CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FOR URBAN RENEWAL



OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
CITY HALL—ATLANTA, GA. 30303
PHONE 524-2745

ROBERT L, SOMMERVILLE
CHAIRMAN

WILLIAM S. HOWLAND
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

MRS. EVELYN DODDS
SECRETARY

November 17, 1967

Dear Executive Committee Member -

I feel sure that all of us agree with The Constitution's editorial today which said -

"Yesterday's announcement that Atlanta had been approved for a model
cities planning grant is an event of major importance. It gives Atlanta what
is potentially the most powerful tool it has ever used to reverse urban decay
and to serve a changing population,

"Atlanta's selection is at once a reward and a challenge."

Since our committee has been an ardent supporter of the Model City Program
from its inception, I have asked Dan E, Sweat, the city's Director of Govern-
mental Liaison, to brief us on the program's present status and future
potential at our meeting at 2 p.m., Tuesday, November 21, in the Directors
Room, Fulton Federal Savings and Loan Building.

Sincerely,

(ty Carta,

William S. Howland
