I be I ieve the Bu leau should
plan to work with D is tric t
Planning Organizations, once
they are recognized by the
city. Such organizations (o r
th e ir neighborhood-level con­
stituents) would be consulted
ibout all program proposals in
th e ir neighborhoods.
I suggest that there be 18
members on the ivatxi, five
selected by the Mayo , one
selected by the C har man of
the Board of County Commis­
sioners, and (waive repre­
sentatives of Portland neigh-
burhoods as follows:

designate
all three from
Southeast and one from the
Model
neighborhood).
A ll
other representatives would
lv appoint©! on the recom­
mendations of existing com­
munity groups in the area.
As soon as a DPO, with
bouixiaries including one of
these areas, is o fficia lly re­
cognized by the c ity , it would
have the right to displace the
incumbent representing that
area ami designate ns own

What can
-6,318 Black Oregonians do
against nearly two m illio n
Oregonians?
fvL KL ML : The key once again
is organization.
Blacks in
geles, San Diego, etc., have
the
same
problems that
Blacks
in Oregon
have.
Therefore, the 2b,3ls Blacks
must organize and use what­
ever resources they have.
Even though there may be
certain battles that they can
not win. However, there are
many that can be won.
INTERVIEWER: Is it humanly
possible to get all Black o r­
ganizations to agreeooevery­
SI Kl Ml : No, I believe the
w ill not. It is necessary fo r
the psychological well being
ot the organizations to win
small battles because it w ill

are
being
made.
