Dear Committee Members:

Twill be the sixth day before Christmas and all through our program
will be items of timely interest for our last full committee meeting of 1967.

We will start off with a report on the year's activities in urban
renewal and allied undertakings by Howard Openshaw, director of redevelop-
ment for the Atlanta Housing Authority, In addition to telling what has been
going on during 1967, Howard will give us a concise preview of what is ahead
for 1968,

Then we will have some updating on the Model Cities Program by
Chuck Straub, in charge of this program in Atlanta for the regional office of
HUD,

Thirdly, we will have some updating on our participatian in the 221-H
program. Before our meeting, Mrs, Grace Hamilton and I are going out to
look at some possible sites for our project. We are asking Mrs, Hamilton
to tell us about these sites. We hope to have this program fully underway
after the first of the year,

Then, if time permits we have asked James A, Smith, chief of the
housing code inspection service, to tell us about the streamlining of the housing
code that has recently been effected by the Board of Aldermen,

Iam sure there will be some questions and answers on these
various topics,

Chairman Sommerville and I will be looking forward to seeing you
on Tuesday afternoon, December 19, 2:30, Atlanta Room of the C & S National
Bank,

Sincerely yours,

William S, Howland
