... and to the Hungry " .. .,, Senator Humphrey has ~~EMt.,a moral challenge to well-fed-and frequently over-fed-Americans with his recent call for generous Uflit~ States contributions to a broad new world food action program. Respondi~ thTthre~f. widespread starvation that has been sharply increased by worldwide shortages and soaring prices of basic commodities; the Senator pro poses: Resumption .of large-scale food aid by the United States and other· food~exporting nations; establishment of national and international food reser"Ves; expansion of fertilizer distribution and production, and stepped up aid to agricultural development, including the pending contribution to I.D.A; '!• . ··' · · · · Although Mr. Humphrey's plan for action merely elaborates on promises already advanced by Secretary of State Kissinger at the recent special United Nations session, it faces stiff resistance within the Nixon Admin- .i istration and from a people who have just begun to see some hope for relief fro~, soaring food prices. The day is gone when Americans had food to bum, when overseas aid was a.convenient way ·tQ unload. embarrassing sur· pluses. Even with record harvests due, a new giveaway , program on the scale contemplated by the Senator would . put fresh pressure on· domestic prices and would compete with potential cash sales to more affluent foreign buyers. There will be those who will s.eek refuge from respon sibility in the heartless suggestfon ·of Agriculture Secre tary Earl t·. ·Butz that "hunger is relativ~if your· larder is empty, you cut back some."

Washington
1; The noncandidacy . of Hubert H. Humphrey is achieving boomlet proportions: I • Soundings by The Christian Science Monitor in all regions of the )united States show growing interest in Senator Humphrey as the "presidential candidate next year. I • A CBS poll of the 361-member Democratic National Committee shows that 60 percent think Senator Humphrey will get the nomination. • Now Gov. Wendell R. Anderson of Minnesota; a former Humphrey campaign manager and a particularly close political associate of the _Senator, says that "if Humphrey maintains his momentum, I will have to urge him to get into the primaries." . j Did Mr. Anderson speak for Senator Humphrey? He wouldn'fadmit to that. But he told a breakfast meeting with reporters: "I think it ·.would be his [Humphrey's] hope and prayer" that he would. ! · Many elected leaders are saying,. privately, that there is no one among the 10 or so declared or soon-to-declare candidates who is likely .to either< 1 l unify the party or (2) be able to beat President Ford. · And, therefore, Mr. Humphrey is becoming the first choice of a majority of these leaders. Further, many who have another first choice are saying that if their man can't make it, they would like to have Mr. Humphrey as the nominee. Governor Anderson says that "pos&bly one of the other Democrats could beat Ford. But it would be much more risky than having Humphrey as the nominee!' · · Senator Humphrey told this same group of reporters earlier that he was adamarit against entering any of the presidential primaries next year- although he said he was quite willing to take the nomination if it came to him at the convention. . The Senator says that he is physically fit and that he is better prepared to be President than at any other time in his life. But he says he cannot even be cajoled or pushed into the primaries. However, a scenario is now hinted where the point is reached Mr. By Robert McCormick ijumphrey may have to say something like this: "I didn't want to get into the primaries. And I still don't. But I have so many peQple who are Humphrey - emerging choice of party leaders ~rging me to do so and who say the party can't win without me that J've finally given in to this appeal." the nomination without going into some primaries. He is convinced ··Governor Anderson would like Mr. Humphrey to enter a few select that, "with 80 percent of the delegates being chosen in the primaries" primaries like California, Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania. the nominee will be one of those who has tested his popularity in these ''· ...... ~- :~-Mr. HUrn.phrey's st·ated position is rath~~ Running in Place straightfo:11Wanl and !is taken at iface value by most polrtic'ians here.

For 15 minutes the Humphrey ten· dency to talk like a Sten gun was held in precarious check.

By Curtis Wilkie Globe Staff MANCHESTER, N.H. - The underfinanced and unauthorized campaign to promote Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey as a write-in candidate in the New Hamp shire primary is trying to attract the undecided voter. Despite intensive campaigning and expenditures by five declared candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, their campaign managers in the state ac knowledge this week that the biggest bloc of votes was still undecided. In fact, some of the managers placed the undecided factor as high as 50 percent, with only two weeks before the primary. "The question is whether we can reach the unde cided," said Robert B. Shaine, the Manchester consul tant who is in charge of a "Draft Humphrey "Commit- tee" in the state. · tant who is in charge of a "Draft Humphrey Commit series of radio commercials today. The commercials are following up on newspaper advertisements placed in the state last week "to let peo ple know we're alive," Shaine said. "We're going after the undecideds and latent Hum phrey vote," he said. A Globe poll this week indicated that Humphrey was better known than the actual con testants here and enjoyed a 60 percent favorable rating. This year a slate of delegates committed to Hum phrey has drawn the top spot on the ballot-the most advantageous-although Humphrey partisans will still be forced to write in his name. · Humphrey has publicly disavowed any connection with the operation here, but Shane said that he is in contact regularly with Rep'. Paul Simon of Illinois, who is trying to put together a national campaign to get Humphrey into the race. The campaign has raised only $2100 so far,.Sh11-ine said, and has spent almost all of it. · · ~-A . THE MIAMI HERALD Monday, January 26, 1976 _____ lls Campaign Win S~gnificant, f .

Right to Vote for 18 year olds Peace Corps Head Start SPECIFIC PROPOSALS 1. Federal Financing of Education The Federal government nrust expand its education effort many times fold. The Federal government should pay at least 1/3 of the total cost of public elementary and secondary education. We can create an education trust flllld into which this money wciuid be paid and then allocated to the States on the basis of educational need. At the same time, we can provide incentive funds if local areas place a ceiling on the growth of the property tax and rebate that part of the property tax utilized for educational funding. Finally the funding from the Federal government for educational purposes might be contingent upon other goals such as first, a more equitable method of raising revenue within the state; second, giving the states wide latitude to achieve some equity in their revenue pro ducing mechanisms; and third, a mor~ equitable method of distributing public revenues for public education. 2. Equal Opportunity for Women The number one priority in the struggle'to secure full equality of opportunity for .American women is the creation of professional day care ._and child development centers. Comprehensive day care services are critically needed not only for children of the poor, but also for millions of other children in middle income families where both parents work or where the mother is the head of the household and provides for the family's complete support. I Page 2 Currently 4-1/2 million women with children below the age of.6 years are in the work force of the U.S. Yet there are less than 700 ;000 licensed day care opportunities available. 3. National Economic Policy Our Country needs a ''National Economic Policy" - not .a ''New Economic Policy.". We need a policy of reducing unemployment, reducing inflation, and increasing conslDiler confidence. · 'There are things we could do. We could honestly camnit ourselves to the 1946 goal of full employment~ The central wealmess of the Nixon economic game plan is the failure to attack the problems of unemployment and low fann income. 'The two are related - one out of every five jobs is .akin to agrimlture purchasing power. The lagging economy provides no new jobs. · The work force increases, but the job market fails to keep pace. There can be no economic recovery while unemployment of 6% or more continues. But we do not have the programs or policies that will lead to full employment. And we are not going to get·them under an administration that refuses to invest in people, that refuses-· to utilize its resources for people-oriented prograins, and that refuses to strive for balanced economic growth. 4.

Drug Abuse (con't) the victims of dnig abuse. It recognizes the critical need for a high-level authority to accomplish the full implementation and total coordination of Federal agency programs which can effect the control of drug abuse. · I feel that it is important that those responsible for administering Federal dnig abuse control programs and those having expertise in all areas td be c6rnbined in an offensive against dnig abuse and narcotic addiction must be brought together in advisory, strategy planning, and program-monitoring councils tied in with the Federal dnig abuse control action authority. The Central tnith is that effective control has suffered from fragmentation of authority. The Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, L.E.A.A., H.E.W.; the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Department of Defense all - have responsibilities in· the narcotics field, but they have lacked coordination.

