Office Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO Special Assistant to Chief, Geographic Research DATE: 11 June 19.8
FROM : Acting Chief, Geography Division
SUBJECT : Urban Area Program
Attachment A is a list of urban area studies and related
studies and town plans worked on by the Geography Division.
No studies are listed as having been turned. down. It should be
recalled, however, that in early 1955 DD/P requested us to pre-
pare urban area studies at the rate of 50 a year. Fulfillr~ment
of the request was predicated upon an increase of personnel_ for
the Geographic Area and the subcontracting of some of the work.
Those plans fell through. The DD/P requirement was eventually
reduced to approximately 10 per year. '(See Attachment B.) Due
to other demands on the Division, it has not been possible to
fulfill even this reduced request. Changing DD/P targets and
personnel also cause changes in programming of urban area studies
from time to time. Recent conversations with FI personnel never-
theless indicate a continuing interest in the urban area program.
