MEMORANDUM ye ) FS [
To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.

When John Feild was in town Thursday, (discussed with him the

role which I could best play in assisting the ban Coalition. As

I discussed it with you before, it was my feeling t there was

no reason why I should attend all the working sub-co ittee meetings
of the Coalition in Washington and that John Gunther and John Feild
could represent you and the other Mayors involved without specific
representation from each Mayor,

From: Dan Sweat TA






We are in agreement on this point and I will not attend any routine
working sessions but only those where my attendance is absolutely
necessary. He will keep in touch with me on any points where
your individual recommendations are needed,

He has asked that I act as liaison with eight or ten Southern cities
listed as key participants in the Urban Coalition, These are:
Atlanta, Little Rock, Savannah, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Nashville,
Galveston and Miami. My role would be to maintain contact with
the Mayor and/or his key representative in each one of these cities
with the immediate task of encouraging their participation in the
October 17 planning meeting for local coalitions in Chicago.

This would involve some telephone calls during the next two weeks,
I believe this type participation at this point would be better than

trying to attend meetings every week in Washington,

I would appreciate your thinking on this matter.
