REMARKS: UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND
NEW YORK, NY
THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1989
CONGRESSMAN HAWKINS, MR. RAWL, MR. SIMON, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, MY FELLOW CITIZENS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT INTRODUCTION, AND FOR THE WARMTH
OF YOUR RECEPTION. PAUL SIMON ONCE WROTE A SONG TITLED,
SIMPLY, "OLD FRIENDS." I AM DELIGHTED TO SEE MY OLD
FRIENDS BILL AND VI TRENT WITH US TONIGHT.
2
MY ASSOCIATION WITH UNCF GOT STARTED BACK IN 1948
WHEN BILL TRENT, AS THE FIRST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
COLLEGE FUND, CAME TO YALE AND GOT ME INVOLVED IN THE UNCF
CAMPAIGN. A DECADE LATER, HE ASKED ME TO CHAIR THE UNCF
TEXAS CAMPAIGN. YESTERDAY, I UNDERSTAND, WAS HIS 79TH
BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILL.
TONIGHT, FLANKED BY OLD FRIENDS AND, IN A REAL SENSE,
FAMILY, I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COMPANY.
DURING MY STUDENT DAYS AT YALE, I FIRST SAW THE FUND
INVEST IN HIGHER EDUCATION, AND IN AMERICA.
3
THEN, AS NOW, IT INSISTED THAT EXCELLENCE BECOME A WAY OF
LIFE, AND HIGHER LEARNING A BEQUEST.
As AN UNDERGRADUATE, I CAME TO GRASP WHAT CHURCHILL
MEANT WHEN HE SAID, "PERSONALLY, I AM ALWAYS READY TO
LEARN, THOUGH I DO NOT ALWAYS ENJOY BEING TAUGHT." WELL,
FOR NEARLY HALF-A-CENTURY, THIS FUND HAS TAUGHT, so THAT
AMERICA COULD LEARN, THE GENTLER IMPULSES OF MANKIND.
You HAVE HELPED SOCIETY'S DISADVANTAGED CAST OFF
DESPAIR AND POVERTY.
4
AND THROUGH SUCH FRIENDS AS BILL TRENT AND FREDERICK D.
PATTERSON -- AND, YES, HOW WE MISS HIM -- YOU HAVE
ENDORSED LIBERTY, OPPORTUNITY, AND THE DIGNITY OF WORK.
BUT MOST OF ALL, YOU HAVE SHOWN HOW CONSCIENCE AND
EDUCATION CAN FULFILL THE PROMISE OF AMERICA: TO RIGHT
WRONG, LOVE FREEDOM, AND DEMAND EQUALITY FOR ALL.
FOR THAT, I CONGRATULATE YOU -- AND YET, I CHALLENGE
YOU, TOO.
5
BLACK AND WHITE, TOGETHER -- WE KNOW THAT AMERICA
WILL NOT BE A GOOD PLACE FOR ANY OF US TO LIVE UNTIL IT IS
A GOOD PLACE FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE. ((PAUSE))
MOST AMERICANS, I'M CONVINCED, BELIEVE THAT
GOVERNMENT CAN BE AN INSTRUMENT OF HEALING. THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN GOVERNMENT MUST STEP IN WHERE OTHERS FEAR TO
TREAD.
MY FRIENDS, I SHARE THOSE BELIEFS, AND AS PRESIDENT,
I WILL ACT ON THEM.
6
FOR AMERICA, IT SEEMS TO ME, MEANS PRIDE --
INDIVIDUALLY, CULTURALLY AND RACIALLY. AMERICA MEANS, IN
THE WORDS OF DR. KING, THAT "INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A
THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE." IT MEANS OPPORTUNITY FOR
THOSE WHO NEED JOBS AND WHO DREAM OF OWNING HOMES. AND IT
MEANS THE HOPE THAT TOMORROW WILL BE BRIGHTER THAN TODAY.
How CAN WE BEST INSPIRE THAT HOPE, AND SECURE THE
PROMISE OF AMERICA? I SAY THE ANSWER IS EDUCATION.
7
EDUCATION KNOWS NO BARRIERS, ACCEPTS NO LIMITS.
EDUCATION IS A LADDER; IT EMBODIES SELF-RESPECT, NOT
DEPENDENCY. EDUCATION CAN GIVE MINORITIES A GREATER VOICE
-- AND MAKE SURE THAT VOICE IS HEARD.
SINCE 1944, WHEN DR. PATTERSON FOUNDED THE UNCF, YOUR
VOICE HAS RESOUNDED FROM COLLEGES LIKE TUSKEGEE,
MOREHOUSE, SPELLMAN, AND FISK. BLACK COLLEGES HAVE
ENNOBLED SUCH AMERICANS AS LEONTYNE PRICE, FRANK YERBY,
Azie ((AZZ-EE)) TAYLOR MORTON, AND OUR NEXT SECRETARY OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DR. LOUIS SULLIVAN.
8
((LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT LEW SULLIVAN.
BARBARA SERVED ON THE BOARD OF MOREHOUSE MEDICAL COLLEGE.
LEW WAS PRESIDENT OF THAT COLLEGE. IT WAS SAID I
APPOINTED LEW BECAUSE OF BARBARA'S FRIENDSHIP WITH THE
SULLIVANS. WRONG -- I KNEW LEW FIRST. I APPOINTED HIM
BECAUSE OF HIS ABILITY. AND YES, I CONFESS, BECAUSE HE IS
so DEDICATED TO MOREHOUSE AND IS SUCH A HARD CHARGING
LEADER THAT MY WIFE WAS SPENDING MORE TIME ON MOREHOUSE
MATTERS THAN SHE WAS ON FAMILY AND LITERACY PUT
TOGETHER.))
9
As YOU KNOW, IN SEPTEMBER 1981, PRESIDENT REAGAN
SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 12320, COMMITTING THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE ITS SUPPORT OF HISTORICALLY BLACK
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
OUR GOAL WAS TO IDENTIFY, AND ELIMINATE, UNFAIR
BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION IN FEDERALLY-SPONSORED PROGRAMS.