Any questions re- ge,rding ar.:cu.racy should be re ferred to ISSUES AND AN"S\1ERS ,,. 2 I-m. CL.ARl<: Senator, welcome back to ISSUES AND ANSWERS., You apparently haven't convinced Jimmy Carter yet that you are really out of the presidential race. He impli.E>C: t.his week that. Jerry Brown is a stalki"lg horse for you in U:e !iaryland primary and said it is obvious y-m '\.1ould still like to be President. Is he right on either count? SENA'l'OR HUMPHREY: Well, there are several countr; there. First, rr~ay I welcome you to Minnesota. You are out in a very beautiful state and it is a beautiful day. Now, in referenc€~ to your q\..1estion: !•lr. Brown, Gover!'lor Brown, is a stalking horse for no one. This .is a very active young man that is the chief executive of the largest state; he has tremendous resources in his state; he has great problems. He has been doing a good job as governor of that state. He has a national career ahead of him and he is a real candidate for President& As you know, I am a very close friend of his parents. I have k11own Governor Brown, J"erry Brown v as we call him, personally for some time. He came to Washington. He. called ma~ wanted to see me, asked me to come over and have a cup of coffee 'l.•ii th him. I did so. I am 9lad you all took my picture. No, he is no stalking horse. Now, as to my own role, it l.s very much the 8ame as it ha::> been. I said I would not enter primaries and I kept my wo:rd. I have also said that if my party should, in con·Jent:Lon, •, , • 3 want me, or need me, or ask me to be the :nom.in,~e, that I would readily accept; I would seize that nomination and I would 90 out and do my level best to win and I believe I could win for the Democratic party, so I am not out any more than I ever was and I am not in more than I was. What I am, if the people need :me, if the people want :me, if the party delegates want me, Hubert Humphrey will be then~. MJL CLARK: You appear to give the impression yon do not .agree with those who think. .Mr. Carter has the nomination locked up. SEN.<'!'OR HUMPHREY~ No, Bob' I don It think he has :l. t locked up, but in all candor v of course, he has grt~at momentum and he is leading and you know that makes you happy. You can't help feel good about that. if you are in hi::: position but, as I recollect, there are still 16 or 17 primaries yet to go; the:r:e are a number of state conventions where delegates have to be selected as a result of caucuses. There are well over a thousand delegates yet to be chosen and besides th.at you have Frank Church_, Senator Church~ who is actively c~ampaigning down in nebraska and is doing '.a record good job, has a good , / in agriculture and labor for senior f o:ireign c.i tizens, / , policy, is an articulate spokesman. You have i'1o tida11 who has been hanging in there~ You hav0. to c(drnire Congressman Udall for his tenacity. He is up there working his heart out in Michigan. Has ;:\ f: ine labor record, you , , 4 know, and has a splendid record :i.n the field of consi:=.:rvo.tion and resource development and hmnan rights, and then you have Scoop Jackson. By the way v I see tha.t Henry Jackson is back uo in Connecticut campais-ning again. So this thing isn~t all over and there are several hundred uncommitted delegates. I know that Mr. Carter and his strategists ·would liJ.;:e to get a. band wagon rolling and I don't blarn•~ them a bit. l\3 a - matter of fact, if they can work it out that way Jw. -c. shows a good deal of political savvy. But, let's face it, there are still candidates in the field. Mr. Carter ha.s about 550 or 575 delegates. It takes 1505 to get the nomination. r.rn. DONALDSON: Well, Senator, excuse me. That sounds a little b:Lt like wl-.ist:~ing :i.n the C.ark! does it not? Who will sto9 ,T:i.mrny Carter? Will it be Prank Church? Where will he win? Will no UdaJ_l win in Michigan? Do you reall6 th.ink that is in the cards? SEUA'I'OR HUMPHREY: !:.iir. Donaldson, friend Samp let me say, I don J t. like this business, •;who will stop." I have heard so much about "who wi.11 stop." ·rhe real truth is ther0 is still a scran1ble on for thesa delegates. When somebody comes in there whs:"e they have got 1100, 1200 or 1, 000 to 1200 de.tegates, then you can talk about whe::tl~er somebody is going to stop them. 5 But r.·,hen you arc -?.i: the levels hare \-;here you. have onJ.y a th.ird of the number of delegates really required to get the nomin.~ticL!., it. is rea:tly u.nfair to othe!:"s to -ta.11:: abou+: th~3m trying to stor:- somebody. Some of these candidates Like r·~r. UdaU. and others feel the~! have a. shot ::l.t it.. The deleqat.es at convf~nt iori are going to ma.ke the choice. You know, the purpose of the primaries -- let 1 s >::;et that straight: the public hasn't quite tmderstcod the purpose of the primaries. The purpose of the prima.ries is exactly like a congressional election. You elect a representative to make choices for you and decisions for the people at convention. It is the delegates who are going to select the presidential nominee and. many of those. r-m. DONALDSON: But Mr, .~·a:it.e.r hac all these deleg-ates. SENATOR HUMPHREY: Mr oCari:m has 500 and somE-:; delegateG. It takes 1500 and some. But Mr. ,:;ackson and r~r. :Jdall put toget.her with a few of the unco!umi t.ted have as many 1 may I say, as Mr. Cartero MR. DONALDSON: Aren 1 t they· rea.lly iead ducks".? SENATOR HUMPHREY: No 1 th1o~y are not c~ad ducks ::md I th.ink that is unfair to them. Plus the fact -- ;.m. DONl~I.DSON: I am not: trying to be unfair; I am tryinq to be real:i.st.ic. . < 6 SENATOR Hl:.ihPHREY: Let me put i.t this way: You are beJng statistically accurate, but you are not being reaJ.istic in terms of the psy.:::hology of politics. If Jerry Brown defeats Mr. Carter in Maryland, even though he doesn't have a delegate, I will bet you that you will see it in every newspaper in the United States and you men in the media will suddenly have discovered an entirely new, brL!.. liant political force in American public life and ~?OU knew it. and I know it. Now,., let's level with each other • Now, i.f he comes out and does the same thing I understand that Jerry Brown may be going up to ~·ew Jersey. If he is going up to New .Jersey, let's say up there he produces some results. Then, when you go to that convention those delegates are going to be looking at each and every ont:~. That is what it is all about. Most of the delegate.;:; that are pledged thus far are for one ballot. You know that. The primaries do not lock delegates in for the entire convention. One ballot r two ballots.. That is all. • 7 MHo CLARK: Senator, if one of ·these eventua!.ities is comes to passv if C~rt:er/tripped up somewhere, whether it is by ."ferry Bro'h'Il in Maryland, or it would be a longer shot 11 but by Mo Udall in Michigan, is there a point at whi~h you might emerge after the prima.x.·ies, reemerge as an acti v-= candidate? SENATOR HUMPHRBY: My position is exai::tly as has been stated,, and I think it wa.s on this same ISSUES AND .~NSWERS program that I said t.h.e following, that after the pY.'imaries were over -~ that is after June 13 -- I said then I would assess the situation, I would take a good loo!{ at the realities, and if it a.ppeared at t...ti.at time that no on€ had really what I consider to be the kind of a corr::manding lead 'that within it.uelf b:;,,,--ought the necessity of seeing that the nomination was completed on thE~ first ballot or the second ballot, that I would then assess the si tun.ti.on and make my decision as to what I want to doQ r am 'not sure what that decision would beo. I arr. not interested in going out running for the Presidency unless somebody wants me to do so,. I a."l.1 happy to tell you. tha.t when I look ai: the polls; even after I have been doing less than nothing, l see that we still are able to def.:at President Fordg I see that in a head-on, head-on, "'lit.I:: Carter-Humphrey~ I have a higher percentage amongst Democrats. You know; I am very much dive" Let~ s put it. that •·xay, NRo CLARK: Well, Senator, t.hinking ahead again to, per.haps, the week af:ter the primaries are over, the waek after the California-New Jersey primaries, if at. that point you do not feel Jiromy Carter has the norr..ination se;-.ied up, could you make an active effoz:·t to start rounding u.p d~le Olllll gates on your,,t-ehalf? SENA'rOR HU?-'IPHro;y: Yes o I couldQ I would..n 1 t say that I would at this time, but I s~1rely coulcL One of the pu:r.·~ poses cf the assessrnent might. be to do that.Q .HR~ DON.A.LOSON: What figure would you place on the nwnber of delegates Mr" Carter would have at that time that: would lead you to believe he didn't have it locked up? SENATOR HUMPHP.EY: Well, M!.