GENERAL MANAGER MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. R. Earl Landers
FROM: Jack Delius

SUBJECT: Development of Allatoona Camp

You recently asked me in my office what plans we might have
to start development on the 470 acres of leased property at
Lake Allatoona,. I advised you we would like to do some
trail blazing and ober basic improvements this sunmer,. I
have recently talked with Dan Sweat and we have computed that!
for $96,000 we could employ a total of 800 young men on the
project, using a 100 per week for an eight week period. Dan
has incorporated this proposal into some information given to
the Mayor which is to be presented to Vice President Humphrey.
If no funds materialize, we could of course greatly reduce the
number of people involved, It is felt that the Nelson Amendment
people could be utilized at $1.40 per hour. We would have to
have proper supervision of these young men. We would need
stoves, tents, etc,
