"Thank you." tion of Mr. Conrad Damian, Vice President of the Southeast Side PAC Mrl Damian: "Well, basically, I'll say the same things as the other gentleman. We have been working for three years on the Southeast Side to bring some funding into our neighborhood and I know that you all have been through quite a bit of discussion about our Southeast Side Project, and we are very happy at this time with the plan. We are happy that the administration has come through with this plan with us and we feel that it is the best proposal for our neighborhood. The residents of that first action year are behind this plan and are looking forward to it coming into our neighbor- hood.
