Dear Me. Hume:
The above Project ie in an area of acute racial tensions. The
Part I for this Project has been subaltied, and we have been
waiting for approval for a considerable length of time. Public
Hearings have been held ani the Part TT submittal will be made

immediately after approval of the Part I.

The new Housing Act gives Atlanta an opportanity to convert this
Project to the new program entitled Neighborhood Development
Program. We wish to make thin converaion at the earliest possible
date, which we estimate to be within approximtely three to four
monthe. Pending such conversion, however, it is important to
Atlanta that this Project be approved as presently constituted
immedi ately,without the delay necessary to convert it.

Any stapes you can take in view of the foregoing which would result
in early approval of this Project would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
