SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
WASHINGTON 25, D.C.
OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR
December 9, 1963
MEMORANDUM FOR:
Honorable Walter Jenkins
Special Assistant to the President
FROM:
Eugene P. Foley
Administrator
SUBJECT:
Coordination of Federal Lending and Spending
Programs in Hard Core Unemployment Areas
of Major Cities
I am attaching a memorandum on the above subject which
I sent to a group of officials in the Administration some time
ago. It is hard to believe there is no coordination of Federal
programs in urban areas but there isn't. I think we can dosa
much better job of implementing these programs if they were
coordinated with other Federal programs as well as municipal
planning and, at the same time attack one of the major economic
and social problems of the country -- the hard core unemployment
areas of major cities.
I personally think this has great political benefits for
President Johnson. I might suggest we select a pilot city to
experiment with and after some of the "bugs" are worked out, arrange
for the President to hold a conference of the Congressmen and mayors
of other large cities for the purpose of announcing a program to
attack this problem.
I have not gone forward with this plan as yet and would
like to have some indication of approval to go ahead before I start.
I would, of course, see to it that there would be no national
publicity until the President made his announcement.