OUR MEANS WAS TO INVOLVE THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND TO
MOTIVATE THE 27 FEDERAL AGENCIES WHICH PROVIDE NEARLY ALL
THE FEDERAL FUNDING.
DID IT WORK? DID IT EVER.
10
IN FISCAL YEAR 1981, HBCUs RECEIVED $545 MILLION IN
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE. IN FISCAL YEAR 1987, THAT SUM TOTALED
$684 MILLION. MOREOVER, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, WHICH
INCLUDES FUNDS FOR NON-SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT, COMPRISED NEARLY HALF OF ALL FUNDING FOR
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES. OUR WHITE HOUSE SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOSTERED SCIENCE,
MATHEMATICS, AND ENGINEERING PROGRAMS AND CURRICULA.
11
THIS COMPREHENSIVE HBCU EFFORT HAS ATTACKED THE FOUR
HORSEMEN OF THE AMERICAN NIGHT -- ILLITERACY AND
INEQUALITY, INDIGENCE AND FEAR.
GREAT BEGINNINGS, YES. Now, LET US BUILD UPON THEM.
WE HAVE DONE MUCH. BUT THERE REMAINS so MUCH MORE LEFT TO
DO.
12
((You KNOW, THERE'S AN OLD NEW ENGLAND STORY ABOUT A
MAN, STUCK IN THE MUD WITH HIS CAR, WHO WAS ASKED BY A
PASSING MOTORIST WHETHER HE WAS REALLY STUCK. "WELL, YOU
COULD SAY I WAS STUCK," THE FELLOW SAID, "IF I WAS REALLY
GOING ANYWHERE."))
WELL, MY FRIENDS, 8 WEEKS AGO, I MET WITH THE
PRESIDENTS OF HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES TO PROBE EXACTLY
WHERE WE ARE GOING, AND HOW. WE DISCUSSED FACULTY
DEVELOPMENT AND MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS, COMMUNITY COLLEGE
GRANTS AND INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING.
13
IN EACH CASE, WE EXPLORED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT OF
PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, TASK FORCES, CONFERENCES,
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND THE USE OF FEDERAL RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT FUNDS.
FROM THAT MEETING, AND OTHERS LIKE IT, CAME SIX NEW
INITIATIVES WHICH WILL HELP DO, NATIONALLY, WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE, HISTORICALLY: ENRICH EDUCATION, so THAT EDUCATION
CAN ENRICH OUR LIVES.
14
AFTER LISTENING TO YOUR PRESIDENTS, I PROPOSED THAT
CONGRESS FUND $60 MILLION OVER FOUR YEARS IN ENDOWMENT
MATCHING GRANTS FOR HBCUs. WE HAVE PUT OUR MONEY ON THE
TABLE. Now, I CHALLENGE THE PRIVATE SECTOR: THE TIME HAS
COME FOR YOURS.
SECONDLY, IF EXCELLENCE BREEDS ACHIEVEMENT, THAT
EXCELLENCE SHOULD BE REWARDED -- IN GRADE SCHOOL, IN HIGH
SCHOOL, AND AT OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
15
ACCORDINGLY, I WANT CONGRESS TO CREATE A $500 MILLION
PROGRAM TO REWARD AMERICA'S "MERIT SCHOOLS" -- THE SCHOOLS
WHICH IMPROVE THE MOST.
THIRDLY, I WANT IT TO CREATE SPECIAL PRESIDENTIAL
AWARDS FOR THE BEST TEACHERS IN EVERY STATE.
AND NEXT, I WANT TO SEE THE EXPANDED USE OF MAGNET
SCHOOLS -- TO GIVE PARENTS AND STUDENTS THE FREEDOM OF
CHOICE.
16
I HAVE ALSO PROPOSED A NEW PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE
"ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION" -- TO ALLOW TALENTED AMERICANS
FROM EVERY FIELD TO TEACH IN AMERICA'S CLASSROOMS.
CONSIDER THAT TODAY, IN MANY AREAS, A JOHN UPDIKE, AN ALEX
HALEY, COULDN'T QUALIFY TO TEACH HIGH SCHOOL CREATIVE
WRITING.
((IN FACT, I REMEMBER GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE IN 1948
AND MOVING OUT TO WEST TEXAS. I'LL NEVER FORGET WANTING
TO DO SOME TEACHING AND BEING TOLD THAT MY BRAND NEW PHI
BETA KAPPA DEGREE FROM YALE WASN'T ENOUGH.
17
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I'M JUST NOW GETTING OVER THE
SCARS
OF COURSE, LAST NOVEMBER HELPED ...))
BUT MY POINT IS, WHEN RULES ARE so INFLEXIBLE THAT
CREATIVITY, TALENT, AND IMAGINATION AREN'T WELCOME IN OUR
SCHOOLS, IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE RULES.
AND FINALLY, THROUGH A NEW PROGRAM OF NATIONAL
SCIENCE SCHOLARS, I SEEK TO GIVE AMERICA'S YOUTH A SPECIAL
INCENTIVE TO EXCEL IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS. THE
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION PREDICTS A SHORTAGE OF 400,000
SCIENTISTS BY THE YEAR 2000.
18
THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION, WE MUST, AND WILL,
REVERSE THAT TREND.
AND, YET, ALL OF THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. IT NEVER IS.
As AMERICANS, WE ARE NEVER SATISFIED. WE KNOW THAT WHEN A
DREAM COMES TRUE, IT GIVES RISE TO EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER
DREAMS.
LET US WORK, THEN, TO BUILD A BETTER AMERICA. AND
LET US BEGIN BY ENDING DRUG ABUSE.
Mr FRIENDS, DRUG ABUSE IS AMERICA'S TWENTIETH-CENTURY
VERSION OF HUMAN SLAVERY.
19
IT CHAINS THE SPIRIT, AND IMPERILS THE ABILITY TO LEARN.
To COMBAT DRUGS, WE MUST MOBILIZE OUR RESOURCES -- FISCAL,
MORAL, SPIRITUAL, ECONOMIC -- AND WAGE UNCONDITIONAL WAR.
AND WE MUST FIGHT ON EVERY FRONT: EDUCATION, TREATMENT,
INTERDICTION, ENFORCEMENT.
LAST MONTH, I ASKED CONGRESS FOR AN INCREASE OF
ALMOST $1 BILLION IN BUDGET OUTLAYS TO ESCALATE OUR WAR.
THIS IS A WAR WE MUST AND WILL WIN. THE FUTURE OF OUR
NATION AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN DEPEND ON IT.
20
EARLIER, I MENTIONED THE PROMISE OF AMERICA: HOPE,
PRIDE, OPPORTUNITY, JUSTICE. A DRUG-FREE AMERICA FULFILLS
THAT PROMISE. So, Too, DO ENTERPRISE ZONES.
ENTERPRISE ZONES ARE A PIONEERING INITIATIVE TO
ESTABLISH A NUMBER OF FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED ZONES -- OR
AREAS -- IN ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES. BY
PROVIDING TAX BREAKS AND RELIEF FROM REGULATION, THEY
FOSTER A CLIMATE WHERE NEW BUSINESSES CAN BE CREATED, AND
EXISTING BUSINESSES EXPANDED.
21
THESE BUSINESSES WILL CREATE NEW JOBS IN THESE TARGETED
COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY FOR DISADVANTAGED WORKERS.
ALREADY, 37 STATES HAVE DEVELOPED ENTERPRISE ZONE
PROGRAMS. IT'S TIME WE PUT THEM TO WORK AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL. LOCAL COMMUNITIES WILL BENEFIT. BUT, MORE
IMPORTANTLY, THOSE WHO NEED A HELPING HAND -- THE
UNEMPLOYED, THE DISPOSSESSED -- WILL GAIN NEW HOPE AND
OPPORTUNITY: NOT ACROSS TOWN, BUT IN THEIR OWN BACK
YARDS.
22
ENTERPRISE ZONES CAN SERVE THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG
US. WELL, so, Too, WILL CHILD CARE, FAIR HOUSING, AND
MINORITY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. THEY BUILD LONG-TERM
OPPORTUNITY -- THE KIND OF EQUALITY THAT LASTS. THEY WILL
ENRICH THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL AMERICANS.
As PART OF OUR NEW CHILD-CARE INITIATIVE, TARGETED AT
LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, I HAVE ASKED FOR $250 MILLION MORE
FOR THE HEAD START PROGRAM. THIS FEDERAL PROGRAM MUST,
AND WILL, SERVE INCREASING NUMBERS OF FOUR-YEAR-OLDS.
23
FOR WORKING PARENTS WITH CHILDREN UNDER FOUR, WE'VE
PROPOSED A NEW TAX CREDIT TO MAKE CHILD CARE MORE
AFFORDABLE. AND WE WANT TO MAKE THE EXISTING CHILD CARE
CREDIT REFUNDABLE TO FAMILIES WHO DON'T PAY TAXES. MY
PROPOSAL PUTS MONEY IN THE HANDS OF LOW-INCOME PARENTS,
LIMITS FEDERAL INTERVENTION, AND INCREASES OPTIONS -- A
CHURCH CAN HELP; OR GRANDPARENTS; OR PROFESSIONAL NURSERY.
IN SHORT, WE SAY: LET THE PARENTS DECIDE.
24
To US, CHILD CARE MEANS OPTIONS. WELL, THAT IS ALSO
TRUE OF THE INALIENABLE RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN TO LIVE
WHERE HE CHOOSES, WHEN HE CHOOSES, FOR AS LONG AS HE
CHOOSES, WITHIN HIS MEANS. It's AS SIMPLE AS IT SOUNDS --
A SIMPLE MATTER OF WHAT'S RIGHT, AND WHAT'S WRONG. UNDER
THIS ADMINISTRATION, YOU HAVE MY PLEDGE: WE WILL
VIGOROUSLY ENFORCE THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING AcT.
FINALLY, FOUR DAYS AGO, THE OFFICE OF MINORITY
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, RENAMED THE MINORITY BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT AGENCY, MARKED ITS 20TH BIRTHDAY.
25
WE WILL EXPAND ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE FREE ENTERPRISE
SYSTEM. AND WE'LL PROMOTE OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH SPUR
HOUSING, INVESTMENT, JOBS, AND TRAINING. THE JOB TRAINING
PARTNERSHIP AcT, FOR INSTANCE. THE SMALL BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION.
YES, HOPE, PRIDE, OPPORTUNITY, JUSTICE. I THOUGHT OF
THOSE QUALITIES WHEN I RECEIVED A LETTER, RECENTLY, FROM A
MOTHER IN NEW ORLEANS. SHE IS 48 YEARS OLD, AND WIDOWED.
SHE HAS FOUR SONS, AND HER FAMILY IS IN DEBT. BUT THEY
ARE PROUD AND UNAFRAID, BECAUSE EDUCATION IS THEIR ALLY.
26
THE MOTHER IS PURSUING A MASTERS DEGREE IN SOCIAL
WORK; LAST YEAR, HER ELDEST SON GRADUATED FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. AND THE THREE OTHER KIDS ARE
COLLEGE STUDENTS -- INCLUDING, SHE WROTE, "THE BABY OF THE
FAMILY: A 6-FOOT-6, 240-POUND FRESHMAN AT GRAMBLING STATE
UNIVERSITY."
"I IMPLORE YOU," THE MOTHER ASKED, "To THINK ABOUT
PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF AND MY SONS." AND THEN SHE
ADDED: "P.S. WE'RE BLACK BUT OPTIMISTIC THAT WE CAN BE A
PART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM."
27
Mr FRIENDS, I WANT AN AMERICA WHERE THIS DEDICATED
MOTHER DOES NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN "BLACK" AND
"OPTIMISTIC." THE WORDS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE -- NOT
A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS. AND I WANT OUR POLICIES TO
SERVE AND ENCOURAGE THIS FAMILY, AND MILLIONS LIKE IT
EVERYWHERE. BECAUSE THEY REFLECT THE PROMISE OF AMERICA
AND WE MUST HELP MAKE THAT PROMISE A REALITY.
THE PROMISE OF AMERICA SAYS THAT BY ASSURING
EQUALITY, WE CAN ENHANCE GREATER OPPORTUNITY.
28
IT SAYS THAT OUR DESTINY IS NOT DIVISIBLE, AND THAT WE ARE
CHILDREN OF THE SAME HUMANE AND LOVING GOD.
THE PROMISE OF AMERICA DEMANDS THAT WE AID OUR
COMMUNITIES AND ASSIST OUR NEIGHBORS. IT RESTS LESS ON
PROMISES AND POLITICIANS THAN ON THE PRIMACY OF THE HEART.
THE PROMISE OF AMERICA KNOWS NEITHER RACE, CREED,
SEX, OR COLOR. IT IS COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL, AND AS
BOUNDLESS AS OUR HISTORY. THE PROMISE OF AMERICA SAYS
THAT GOVERNMENT IS BUT A CUSTODIAN OF AMERICA'S FUTURE --
BUT THAT YOU -- THE PEOPLE -- YOU ARE HER ARCHITECTS.
29
DR. BENJAMIN E. MAYS ONCE OBSERVED, "IT MUST BE BORNE
IN MIND THAT THE TRAGEDY OF LIFE DOES NOT LIE IN NOT
REACHING YOUR GOAL. THE TRAGEDY LIES IN HAVING NO GOAL TO
REACH."
MY FELLOW CITIZENS, TO OPEN WIDE THE DOOR OF
OPPORTUNITY AND EQUALITY TO ALL AMERICANS -- THIS IS OUR
GOAL, AND THE TRUE PROMISE OF AMERICA. LET US ACHIEVE IT,
TOGETHER, AS AMERICANS AND AS FRIENDS.
THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME, GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND GOD
BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND
Imperial Ballroom
Sheraton Center Hotel
New York, New York
7:51 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Michael Jordan, for that
introduction. Barbara and I are delighted to be with you, speaking
before the olives, the celery, the raw carrots. (Laughter.) But
we've got to get back to Washington -- fast. (Laughter and
applause.) (Laughter.) The Senate is still in session and our dog is pregnant.
I want to just add my voice of congratulations to Gus
Hawkins and Larry Rawl and Paul Simon. You honor three good people.
And I want to thank Hugh Cullman, who gives so much of himself to the
United Negro College Fund, and, of course, salute Chris Edley, a
friend of long-standing.
You know, Paul Simon once wrote a song called simply,
"Old Friends." And I'm delighted to see my old friends, Bill and Vi
Trent, here with us tonight.
You know, as Michael said -- (applause) -- my association
with the UNCF got started there at Yale University in '48, and Bill
Trent came up to New Haven and talked to a lot of young idealistic
people about his vision for higher education, and he did a superb
job. And so today, when he and Vi flew up with me on Air Force One,
I had this great feeling of nostalgia. And he is -- his 79th
birthday I think is tomorrow, but in any event, it's great to be with
this old friend way down on the end of the line. (Applause.)
Also with us on Air Force One was another Executive
Director of the UNCF, Art Fletcher, who's here somewhere. But we
have good representation. And you talk about the hard sell, they're
still doing it. (Laughter.)
Tonight, flanked by old friends and, in a real sense,
family, because my brother, John, is active in this crusade, and I
consider many of you here family -- I am grateful for your company.
During my student days at Yale, I first saw the Fund
invest in higher education and in America. And then, as now, it
insisted that excellence become a way of life, and a higher learning
a bequest.
And as undergraduate, I came to grasp what Churchill
talked about when he said, "Personally, I am always ready to learn,
though I do not always enjoy being taught." Well, for nearly
half-a-century, this Fund has taught so that America could learn and
the gentler impulses of mankind was high on the teaching agenda.
And you have helped society's disadvantaged cast off
despair and poverty. And through such friends as Bill Trent and now
Chris and then Frederick D. Patterson -- and, yes, he is still sorely
missed work. -- you have endorsed liberty, opportunity, and the dignity of
MORE
- 2 -
But most of all, you really have shown how the conscience
and education can fulfill the promise of America -- to right wrong,
to love freedom, to demand equality for all.
And for that, I congratulate you -- and yet, I challenge
you, too. Black and white, together -- we know that America will not
be a good place for any of us to live until it is a good place for
all of us to live. (Applause.)
Most Americans, I'm convinced, believe that government
can be an instrument of healing. There are times when government
must step in where others fear to tread.
My friends, I share those beliefs, and as President, I
will act on them.
I'm delighted that my Secretary of Education, our
distinguished Secretary of Education Larry Cavazos is with us here
tonight, sitting over here. (Applause.)
For America, it seems to me, means pride -- individually,
culturally, racially. And America means, in the words of Dr. King,
that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
(Applause.) And it does mean opportunity for those who need jobs and
who dream of owning homes. And it means the hope that tomorrow will
be brighter than today. How can we best inspire that hope and secure
the promise of America? I do believe that the answer is in
education. Education knows no barriers, accepts no limits.
Education is a ladder; it embodies self-respect, not dependency.
Education can give minorities a greater voice, and then make sure
that that voice is heard.
Since 1944, when Dr. Patterson founded the UNCF, your
voice has resounded from colleges like Tuskegee and Morehouse and
Spellman and Fisk. And I'm going to hurt a lot of feelings tonight
because I was in a receiving line, and I was so impressed with the
names that came flowing back as I met the presidents of these
distinguished universities. Black colleges have enobled such
Americans as Leontyne Price, Frank Yerby, Azie Taylor Morton, and our
next Secretary of Health and Human Services, my dear friend, Dr. Lou
Sullivan, who is here with us tonight. (Applause.)
It is said that the woman who Time calls "the silver fox"
-- (laughter and applause) -- was responsible for Lou Sullivan's
being appointed to this Cabinet, and I'll give her some credit.
(Laughter and applause.) I want to gun down the rumor though that I
appointed Lou Sullivan to be Secretary because when as President of
Morehouse Medical School he was working my wife to death as a board
member. And it's rumored I just wanted him to get out of there to
let up on her. Not true. (Laughter.)
As you know, in September 1981, President Reagan signed
that Executive Order 12320, committing the federal government to
increase its support of Historical Black Colleges and Universities.
And our goal was to identify, and eliminate, unfair
barriers to participation in federally-sponsored programs. And our
means was to involve the private sector, and to motivate the 27
federal agencies which provide nearly all the federal funding.
And did it work? Did it ever.
In Fiscal '81, Historical Black Colleges received $545
million. Fiscal Year '87 - $684. And moreover, research and
development, which includes funds for non-scientific institutional
development, comprised nearly half of all funding for Historically
Black Colleges. Our White House Science and Technology Advisory
Committee fostered science, math, and engineering programs and
curricula. And this comprehensive HBCU efort has attacked the Four
MORE
- 3 -
Horsemen of the American Night -- illiteracy and inequality,
indigence and fear.
Great beginnings -- crawling before we walk and then run.
Great beginnings. And now let's build on them. And we have done
much, but there remains so much more left to do.
My friends, eight weeks ago I think it was, there in the
White House complex, I met with the presidents of many of the
colleges represented here tonight to probe exactly where we are going
and how. And we discussed faculty development and merit
scholarships, community college grants and institutional planning.
And from that meeting, and others like it, came six new
initiatives which will help do, nationally, what you have done,
historically: Enrich education, so that education can enrich our
lives.
And after listening to your presidents, I proposed that
Congress fund $60 million over four years in endowment matching
grants. We put our money on the table. And now, I want to challenge
the private sector. It's a beginning. We need the help of the
private sector. The time has come.
And secondly, if excellence breeds achievement, that
excellence should be rewarded -- in grade schools, in high school,
and at our colleges and university. And so I want Congress to create
a $500 million program to reward America's "merit schools" -- the
schools which improve the most.
And thirdly, I want it to create special presidential
awards for the best teachers in every state.
And next, I want to see the expanded use of magnet
schools to give parents and students the freedom of choice.
And I've also proposed a new program to encourage
"alternative certification" -- to allow talented Americans from every
field to teach in America's classrooms -- school classrooms.
Consider that today, in many areas, a John Updike or an Alex Haley
could not qualify to teach high school creative writing. There is
something wrong and we've got to change that system. (Applause.) My
point is that when rules are so inflexible that creativity and talent
and imagination aren't welcome in our schools, it's time to change
those rules.
And finally, through a new program of National Science
Scholars, I seek to give America's youth a special incentive to excel
in science and math. The National Science Foundation predicts a
shortage of 400,000 scientists by the year 2000. Through excellence
in education, we must and will reverse that trend. And I see the
historical black colleges as an enormous resource to do just exactly
that. (Applause.)
And yet, I recognize that these proposals -- all of this
isn't enough. It never is. As Americans, we never are satisfied.
We know that when a dream comes true, it gives rise to even bigger
and better dreams.
And so my appeal tonight is that we work to build a
better America. I feel strongly -- I feel deeply in my heart about
the United Negro College Fund, and I came up to tell you on this
highly successful dinner that Hugh and Chris and Michael and others
here at this dias and all of you out there worked so hard on to make
so successful, I want to help. I want the United States government
to help. And Barbara and I ás individuals want to join you in this
enormous power of the private sector to do all we can to help you
achieve your goals and your ideals.
And thank you all and God bless you. (Applause.)

SPEECH BY VICE PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH
AT THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND KICKOFF LUNCHEON
U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WASHINGTON, D.C.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1983
Good afternoon. I'm very pleased to be here today addressing
this distinguished group as it launches its 1983 Corporate campaign.
We are all of us, grateful to the many private corporations and
groups and Individuals right here in this room whose generous
support has enabled the United Negro College Fund not only to carry
on with its so very Important activities, but actually to expand
them over the years.
I was talking with my friend Norman Francis about the report
of the National Commission on Excellence in Education -- which
Norman calls the "Amen" report. Well, I think we can all say amen
to that report. I know the Black community has always been deeply
committed to the Importance of education. I've 'found that on this
issue Blacks tend to be among the most traditionally and conserva-
tively minded. They understand better than most the necessity of a
solld educational foundation -- that we should not, as I always
say, go back to the basics but forward with the basics to meet the
challenges that lie ahead.
Norman was pointing out to me the Introduction to the Commis-
sion report, where it says that providing educational opportunity to
all America's people, regardless of race or class or economic
status, not only serves the Interests of individuals but is vital If
society Itself is going to progress.
I want to stress that point, because I think it is so very
important: that opening up opportunity to those who have been denied
it is not only morally right and just, and in accordance with
everything that we as a nation stand for -- the point I want to
stress is that it is essential to Society's well-being.
I suppose the best Illustration we could have of that is the
recent, post-war history of the South. We may sometimes forget
today that the same arguments used against opening our doors to
immigration were used in the segregationist South to deny Blacks
equal opportunity in the labor force. Blacks, it was said, would
take jobs away from whites.
To zero-sum believers that might make sense. But was it in
fact the case? Atlanta may be the most dramatic refutation of that
argument. In 1940 it was no more than a sleepy, trade center for
the rural South, with virtually no Industry to speak of. Thirty
years later it was well on its way to becoming one of the largest
citles in the country and the economic and social capital of the New
South.
What propelled this startling change? Doubtless many things;
but perhaps the most significant factor in Atlanta's recent history
is the fact that they led the way in the South's move into the era
of Civil Rights. While other cities were fighting desegregation
tooth and nail, Atlanta was slowly but surely opening up its econom-
1c doors to Blacks.
