Dear Dan:
Thank you for the material which reported
on the Conference to Develop an Integrated Approach
to the Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency.
I find the material rather interesting since
it relates to a matter about which I have been concerned
for some time, not only in the field of juvenile
delinquency, but also in practically every urban
problem that exists. The concern relates, of course,
to the fact that there is in practically every field
a complete lack of coordination of efforts by agencies
concerned with mutual problems.
As you know, there is afoot an effort to
develop a coordinated program in the Model Cities
area which would bring together representatives of the
police, courts, probation, school and concerned
private social service agencies. I find that the
proposed Model Cities' effort is not dissimliar from
the effort described in the attached report relating
to the Joint Youth Develop Committee - Law Enforcement
Correction Program of Chicago and in the recommenda-
tions set forth in Volume I of the attached report.
Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr.

I am sure you will receive, if you have not
already, an invitation to attend a Model Cities
meeting at the Central Presbyterian Church on
November 10 to discuss this coordinated effort.
Again, thank you for referring this material
to me, I found it most interesting.
