F"ITCI-I, PRESIDENT July 1, 1968 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of the City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: As you know, federally supported programs in the poverty and manpower training fields require some degree of local contribution. Presently, the local contribution is a small percentage of the total and we believe that most municipalities meet it with in-kind rather_ than cash contributions. However, there is continuing discussion in Congress to raise the local share. Municipalities thus would be required to assume a greater portion in cash. We are interested in learning, for a study we are conducting, Atlanta's present contribution of municipal tax-levied funds to federal programs and also your estimate of your city's capability to pick up a greater share. In particular we are interested in the following programs: Community Action Programs under Title II of the E.conomic Opportunity Act (EOA); the Ne ighborhood Youth Corps under Tit l e IV of the EOA; the Work Experience Program under Title V of the EOA; the Work Study Program under the Higher Education Act; and Manpower Training Programs under the Manpower Development and Training Act. We appreciate your cooperation with this project. Sincere ly, ~\{~+f Assista nt Dire ctor \ ., J �
