The Honorable William G. Milliken GQvernor of the State of Building Lansing, Michigan Dear Governor Mill iken: The Office of Criminal Justice Pro.grams submits'the following report of its activities for fiscal year 1973. In addition to the material recapitu­ lating past activity a brief section describing our objectives for fiscal year 1974 has been added. Next yearls report will assess our s~ccess in achieving these objectives and describe our objectives for fiscal year 1975. As you know, Michigan experienced a reduction in in calendar 1972, its first such reduction in many years. I believe the efforts of this Office contributed significantly to that reduction. We are hopeful that 1973 will have similar results. Shortly after the end of fiscal year 1973, the Crime Control Act was extended for three years. This means that the support from the federal government for planning and action to reduce crime will be available for at least that additional period. Again,·, bel ieve that the performance in Michigan contributed significantly to the Congressional decision to continue the block grant crime control program. Our next report will be delivered in the fall of 1974. S~y, )/J Jlfi~e- Don P. LeDuc Administrator
