MEMORANDUM
CECIL A. ALEXANDER, Chairman
Housing Resources Committee
To: Mr. Dan 4. Sweat, Jr. MALCOLM D. JONES
. . os Housing Coordinator
Director of Governmental Liaison
Pursuant to our verbal discussion this morning, attached is copy of a
letter which I wrote some time ago to Dr. Ed Harrison, President of Georgia
Tech, pertaining to a presentation before his Construction and Design Panel
of the Housing Resources Committee, of a construction process developed by
Mr. John McNamara, Engineer, and his associate, Mr. Leon J. Meyer, Architect,
both from Savannah.
A slide presentation of the vrocess was made before the Construction and
Design Panel of the Housing Resources Committee in Dr. Harrison's office at
Georgia Tech on March 26,
Mr. McNamara has gone to Washington and presented his concept to Mr.
Porter Driscoll, Director of the Architectural Division, FHA in HUD and to
Mr. Driscoll's superior, Mr. Deman, Assistant Commissioner for Technical
Standards in HUD (both at HUD's main office in Washington).
Mr. McNamara states that he was well received by both gentlemen who
expressed considerable interest in his project and offered to recommend a
Federal grant under Experimental Housing for a pilot project using this
method.
Mr. McNamara has further advised me that he talked by phone today with
Mr. Driscoll in Washington, telephone Area Code 202, number 382-558); that
Mr. Driscoll said he would be glad to talk with you or other persons from
Atlanta about this project, but suggests that a specific appointment be made
in advance to insure that he would be available; that he does quite a bit of
traveling and might therefore be out of the office.
Mr, McNamara's telephone number in Savannah is Area Code 912, number
232-821
Sincerely,
