CITY OF .ATLANT.A CITY HALL May 26, 1969 ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 IVAN ALLEN, JR., MAYOR R. EARL LANDERS, Administrative Assistant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. From: Dan Sweat ~ Subject: Attached letter from New York Urban Coalition on Summer NYC J obs I had a call from Washington a few days ago asking how many NYC slots we would like for this summer. We had anticipated 250. I suggested that we would be able to effectively use 675 which was the final total we reached last summer. Since that time, we have r ece ived word that 675 slots have been approved. The U. S. Department of Labor has been fair with us in my opm10n in giving us these slots. I don't really feel like we should have to h e lp fight N ew Y o r k 's battl e. The problem i s that N ew York is in a clas s all by itself and the numb e r of jobs they need staggers the imagination. You will notice the y are talking abo ut upwards to 100,000 jobs. They have 55,000 approved . Unless you jus t want to s upport a general demand for more slots, as we have done in the past, I woul d recommend no action. DS:fy �
