ON MODEL CITIES PROGRAM
August 1, 1969
The Model Cities Program is a cooperative effort among the
Federal Government, Seas “coveshient, the ‘City Government and the
residents who live in the Model Neighborhood Area. As such, vie
soccteic program designed to correct the problems in the Model
Neighborhood Area will be a product of the cooperative ecenae of
all those involved.
On August 2nd, the 25 members of the CDA Board who will
eoreuant the citizens of the Model Netehbor hood Area will be’
elected. Every resident of the Area should plan to vote in his
district at one of the polling suaeed listed below. Never has
an election been held in this Area which affected the lives of
its residents more directly and significantly than will this one.
In order to vote in the election, residents must be registered
with the Model Cities Program.
Registration has been conducted (1) house-to-house in
the Model Neighborhood, (2) at the centers listed below during
July and, . F _ (3) at the Model cities Office, 1418 McCallie

One key to the success of the Model Cities Program is the
direct participation of the citizens of the Model Neighborhood
Area. The fact is that the Model Cities Program cannot succeed without
the participation of a significant number of the residents of the MNA.
I want to urge each and every voter registered to participate in
