Mr. Milton Parris November 18, 19€9 Page 2 people into city government has been a major problem. These are only the quantifiable poten.tials of an effective Orban Cor ps program. The very real potentials of community benefit, educational enrichment, a counter-measure to student rad icalization, and the benefit to the individual student are also deeply rooted into the Urban Corps concept. As further clarification, let me say that t he budget ks for $75,349 to finance t he administration oft Urban Corps for one year. An additional $64,344 (makina total of $ 13916 3) is ne ded to meet the rity's share of the salaries of internc. working in city epartroents. (This cost represents 34~ of th se interns total stipend which is conparable to the 30 pai d by non- city agencies.) Thank you for your consideration of th's s ry and to the Urban Corps proposal . We welco e your Committee' valu tion of the benefits of our Progr to the City, nd hope you ill discus its value .ith interns ·orking both in City Hall and in non- city gencios.

The endorsement of the South ' s leading urban administrator lent invaluable credibility to our efforts. More i mportant to us locally, I personally thank you for the expression of support you gave me in the budget hearing the afternoon of that same day . I was unaware that I was to make the presentation until I was introduced at the meeting. Your assistance in clarifying some imp ortant p oints to the other gen tlemen present was e x tremely help ful.
