Dear John:
The Recreation Sub-Committee for the 1969 Youth Cpportunity Pregram held a meet-
ing on December 10 to begin the planning for the "Summer '69" program.
One of the topics discussed was better cooperation and synchronization of effort
between the various public and private organizations participating in the
"Summer '69" program.
More specifically, the Committee requested that the school systems partici-
pate in the various neighborhood discussions being held for the Youth Opportu-
nity Council by the Citizens Advisory Committees of the E O A. These meetings
are being held in order for citizens to discuss with operating agencies the
types and kinds of programs desired for their neighborhoods.
Mr. Koth has agreed, with your approval, to discuss this matter with Area
Superintendents and Principals, advising them that they will be invited to par-
ticipate in the discussions of these area committees. An early involvement of
school officials at all levels in the planning of the summer program isGGesired
goal of this year's campaign.
Knowing of your deep interest in the Youth Opportunity Program, I would appreciate
your lending support by way of communication from your office to area superin-
tendents and principals. Please urge them to be present or delegate some mem-
bers of their staff to represent them at these area committee meetings.
