10. <br />IGNATION OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CHARLES "F. LENNON, JR. (Cont'd <br />1YOR JERRY J. MILLER (Cont'd <br />I cannot say too much of Chuck Lennon - -he is one of the <br />most outstanding administrators in the South Bend adminis- <br />tration, and I know first -hand he will be missed very deeply. <br />When the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the <br />Rand Corporation expressed that they.would like to interview <br />Chuck if I gave my permission, the first thing I said to them- - <br />if you interview him, you will hire him. He is the best man <br />to interview. <br />I will miss Chuck more than any other man in the community- - <br />he served the cabinet and the people in the South Bend com- <br />munity without question. He and I have had such a close <br />relationship, as Chuck has and Fred has. <br />The Housing Allowance Program is the most important program <br />that ever came into this community. It expends $170 million <br />potential dollars to be spent in this community without one <br />dollar of in -kind contribution as far as local government is <br />concerned. He is responsible to see that it is successful. <br />Housing programs all over the nation have been unsuccessful, <br />and I know that this program will be successful because of <br />Chuck Lennon. <br />ES F. LENNON. JR. <br />I have appreciated the opportunity to work with each of you- - <br />with the Mayor and his cabinet - -this department, and working <br />with my staff. You have people of the professional caliber <br />of Kent Wilcox and others who are in this department who can <br />keep it functioning while you search for a replacement for <br />myself. <br />I will be here in the city and I am offering my services in <br />any way possible to you, and I appreciate the kind compliments <br />you have said. <br />My family and I love this community and plan to stay here the <br />rest of our lives. It is a great place to live and raise a <br />family. <br />Thank you all again very much. I am a better person for <br />knowing each of you. <br />AYOR JERRY J.'MILLER'(To President Fred J. Helmen): <br />I think Fred.Helmen has already been presented a key to some <br />of the banks! I know how sentimental he is. <br />
