistant director, stenographer, etc.

1 would also like to mention that any program you
propose for 1970 be fully documented not only as to the funds
required from the City of Atlanta, but also the benefits that
have been and are expected to be derived from the program.
There is some question in my mind as to whether or not we
should set this up as a permanent part of the City's organization
but instead continue on a summer program basis.
