Mr. Mason L. Wyatt
Deputy Director

Model Cities Department
City of Lawton

1202 Lee Boulevard
Lawton, Oklahoma 73501

Dear Mr. Wyatt:

Mayor Allen has asked me to answer your letter of May 14,
requesting information on Atlanta's city government organization.

I am afraid that any information we might try to compile would

be of limited benefit to you in planning your Model Cities program,
However, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
has recently released a history and analysis of the planning process
in 3 Model Cities. They were the first 3 cities selected ~- Atlanta,
Seattle, and Dayton,

This study contains information on the City of Atlanta's govern-
ment organization and the process we went through in putting
together the Model Cities program. I believe this will be of much
more value to you than anything I might be able to supply. If you
do not have a copy, you may obtain one by writing HUD or to the
Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, D, C. 20402 (Government Printing Office # 0-39+676).

Sincerely yours,

Dan Sweat
