I think we're very fortunate in having Dr Love and. The chairman of the city Dr against poverty he brings to that council I deal of the day and knowledge in this field and. Have as the vice chairman of the committee. Present a council POSCO veining with has been deeply interested in this. Mendus job and organizing the drive so far and I think this will give great impetus to the program and get the whole program underway as rapidly as possible how long are these appointments for Mr Merrick well and out of a set time I believe the program it will go on for a good many years throughout this country are the appointments at the pleasure of the mayor well we didn't even discuss that I'm sure that I'd always be pleased with the work of both Dr Love and then that it's just conveyed. This. Billions of people how well that I don't know had been in touch with Congressman Paul I understand that Mr Scott Van yesterday attempted to contact the congressman around the committee looking at Congressman Powell was unable to do so if you think that he's satisfied that the floor. Well I will have good representation I believe about sixteen of the members of the council will that come from the so-called of poor Mr Mayor there was. A good will come from. The pool when. They fired that's concerned as soon as the community centers are set up but then we have to wait for the. Day of we will have on the on the council just as soon as possible sixteen people representing. Yes so called indigenous for two almost immediately and most of my from where you were at the mobilization center to one and then eventually the additional fourteen. State would have accepted that you had said that you already know that the structure of this council is representative of the has. Told you that the floor is and. Now I think the biggest factor that. This. Does provide for some significant representation of the so-called target relations. I think that being organised I am. Actually. Acts that I've come to this council. In that. Program. A lot of that on the. Problems of the floor. Must be. Funded by government sources but must be. A matter. From the boy if they are true that. Resolving many of the problems with. This I think is a major step in the right direction but I certainly don't think this is the ultimate. For you we have we have to question this miracle card necessary here in the home with fairly other. Reasons why don't we appreciate you. Really would appreciate really the most troubling. Was the camera doing the cameras cover a lot just to get my editor. Over OK but. Son Phil Larry I want you to know what you just said you're dead meat if you are going. To I can find another said you know what like usually. I'm just a second where oh where just about I didn't want to ask a question. And I get in just a couple ways. You know it's. Not. Mr Marriott was some reference made a few minutes ago to a Mr Roberts who is the staff director for the New World War on Poverty is the is the new body the new council that you appointed last night that you named last night going to be free to choose its own staff yes of snow as you can have a whole new staff of one like the secretary that it's going to have a secretary will be a small staff to act as liaison with the various committees of the council also to take care of the preparation of agenda also for the normal administrative function he would have of a committee of this size we're calling the secretary of not a new staff what will happen to the people who've been serving with you up to now because they will become the staff of the subsidiary cooperation under the council what is the Action Group that's the action are much right but what if the new council the top body wanted to completely read new and refer to the staff would they be in a position to do that this is their prerogative sure they can do anything and there I have kind of a country where the bosses. Were you thinking. OK to give us anything coming. And I don't think we. Have I need a couple questions can you let me get a couple in on time but you. Raise a set of your jurisdictional the streets as fast as possible I think Mr Logan not to look at the I talked to after this is all around to get the mayor down on something all right hoarsely. Do you think that you're going to get. Reelected if you're John Dean. Well as I said before I've busy with a lot of the problems of the city such as the one we've just been discussing the war on poverty and we have a lot of work to do here as mayor and I frankly don't spend of the deal of my time worrying about politics as a very expert politician what would you think would be the reason for his sudden change of heart his decision to come into this campaign against you I have no idea I have not had any discussion with him I'm not in the councils of the Republican Party I say is that. It's interesting to note how. Just before an election the Republican Party takes some interest in the affairs of the city of either some Republicans you'd rather face than Mr Lindsey. First of all I haven't the choice and it wouldn't mean much difference one way or the other you know that you know. How can I do it again when I I don't know. One can only find out those things in the course of a can do you think it's going to be a name or election this time a. Lot of actions a person you think you think the only thing elections for the legislature have anything to do with Republicans running a strong candidate. Might be again. I suppose they want to get a strong candidate to help in the in the legislative elections as well Mr Kerry a lot of the recent poll taken showing you losing popularity had anything to do with Lindsay's possible decision I say I have not been involved in has any discussions with him or with any of his associates even in the middle of the candidacy is going to make it more difficult to retain control of the state legislature. By the Democrats. I don't I don't think that they'll have much to do with do you think that the defeat of the. Bill in any way. Thank you your person Christy at the elections coming up. Well I never take these things as I don't know whether they affect me personally and I was disappointed because they were doing is voting against the desires of the people of the city of New York and the people here overwhelmingly approved a referendum by referendum the off track betting as a means of. Things where raising revenue and also. Doing away with what happens now with us so much money going to into the hands of the underworld which should be used for legitimate purposes I do hope that the state legislators will reconsider their position and realize that this is a bill only affecting the city of New York and that they should give a great deal of weight to the wishes of the people of the city Mr workaround he said you money while you were out of town this week Mr Bean shows that data strongly criticized any plans to borrow two hundred fifty million dollars to meet current fiscal needs to be dominant at a time well out of control a beam has said so taken that position for some time in discussions we've had and he did call made to tell me that he was going to make that statement when he said he wanted it and that's when he charges when the first responsibility what do you answer back to him. The city is in good financial shape and I've been here now going on twelve years but he says the borrowing would be fiscally irresponsible of the what you say everybody has said and and entitle to their own opinion I'm not going to comment on any of these programs that have been discussed as to how to raise additional revenue until tomorrow when I will come out with my proposed budget and my recommendation to do I mean that in Korea that borrowing is kinda. On increasing the property taxes and. Well let's not get into the details of this until tomorrow when we'll have the opportunity at great length to ways to go into my proposal with you tomorrow detail the kind of taxes you expect to get and want or will there be alternatives stated in this budget I will state my preference but you also have to be all turned out to always be alternatives suggested by a lot of other people because actually in any of these taxes you have to go to the state legislature and for approval Mr Mayor the supreme the federal court yesterday. Said i'm when he said that a special election has to be one of the Republican way and. I am going to be a party to any attempt. To make the reapportionment Bill. And the stuff. Mr Mann. Senator Zaretsky said he was one of pushed every appointment bill for a woman you think that idea. Well I haven't had an opportunity to read in detail the end of the opinion of the three judges in the federal court and when I have that opportunity which I hope to do in the next day or so I think led to comment in detail on. What action in the legislature takes is entirely up to the legislate members of the legislature Mr Mayor what about the dark stripe what is going forward in that respect in the ferry and the ferry I beg your pardon the ferry boat right now only just a short while ago had a meeting with the president of Richmond president of Skalkaho and his staff just toss aside cheap mediator drug Brady of the transit authority and commission a brown ring in every nation and his sister. Since we. First of all work to try to get services back as normal as possible in the meantime as searching to find a solution so that we can resolve the From where does the sheaf of man and labor fit in this to meet as he ever appear in this picture well with talk to some of his representatives and to. Help and for and try to find a solution. Thinking one of the big issues he's blocking. And I haven't even thought of any contest with Mr Lindsey or anybody else and that we have a lot of work to win that's the record of that. Of an administration that look out. The door you want to be with me you'll be able to give me. A good not only on your homework. First.