·., Dona.ldson, I do:n 't: know what he will have. As I said in the be~1·inning -- let me repeat it. MR, DONALDSON: I think at one time you said 1160 was the magic numherc SENJ\.TOR HUMPHPJ!:Y: Let me once again say much depends upon \.;that is the at.titude •. what is the psychology at the time, the kind cf momentum that he has,and the odes are, as I have said, that Mro Carter has got a good deeil of advantage and maybe will continue to have that advant2,ge. Surely at this point he has that advantage, and he ought to be very proud of it~ But when a person coma.;; to that, if a person com.es to that convention letes say wi~.. :i1 3 9 1100 votes or 120() votes, I really think that pe::rson is going to get that nomination~ and I surely would helve no hand in tryi.ng to stop it~ believe me I wouldn 8 to I want my par.ty to win. I wan.t to be a healer in my pa:;~ty, but I do no~: want someone to feel that just because they are a frontrunner that they own the party. Some of uE ha·\re wcn::kad a lonq time in this party, and I believe that my other friends that I ha"'1e mentioned here all have a right. to aspire to that nomination 0 and they are going to have son'.s·~ thing to say about what happenso Let me tell you, Mre Udall and Mr,, J·ackson ar.m going to have something to say about ·what happens at that conven.-- tion.. ':'hey have got some delegateso And there a.re some party leaders that are heads of uncommitted delE!gations that are going to have something to say about wbat~s going to happen thereo MRo CI..ARK: Senator~ we want to talk some more politics d:~ver!!e later .with you in tbe program~ but. we 't·1ant to . i ~ '"briefly.

Wicker then quotes Humphrey to say, "None of these fellows who' re running has taken hold yet":; "but by April, early May, - somebody will have done well enough in the primaries for attention to begin to center on him and he'll go up in the polls and begin to take hold."

Right to Vote for rn·year olds Peace Corps Head Start SPECIFIC PROPOSALS 1. Federal Financing of Education The Federal government must expand its education effort many times fold.· The Federal government should pay at least 1/3 of t.be total cost of public elementary and secondary education. We can create an education trust ftmd into which· this money would be paid and then allocated to the States on the basis of . educational need. · · At the same time, we can provide. incentive ftm.ds if local areas pla~ ·a ceiling on the growth of the property tax and rebate that part of the property tax utilized for educational funding. Finally the ftmding from the Federal government for educational purposes might be contingent upon other goals such as first, a more equitable method of raisipg revenue within the state; second, giving the states wide latitude to achieve some equity in their revenue pro ducing mechanisms; and third, a more equitable method of distributing public revenues for public educati 2. Egual Opportunity for Women The nlDllber one priority in the s~ggle to secure full equality of opportunity for .American wanen is the creation of professional day care and child development centers. · ' Canprehensive day care services are critically needed not <>nly for I~ children of the poor~ but also for millions of other children in middle income families where both parents ·work or where the mother is the head of the household and provides for the fanily's complete support. .. Page 2 . Currently 4-1/2 million women with children below the age of 6 years are in the work force of the U.S. · Yet there are less than 700 ,000 licensed day care opportunities available. 3. National Econcmic Policy Our Country needs a ''National Economic Policy" - not a "New Economic Policy." We need a policy of reducing unemployment, reducing ·inflation, and increasing conSlDller confidence. There are things we could do. We could honestly carnnit ourselves to the 1946 goal of full employment. The central. weakness of the Nixon economic game plan is the failure to attack the problems of unemployment and low f ann income. The two are related - one out of every five jobs is akin to agrirulture purchasing power. The lagging economy provides no new jobs. The work force increases, but the job market fails to keep pace. There can be no econanic recovery while tmemployment of 6% or more cont_inues. But we do not have the programs or policies that will lead to full employment. And we are not going to get them under an administration that refuses · to invest in people, that refuses to utilize its resources for people-oriented programs, and that refuses to strive for balanced economic growth. 4.

