I discussed this with Lee White and he feels it would be a
good idea to select a city as a pilot program to see if this might
possibly be expanded to cover all the major cities in the U.S.
Needless to say, there could conceivably be a political benefit
both for the Administration and for friendly mayors.

cannot be at the next scheduled meeting of our group
but you may wish to discuss this matter in my absence. The following
cities may conceivably be selected as the pilot city: St. Louis,
Providence, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago,
and Cleveland.
1 am sending this memorandum to you in order to get your
views on this both as to its economic practicality as well as its
political practicality. If thero seems to be a consensus of
approval, I would take the bull by the horns and call the necessary
Federal agencies together, select a city, and go to work. If you have
any thoughts on this, I would be interested in hearing from you.