During that time, Atlanta's Black population grew faster than
any other Southern city, seven times as fast, for Instance, as
Birmingham's. Increased economic opportunity attracted Blacks to
Atlanta just as It now attracts immigrants to our shores, unleashing
the creative energies that had so long been held down by segre-
gation. And the result was that everybody -- both white and black
-- was better off. Atlanta's average family income grew faster than
almost any other American city, and by 1979 was up there with most
northern citles.
I'm not usually given to quoting our predecessor adminis-
tration, but Jimmy Carter was never more on the mark than when he
sald that "the best thing that ever happened to Georgia was the
civil rights movement."
While Atlanta was booming, those citles which resisted
Integration languished far behind. I might add that Atlanta had one
other major advantage: it contains five of the most prestiglous
Black colleges. Atlanta had a higher proportion of educated Black
people to spearhead the move of Blacks into the labor force. This
demonstrates once again how terribly Important our Historic Black
colleges and predominantly Black Institutions are -- because it is
these schools that educate the vast majority of Black college
graduates.
But I tell this Atlanta story in order to sketch out for you
a moral: that freedom and prosperity are not only compatible, they
flow naturally from one another; and the other side of that is that
the politics of fear and retrenchment are ultimately the politics of
poverty.
I think that the United Negro College Fund has always under-
stood this. As the Fund's ad so effectively states, "A mind is a
terrible thing to waste." In addition to the terrible personal
tragedy and waste, we should not forget the great waste to society.
To borrow a phrase from the economist Jullan Simon, "People are the
ultimate resource." That, I think, is the lesson of this country's
history.
That history has not been exemplary in every respect, as
Black people perhaps more than anyone else can attest. But through-
out our history, has run a noble theme: one of Increasing freedom
and opportunity for all people. And it just may be that history is
proving that these things are not just good in themselves -- morally
good -- but that we as a nation owe our great wealth and prosperity
to the freedoms we allow our people.
But the advancement of freedom is never easy. That is why I
said at the beginning of my speech that we are all Indebted to the
United Negro College Fund.
The Fund has been Invaluable in the past, but I think it will
be playing an even more Important role -- if that were possible --
in the future. It's hard for us to believe now, struggling as we
are with serious unemployment -- unfortunately one of the last
things to turn around In a recovery -- but present trends point to a
severe labor shortage in the not too distant future. We are now on
the steep down side of the post war baby boom curve. There will be
fewer and fewer people coming Into the labor force in the years
ahead at the same time as workers are, in general, retiring earlier.
I'm not talking decades, I'm talking years. By the late
1980's we will already be feeling the crunch. Many of the new Jobs
will be in the newer service and what are called "information"
industries, and these jobs will Increasingly demand educated and
skilled workers. We simply can't afford as a nation to let our most
valuable resource -- people -- go underutilized.
Black people have traditionally held education to be one of
their most cherlshed values. I've often heard Blacks say that they
were told over and over again when they were growing up that they
must get an education, because an education is the one thing that
nobody can take away from you. It's frequently said that Black
people have to work twice as hard, and achieve twice as much, just
to compete.
Well, It is a struggle, and no one can make it easy. But
this Administration is deeply committed to removing every obstacle
that we can -- of lowering the Initial hurdles so that Blacks can
get out there and win in a fair competition. That is why this
Administration has worked to target financial assistance to those
students who need it the most, increasing Pell grants in the '84
budget by 300 million and Increasing the College Work Study Program
by 57% or 310 million dollars. Budget proposals for Guaranteed
Student Loans have dropped somewhat in dollar amounts, but this
entirely reflects lowered Inflation rates and the consequent re-
duction in Interest rates. In fact, the number of students receiv-
Ing Guaranteed Student Loans in 1.84 will Increase to 2.9 million and
their average grants will go up by about $106.
Some of the best news for hardpressed educational Insti-
tutions is the decline in inflation. Every one percent reduction in
Inflation buys a total of 2 billion dollars in educational services.
Because the Administration recognizes the unique contribution
of historically Black colleges, we are giving more money to these
institutions directly, as well as working to Increase their par-
ticipation in federally sponsored programs, such as research, and
actively encouraging the private sector to work in partnership with
these colleges whenever possible.
You know, America has always been a land that looked to the
future. Well, the United Negro College Fund is a very Important
part of that future. I think that the private corporations and
groups that have given so generously in the past know that, and that
is why I am confident that we can count on their continuing support
for the Fund's noble, indeed essential, work.
Thank you.

BACKGROUND
UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND
AND AMERICA'S CHALLENGES
Industry is increasingly more dependent on minorities for
its college-trained workers, managers and professionals. By the
year 2000, 1/3 of those entering the work force will be
minorities; 2/3 of those minorities will be blacks. More than
half of all new jobs will require college education. There are
fewer blacks in college today than 10 years ago, and 17% fewer
blacks are receiving doctorates. This is a national problem of
crisis proportion that, if not corrected, will affect our world-
wide competitiveness and standard of living.
BACKGROUND:
Black colleges enroll 35% of all blacks attending 4-year
colleges and graduate about 40% of blacks with bachelor's
degrees.
Blacks in black colleges have greater cognitive growth than
blacks in white schools, attributable to:
Supportive environment
Presence of role models
Mentoring
Leadership opportunities
All but a few UNCF colleges were established over 100 years
ago.
UNCF is a consortium of 42 private historically black
colleges organized to raise funds and provide services. Nearly
$524 million has been raised since UNCF's inception in 1944 via
- 2 -
both annual campaigns and 3 capital campaigns.
UNCF COLLEGES:
educate 45,000 students, the best and brightest and those
inadequately prepared from both rural areas and inner cities.
The UNCF colleges are located in ten southern states,
Texas and Ohio; however, 1/3 of the students are from outside the
South.
The average income of UNCF parents is $17,000, compared
to $32,000 nationally.
90% of UNCF students require financial aid.
UNCF colleges' tuition is 53% of other private colleges;
UNCF colleges are more dependent on gifts and grants than other
private colleges; endowment, with a few exceptions, is totally
inadequate.