Humphrey United States Senator Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Humphrey: In a measure of identity, attached are copies of biographic sketches, among others, all of which are of no great import. But that I, too, am a product of tlie drugstore, with barber shop next door, is significant. My mother was the first woman registered pharmacist in North Carolina. My father was a cartographer and both turned to pharmacy in the 1880 1 s when his eyes went bad. I was, indeed, glad to hear that you will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1976. That information was conveyed by my daughter, Martha Anne Kyser, who called your office in Minneapolis. She appreciated your personal not!.? immensely. Enclosed is a copy of preface and outline of proposals for recovery from the depression in California. The entire program was worked,out in a few months shortly before Lend-Lease and subsequently World War II. However, the initial organization was completed and was favorably accepted by the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, Chambers of Commerce, Farm and Labor Groups, Educators, other interested groups and the Press. The Press notice was exceedingly long and enthusiastic. The war came and everybody went haywire. It would seem that our problems are the same, multiplied, .with the energy situations added. I was impressed by a statement of Byrnes recently, in a discussion of the F.D.R. years by Byrnes, Farley and F.D.R., Jr. They were recalling Roosevelt's ability to innovate; that we are still using New Deal methods and nothing much has evolved since. I think you will agree that there is greater dislocation presently and that we can't support the current in flated cost of unemployment and welfare, especially with little hope of resolution. We will need a wider and more thorough agricultural and indus trial basis. The old cliches and stand-patisms offer little to get en thusiastic about. We should make an all~out effort to develop our potential. The census indicates movement from the cities--it gives no reasons; there are many. We should be concerned with the qual "ity of 1ife as well as the development of self-sufficiency--we should no longer rely on Detroit and . the multi-national and international conglomerates. A few years ago the Chairman of the Board of an International Multiple Conglomerate told their employees tha.t ten or twelve corporations would ultimately control the 1 Honorable Hubert H. Humphrey July 9, 1975 entire ball of wax. I heard you were a bit shook up by the picture 11 "Rollerball • And, J know you are even more concerned over our agri culture. Food for Peace, for barter, even for blackmail. It is more stable than the exchange, if we've got it. The eating habits of America are more sophisticated now, which allows a greater opportunity for appropriating foreign crops, adaptable to our soil; We have half-a-million acres planted to safflower. It caught on. We can't have too much oil seed crops. In cluded is a clipping of the jojoba plant and its potential (May 15, 1975). In World War I, I did work on the utilization of the common pest weed, cockleburr. It's a thistle and oil bearing. There is too much involved ·here for more than a cursory mention. The use of farm produce for industrial utilization has roots in Medieval Europe, especially during the Hanseatic League and Napoleon's Edicts. The relatively modern usage was coined by Dr. Wm. J. Hale, that is Farm Chemurgy. It came into being when Henry Ford was interested in auto parts made from soya beans. That was during the period of the Edison-Ford-Firestone confabs. Francis P. Garvin, World War I Custodian of Enemy Properties, in a codicil to his will, set up funds for a Chemurgic program but died without signing. So did the movement, until introduced here. Prior to that, a process for· obtaining Furfural from corncobs was demonstrated at Iowa State. That would make autos jump. In fact, there are many additives available in farm derived chemicals. The word is not commonly known. It is an attention getter. I'd have to assume that the worfci'plan can be used since Nixon shook hands with 1 em; perhaps not five years or any definite number. This program concerns itself with land use in its diversity of crops, groundwater level, tree farming, orchards, energy-sensitive industry, ravages of nature, etc . . The Anny Engineers have recently stated flood control has not been a good job. Working on low grade ores is another phase. You have your think tank available. So we have more than fibers, plastics and high protein foods involved. · The development of a high protein edible cotton has been announced recently. Terry Sanford's pitch to take on Wallace is a useless gesture. The right programs in his areas of discontent will suffice. A man from the South should be good politics. The Industrial Institute at the University level is advantageous to the institution, graduate students and business, especfally small business. Joe Doaks can get his R & D or other essential information. Ultimately there will have to be accredited schools for the new technology, as criteria for performance and the dignity of the Vocational Arts Special ists, perhaps like the early Land Grant schools. In conclusion, may I suggest that foreign dignitaries be welcomed by a com mittee of our best, representing our citizenry. Quakers, or even flower 2 Honorable Hubert H.,Humphrey · July 9, 1975 children are more appropriate than the guns and brass.

