raised questions on the Northeast and Southeast Project PROJECTS
fundin .
Mr. Ba be advised approval has been received for the
first ear's cost of the Northeast Project, which had
been stibmitted to HUD in November, 1969. The HUD office,
after my 1, will no longer fund Survey .and .Planning
applications and has suggested that we.apply for incre-

planned for the area. This might be accomplished through
cooperation with Model Cities. Mr. Barbe explained the
