April 30, 1969 Mr . Waymon S . Wri ght Wright Jackson Brown Williams Stephens and Bond, Inc . 1014 Gordon Street, S . W . Atlanta, Georgia 30310 Dear Mr . Wright: I raised two questions concerning a proposed contra.ct between the Model Cities agency and the f i rm of Wright Jackson Brown Williams Stephens and Bond, Inc. These questions were as follows : 1. I asked whether it was necessary to bring in an outside firm to carry out the public relations feature of the Model Cities program when adequate staff had already been provided for this purpose. 2. I questioned whether the city should contract for erv ice of this type without competitive bidding with a private, profit-m king firm. and whose organization is composed of an indirect city exnployee, Mr. W illiams ith the Community Rel tion Commis ion, and two prominent public official . These ere the question I r i ed, and I will be glad to discu s them with you at your convenience. Sin cer ly, Ivan Allen, Jr. IAJ r : m �
