This conference will deal with Expanding Employment Opportunities

The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Allen are cooperating
with the Task Force on Private Employment of the Urban Coalition
in this conference.

Top business executives from throughout the Eastern U. S. will
participate. Some of the firms who will take part in the workshop
discussions are RCA, Eastman Kodak, R. J. Reynolds, G. E.,
and Ford. There are others, along with the National Association
of Manufacturers, Urban League and local business executives
and employment people,

Of key importance to the Atlanta people will be the "premier" of

of Commerce, EOA, the Community Council and Community Chest
