Ite purpose is to improve the quality of life in our cities by involving the private sector. As of October 27, 1968 there were 39 local coalitions. The membership of these local coalitions generally includes members of minority groups and leadership segments of the community such as the mayor, businessmen, lahor, churches, news media and the professions. Task Forces have been set up in the following areas: (1) Manpower: considering the establishment of a nonprofit corporation to create jobs and match them with the skiils of the unemployed. (2) Economic Development: have created two corporations; one to give short term loans to minority group businessmen, the other to give managerial and technical advice. (3) Education: have created some schools for drop-outs. (4) Rousing: working on privately sponsored housing projects. (5) Communications: creation of dialogue between white and black communities -- emphasis has been on stimulating the hiring of minority group membere. - 2 - Suggested Questions Apparently the Urban Coalition has done a lot more talking than doing and, in general, seems to be inclined toward big government spending programs. Suggest you probe them for apecific actions that can be taken to involve the private sector without getting into huge government programs - -- such as federally guaranteed jobs.) (1) What specific techniques would you suggest to accelerate and broaden the involvement of the private enterprise sector in solving our urban problems? For example, what action could be taken in each of the following areas? (a) Education (b) Jobs (c) Housing (d) Economic Self-Deveiopment ("Black Capitalism") (2) What are the specific short and long range goals of the Urban Coalition? (3) How is the work of the Urban Coalition coordinated with the National Alliance of Businessmen? (4) Do you think the imaginative use of tax credits would be usefui? (5) From your experience to date which programs of the Urban Coalition have been most effective? PROPOSED AGENDA FOR MEETING OF URBAN COALITION REPRESENTATIVES WITH THE PRESIDENT-ELECT I.

We would tell them the purposes of our visit, as follows: (a) To stress the urgency of the urban crisis (b) To describe the objectives of the Urban coalition (c) To offer our help to the new Administration in constructive efforts to solve the problems of the cities. If We are asked about Mr. Nixon's reactions, We would not go beyond saying that he "seemed interested in what we had to say. Possible Statement by Mr. Nixon We would, of course, be gratified if Mr. Nixon saw fit to issue a statement indicating: (a) His deep concern about the problems of the cities (b) His keen interest in the work of the Urban Coalition, representing as it does, an effectively func- tioning grass roots organization under broad and varied leadership (c) His intention to welcome the help of the Coalition and even seek it out in his own efforts to tackle urban problems. ibe.Urb.

The leadership and moral support on your part, in my opinion, was the main ingredient toward the '68 success. [ regret that those of us here in Columbia County, Georgia, who have been attempting to build a two-party system have no victory to celebrate, but we shall continue and redouble our efforts in the future. For your information, Columbia County starts about tow or three miles west of Ike's "Lictle White House" at the Augusta National. At the moment-and for the past 40 odd years It is a rural county dominated by one man, one family control. The political situation is not pleasant. I realize full well the demands made on your time and efforts Ln behalf of the Republican Party, but it seems that LE we are to ever get a good two party system established here, chen we will have to have the assistance and prestige of those admired and respected within the Party. Should the occasion arlse that you may use the cottage at the Augusta Nacional for 6 weekend or few days away from Washington, we would like to arrange a speaking engagement or tour of our County for you. Again, congratulations and best wishes for a most successful "first four year" administration.

Realizing this, I hope you'll have time to read this letter from a person I'm sure you remember. Belatedly, I'd like to extend my sincerest congratulations to you and your associates on the campaign staff. It must have been the most rewarding experience of your life that can be surpassed only by the events yet to come. You'll recall I wrote you last summer regarding volunteer work and subsequently became involved with the fund raising drive under Bud Litton. Now, I'll get right to the point by saying that I've noticed numerous articles recently about the recruiting efforts currently underway to fill all of the appointments in the Nixon Administration. I honestly believe the next four years will be the most im- portant years that guys our age have ever known and I'd like to work for the success of the programs of the new administration. Therefore, I'd like to ask you to pass my name along to your recruiting staff in the expectation of arranging an interview in the near future. This advertising business? Still enjoy it as much as ever, but I guess I've been gradually developing a craving for a new challenge.
