Dear George:
This is to acknowledge your letter of November 25, 1969, which relates
to my letter of November 24 regarding certain contracts that have been
entered into by the City of Atlanta Urban Corps and various agencies,
commissions, educational institutions and a comment I made in my letter
of November 24 regarding the holding of payments for certain funds of
the Urban Corps, The next to the last paragraph of my letter contains
a mis-statement I would like to correct; that is to delete the wording
"for income’, This paragraph should have read: "In a review of my
files, I do not have filed with this office an agreement relating to
the number of interns the City is to receive and the consideration the
City is to pay for these interns. By a copy of this letter, I am ask-
ing the Accounts Payable Auditor not to process any payments of these
funds allocated for the Urban Corps until this agreement is received,"
The letter to Mr, Ken Millwood was dictated on Saturday, November 22,
and signed that day by me for delivery to Mr. Millwood on November 24,
Your transmittal of the agreement was stamped received by this office on
Monday, November 24 which is the day I was in New York.
In your letter of November 25, you state: "Not withstanding the fact
you had this contract in hand before your letter was written, your
threat to cut off the Urban Corp's funds is highly improper". As I
explained to you over the telephone on Tuesday, November 25, the
agreement was not in my hands prior to dictating my letter of November
24, and I do not consider it improper to say that I am cutting off funds
of the Urban Corps. As a matter of fact, I could make no payments to
the Urban Corps under the contract until the contract was thoroughly
executed and received in this office,
If yow statement had reference to positions that are established by Or-
dinances and on the payroll of the City, I can see your concern but this
was certainly not the intent of my letter of November 24,
Mr. George J. Berry

George, since our correspondence, we have received from your office the
signed executed agreement on the Urban Corps, and we have also received
a requisition for payment to the Urban Corps for the sums due them. This
payment is has been processed and is in the hands of the Urban Corps at
this time.
I trust that this concludes this subject,
Sincerely,
Charles L. Davis
