I call this to you attention and would hope that the St. Paul City Council would also pass such a Resolution requesting that the National Model Cities Budget be retained at the present level so that the programs that have been implemented and the plans that are still on the drawing boards, which many cities and residents of the Target Areas think will help "improve the quality of life", may not be aborted.

Marshall City Clerk and Commissioner of Registration Office of the City Clerk 386 City Hall St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Mr. Marshall : Thank you very much for your recent letter regarding the President's proposed budget. During his Inaugural address President Nixon told us : "We have the chance today to do more than ever before in our history to make life better in America -- to ensure better education, better health, better housing, better transportation, a cleaner environment." Yet the Administration's budget slashes our national commitment to meeting each of these urgent domestic needs and other programs to strengthen rural communities and preserve the family farm. I will work hard in coming weeks to maintain our commitments to a better life here at home. The Congress must review our domestic programs -- to reform those which are weak or ineffective, to trim waste, and to consider new initiatives. Again, I deeply appreciate your writing. We will need the active concern and support of the American public if we are to remain not only a powerful nation, but a just and humane nation as well. With warm regards , Sincerely, r`'' � V tJ�.
