city" providing all costs of housing, community services and
diversified industries for employment opportunities and an
economic base.

b. Columbia is sponsored solely by private enterprise but few
industries have the resources or right to risk capital in such
an extensive venture.

c. Thus, all levels of government should subsidize in part the
foundation of satellite cities in much the same way our urban
renewal projects are now financed.

d. Government can buy the land, provide zoning, grading,
clearing, roads, sewers and power lines.

e. Then turn it over to private developers at a cost offering
incentives to guarantee the inclusion of modest income housing,
f. Satellite cities not only relieve impaction, they break up the
hard-core concentration of the less fortunate and actually pro-
vide remedial and rehabilitative solutions by assimilating within
rather than isolating the culturally deprived from the main-
stream of community life.

F. Unemployment and underemployment is another massive root
problem associated with impaction.

1. Here solution lies in the transfer of responsibility for welfare
programs to the Federal government alone.

2. Only with Federal controls establishing uniform standards and
benefits which will extend from Watts to Harlem — from the
Mississippi Delta to Detroit — will the flow of untrained and
impoverished to the cities stop.

3. The machinery and example to administer such a program al-
ready exists in the National Social Security Administration.

4. Once we can stabilize our impoverished population we can
initiate meaningful programs at the local level, related to local
employment opportunities and manpower needs.

5. Present Federal programs merit reevaluation and redesign.

a. A plethora of Federal programs are sponsored without

evaluation or coordination, and most deplorable of all without

any attempt to assure continuity.

b. The Federal government has widely scattered seed money

and after a year or two withdrawn or curtailed support, leaving

the city with its extremely limited resources to foot the bill.

c. The city is forced to cut off programs, raise already high

taxes or appeal to the state for aid.
