A-2 Neighborhood Development Program Second Year Activities We have b een a dvis ed by Assistant Secretary Law rence M.

This a1wunt of capital grant funds equals l~5.9% of the amount .allocated for the first year's activity for the s~x programs . The Regional Office has the responsibility for dividing the amount of $24,ooo ,ooo among the six progra1:1s . We intend to use other criteria than merely multiplying last year 's alloca tions by 45.9%; each city's needs, its record of perfor~ance, and its ability to stretch some activities into a subsequent year will be considered. We provide y·ou this information as a basis for your preparation of the Nei ghborhood Development Program Application for 1970. Sincerely yours, /' /2 ( ~ . . __"');,~-- -I _l~_,__ J0.
