T. F. Rogers, Director of HUD' s Office of Urban Technology

Mr. Rogers noted that "it is on~ of HUD' s prime responsibilities
to insure that states, cities and localities use its assistance programs
to maximu m advantage. The conclusions of this study are expected
to aid both HUD and the cities in improving the results of such Federal
programs as public housing, urban renewal., water and sewer facilitie s,
and open space.
11
The National Academy o f Public Administration, working with its
parent organization, the America n Society for Public Administration,
will establish a national panel and individual city panels to conduct
the study. These panels will develop a pattern describing the activities related to the admini stration o f each program surveyed in a city,
and analyze the principal local c ritica l decisions and actions. The ·
panel members will include member s of the Academy a nd residents of
each city to be surveyed who are knowledgeable in public administration
matters.