UNCF graduates: 28% in business and banking, 10% in
education, 5% in computer science/engineering, and the balance in
liberal arts. 35% of graduates earn advanced degrees; 90% of
Fortune 500 companies recruit at UNCF campuses; UNCF graduates
represent the majority of black leaders in their communities and
nationally. Examples of prominent alumni include Martin Luther
King, Lionel Richie, Edwin Moses, Leontyne Price, Atlanta Mayor
Andrew Young, and former U.S. Treasurer Azie Morton.
A recent survey of 2000 graduates shows 95% come from
blue-collar families - 90% now work in interracial settings and
46% are the first blacks ever working in positions now held. 76%
hold managerial or professional positions.
- 3 -
I have been on campuses, in the classrooms; never have I
seen so many motivated students led by such dedicated teachers
working with such meager resources. 50% of the faculty hold
earned doctoral degrees.
Blacks who have completed four years of college earn 85%
more and are five times more likely to be employed than blacks
with only high school diplomas. The one thing we know from
experience is that education should guarantee greater success in
life and also should reduce many of the social problems related
to crime, teen pregnancy, drugs, etc. There are very few
programs that can produce such results.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that by the year 2000
1/3 of those entering the work force will be minorities; 2/3 of
these minorities will be black. Robert Atwell, President of the
American Council on Education, has reported that by the year 2000
half of all new jobs will require a college education. For the
U.S. to be competitive in the world economy and for our current
standard of living to be maintained, a large portion of
minorities must be college graduates. UNCF is a key resource to
make college accessible to blacks. As Tom Murphy of General
Motors has often said, "If UNCF colleges didn't exist, we would
have to invent them." Overcoming obstacles to higher education
of blacks has been the dominant mission of these black colleges.

PRESIDENT BUSH TO KEYNOTE
UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND DINNER ON MARCH 9
NEW YORK CITY -- President George Bush will deliver the keynote
address to the United Negro College Fund's 45th anniversary
dinner on Thursday, March 9 at the Shèraton Centre Hotel, the
White House has announced.
The gala, chaired by Michael H. Jordan, President and CEO of
PepsiCo Worldwide Foods, Inc., will honor composer Paul Simon,
U.S. Congressman Augustus F. (Gus) Hawkins of California, and
Exxon Corporation Chairman Lawrence G. Rawl. The Greater New
York Inter-Alumni Council, representing the alumni of the United
Negro College Fund's 42 historically black private colleges and
universities, co-sponsors the event.
President Bush's personal commitment to the United Negro
College Fund began in 1948, just four years after the
organization was founded. At that time, he helped launch a UNCF
campaign on the Yale University campus. Out of that effort grew
a long and warm relationship with UNCF and with its first
executive director, William Trent, who is expected to attend the
March 9 anniversary dinner.

A scientific
journey From sharecropper
to geology professor
Trenton and Columbia, South Carolina
are less than 60 miles apart, but it took
Mack Gipson 40 years to make the journey
from sharecropper to University of South
Carolina geology professor. At a time when
the shortage of black scientists - who repre-
sent less than 2 percent of the total - has
reached crisis proportions, Dr. Gipson's
odyssey is a telling one.
Black children could only go up to the
10th grade in Trenton, so Dr. Gipson's first
step was convincing his grandmother to
move to Augusta, Georgia where he could
finish high school. After graduating from
high school, Dr. Gipson was determined to
go to Paine College, a member of the United
Negro College Fund.
"I almost didn't go anywhere," Dr.
Gipson laughs. At zero hour - in fact, a
week after Paine had begun - my mother
was finally able to borrow the first semester's
tuition." He worked in his stepfather's bar-
ber shop, at the post office and at any other

As a scientist and a teacher, Dr. Gipson
has an important perspective on the shortage
of minorities among scientists. "I think
there are two main reasons. First, many of
the counselors steer black kids away from
difficult courses, so the student is ill-
prepared to pursue science and math in col-
lege. Second, the nature of science is such
that it requires a lot of time and students like
to have fun."
Dr. Gipson emphasizes the serious-
ness of the situation. "Black kids, minority
students in general and all kids should
be getting education for the high-tech
society. Because if you don't train your-
self, you're going to be consumers rather
than producers."
What would he do? "I would attack

Perhaps, then, it's in the years ahead

corporations used this period of
economic growth to develop new
partnerships in research and devel-

outstanding corporate and foundation
contributions served to identify and
encourage their continued support.
One indicator of the significant in-
crease in support from the private
sector was the near doubling in per
year contributions of public and pri-
vate foundations to historically Black

1981 and 1987. Total contributions
from this sector broke the $100 mil-

Fisk through a devastating financial

Helping to improve the financial
structure of historically Black col-
leges, President Reagan signed into
law the Challenge Grant Amend-
ments of 1983, offering matching
grants of up to $500,000 to establish

Presidents of the Historically Black Colleges and
Universities
We have enclosed for your information a summary of the
President's January 11th meeting with black college presidents.
As you will note from the summary, the college presidents
identified the policy issues that will be at the top of their
agenda for the next few years. They are anxious for a response
once there has been some resolution of the questions they
raised.
The main issues identified by the group were:
-Presidential reauthorization of Executive Order 12320.
-reinstitution of a body like the old Advisory Committee on
Black Education.
-Presidential action on what is perceived as black colleges
being unfairly penalized for student loan defaults.
-continuation of the research agreements between the
Departments of Defense and Transportation and black colleges.
-assistance in increasing black college endowments
significantly.
-need for increased financial aid and Pell grant
opportunities since over 75% of the students at black colleges
depend on financial aid.
-need for incentives for good students to enter the teaching
profession.
-need for affordable and decent campus housing, because of
its impact on campus environment and quality of education.
Please let us know if we can lend further assistance.

SUMMARY OF MEETING
January 11, 1989
Meeting of Presidents of the
Historically Black Colleges and Universities
January 11, 1989 at 2:30pm
Room 274, Old Executive Office Building
I.