I spent the month of August in Minnesota and fully intended to catch up on all of my correspondence, but I found I was busier than ever with meetings and appointments, traveling around the state, and doing my best with the time that was available to be a-husband and father. I appreciate your enthusiasm and offer to help, but I do not plan to enter any of the presidential primaries or to campaign for the presidency. My plans for 1976 are to run for re-election to the Senate and I am proceeding to get things underway in Minne sota for that campaign. I will, however, continue to speak out on the is sues that face our country and all of our people and seek to become an ever more effective member of the Senate. I appreciate having your views on a number of these issues. I won•t be able right now to respond to each of the points you raised, as I would like to, but I have read your letter carefully and will be referring back to it. It is interesting and informative.

Humphrey Chairman : (21 iR) :ZS:J ··-{) q d..D Congressional Joint Economic Committee Room 232, Russell Building (SDB) Washington, D.C. Dear Senator Humphrey: I read an article in a recent issue of Cleveland's Sunday Plain Dealer about the concern of lawmakers with the increasing youth unemployment problem. I thought about a project of mine which was shelved last year because we had to stop creating solutions to urban problems, in order to survive financially as a black family of limited economic means. As a student of urban studies/psychology, as a product and a resident of a large urban ghetto, as a former assistant to the Director of Black Affairs at a local junior college, as a former civil rights activist, as a communications consultant and businesswoman, I have reached several conclusions, based on research, observation and inter-action with youth. My suggestion is the establishment of Youth Economic Development Corporations in the major urban centers on the order of existing Community Economic Development Corporations. I have base plans for a Communications Center and an Industrial Training Center. The YEDC pilot project is an extension and creative consolidation of such programs as Junior Achievement (basically, white, middle-class oriented), high school industrial arts curricula (usually aimed at boys, and not placed in the proper perspective of occupational aspirations), career education programs and counseling, job training programs and minority youth entrepreneurship awareness. The basis purposes of YEDC would be: (1) To offer insight into the world of business, which is often unfamiliar to minority youth. (2) To provide leadership and management training to youth.who have few credible leaders and role models. (3) To teach marketable skills to youth based on projected job and business opportunity trends, especially in service oriented occupations and industries. (4) To give youth the opportunity to become involved in profit making operations at all levels. (5) To create and spin-off profit-making businesses, mainly owned and operated by the young people themselves. Senator Hubert Humphrey Page Two (2) KAMA KHALINA I N C 0 R P 0 R A T E D (6) To assist youth by counseling and training in developing skills necessary to (1) seek out, apply for, obtain, and maintain employment and/or (2) to develop, establish, and operate profitJble business ventures. No one has yet discovered a method of combining all the essentials necessary for youth, if they are to survive and be successful within the American economic and political systems. I believe YEDC can provide that solution. As a minority owned and operated management and communications consulting firm, our company, and the principals, are particularly suited to developing structures and institutions for positive and effective change. Because we have personal insight into the predicaments of young black jobseekers and because we have experience in both big business and small business, the myriad of economic problems created by the unemployment rates and idle youth can be partially solved by or proposed project. The potential is as limitless as the free enterprise system itself. We would like to secure a federal contract or combination of contracts for planning and implementati"on of a demonstration project to prove that our proposal will operate effectively and achieve the projected goals and objectives. Please give us a chance to help save our youth from the stifling inertia of joblessness and the treacherous appeal of drugs and crime in the streets. We've been there, and we know, when you're desperate a way--any way--is better than none at all. Let us show them a more effective and satisfying way. If you and your committee are interested in our proposals, please contact us at your earliest convenience. I have included some background information on our company which was started in 1973. I envision a cooperative effort on YEDC, possibly involving the U.S. Departments of Health, Education and Welfare, Labor, Connnerce and Housing and Urban Development.
