The Urban Coalition / Federal Bar Building West [1819 H Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. [ 20006
Steering Committee Co-chairmen: Andrew Heiskel/ / A, Philip Randolph
March 29, 1968
NATIONAL COORDINATOR'S WEEKLY REPORT
This is the last of the National Coordinator's Weekly Reports,
initiated by John Feild and myself September 29. They were begun
because we felt that members of the Steering Committee should be
kept as currently advised as possible about action to implement the
policies of the Steering Committee.
John Feild returned to his duties at the U. S. Conference of Mayors
in January, but he has continued to provide invaluable assistance and
consultation to the Coalition. I have remained at my post to help as
much as I could in the transfer of responsibilities and duties to
Chairman John Gardner.
Having been associated with and having worked for John Gardner over
the past year and a half on special assignments at the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare, it has been especially gratifying to
continue that relationship; and, at his request, I will be available,
at his call, to consult and assist on Coalition projects.
In the meantime, I shall devote my efforts to completing a book and
pursuing my normal professional activities in the environmental
Management field.
However, I cannot relinquish my coordinator's title or cease the
issuing of this report without a strong and warm thank you to the
members of the Steering Committee and their representatives who have
been so supportive and helpful during the past seven months. It has
been a most gratifying experience working for the Steering Committee
and particularly working for Andrew Heiskell. I look forward to a
continuing involvement in the Coalition.