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND
The purpose of this meeting with key black college and
university presidents was to reinforce the President-Elect's
campaign commitment to make education a high priority in the Bush
Administration as well as to demonstrate his interest in the
viability of these institutions.
The meeting was recommended by Bobbie Kilberg and Dave
Demarest.

III. EVENTS OF MEETING
Bobbie Kilberg opened the meeting by welcoming the
group. After going over the agenda with them, she introduced
David Demarest, who presented the group with an overview of the
transition and introduced Secretary of Education Cavazos.
Secretary Cavazos asserted his interest in being
supportive of black colleges and universities and asked the group
to assist him in combatting the problems of high drop-out rates
for black college students, illiteracy and attracting blacks to
become teachers (given the disparity in the ratio of black
students to black teachers). He pledged his continued support
for Title III (part 5) and asked the group to work with him on
the loan default issue. Here are some of the questions and
statements addressed to the Secretary: (Fort) Do you plan to make
any recommendations to the President-Elect on the need for more
blacks to enter the field of science and technology? (Response:
Yes). (Robinson) Do you plan to formalize the mechanism by which
you can get input from this group? (Response: Let me have some
ideas from this group). (Scott) Will you have the chance to
investigate the $4 million loss suffered by 11 black colleges in
making the transition from part A to part B of Title III? Bennett
College lost $171, 000 in the process. (Francis) While some of the
colleges have experienced some enrollment growth over the last
few years, there doesn't seem to be much money in the budget for
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20270
college housing programs. We hope the Secretary will support
increases in education on the housing side. (Stewart) The problem
of loan defaults 1S directly attributable to the change in the
ratio of (Pell) grants to loans. (Responses of Quayle, Cavazos:
There will be a sense of fairness and equity in handling these
issues. We have some tough decisions to make). (Ponder and Fort)
Why do our colleges have to be penalized if their students
default on college loans?
The President-Elect greeted the group individually upon
his arrival and opened his remarks by recalling his participation
as a student at Yale forty years ago in raising money for the
United Negro College Fund. As meeting moderator William Harvey
took the flcor, he thanked the President-Elect for his strong
record of support and asked him to consider either reinforcing,
reinstituting or reissuing Executive Order 12320. [The President-
Elect asked if, legally speaking, the order is automatically
negated or if it automatically expires at the end of a
President's term. We need to follow up with the Office of Legal
Counsel on this so that we can give the President-Elect (as well
as the group) an answer.] He further asked for the President-
Elect's help in getting the agencies to support the Executive
Order by working with the colleges and for consideration in
placing the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges
and Universities Office in the White House. (It is currently in
the Department of Education). We need to provide Gov, Sununu with
some background on this since the President-Elect asked him to
look into this matter.
At the earlier request of Bill Harvey, Benjamin F.
Payton presented the first few issues to the President-Elect,
which were: 1) the need to reinstitute an outside (of government)
body like the old Advisory Committee on Black Education; 2) deal
with the fact that black colleges and universities are being
unfairly penalized for student loan defaults, and 3) continue the
current research agreements between DoD and Transportation and
the black colleges and universities. The second presenter, Dallas
Simmons, said that all of the institutions would like to increase
their endowments significantly. Niara Sudarkasa, the third
presenter, stated the importance of financial aid in affording
needy or financially disadvantaged students access to higher
education (with the exception of community colleges) since over
75% of students at these schools depend on financial aid. The
proposed increase for Pell grants would help especially if there
was an increase in other scholarship opportunities. She also
shared the group's sentiment that there needs to be some
incentives for good students to enter the teaching field. (The
President-Elect asked if Pell grants had some sort of set-aside.
The group responded that Pell grants are based on need). Walter
Washington explained the need for affordable and decent campus
housing, which impacts both the campus environment and quality of
education.
The meeting adjourned on an amiable note at
approximately 3:45pm.
IV. CONCLUSIONS/RESULTS
The group across the board was pleased with the
obviously early timing of the meeting as well as with its
friendly and open tone. A number of the meeting participants
stated afterwards that they were indeed very happy to be included
in this way.
A follow-up note from the President-Elect (and of
course Secretary Cavazos) thanking the participants for coming
and pledging to work with them on the issues they raised would
perhaps be an appropriate thing to do.
V. LIST OF ATTENDEES
List attached.
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20270
The following are the issues that most interested the presidents
of HBCUs:
Minorities under-represented in fields of science and technology.
Reinstitute the Advisory Committee for Black Higher Education.
Housing for college students, and reformulation of how grants
for buildings are determined.
Loan defaults and more grants and fewer loans as financial aid to
minority students.
Do not want institutions penalized because their students do not
repay loans. The colleges did not make the loans and are not
permitted to collect on the loans. Penalized for circumstances
totally beyond their control.
Executive Order 12320 implemented.
White House to take the initiative in a national commitment to
black education, and take it from the Department of Education.
More research money for black universities.
More money for graduate schools because numbers of teachers and
PhD's are dwindling rapidly.
Want clearly articulated plans for the future of black colleges,
made by the administration.
NOTES FOR MEETING OF HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
January 11, 1989
Bobbie Kilberg, Public Liasion Director, Transition - Welcoming
remarks.
Dave Demarest, Communications Director, Transition - Overview of
transition and personnel hiring.
Lauro Cavazos, Secretary of Education - Knows problems and
strugggles of university presidents, and therefore shares common
ground with them "I have sat where you have sat". Pleased that
the President-Elect is having this meeting. Cavazos has been
seeking guidance on issues and problems for Department of
Education for the last few months. We must work together-
critical concern with drop outs - -too many people have no money
and access to higher education. How will we solve this? Need
improved communication. Cavazos tells audience he wants them to
tell him what their concerns are and what issues are important to
them. Wants participants in meeting to tell him how the
Department of Education 1S going to deal with Minorities in our
universities. Wants them to tell him their ideas on how to stem
the drop out problem- - get students to college but then they
need remedial education. Need to break down the walls that
separate colleges from primary and secondary school teachers. It
1S a national shame that 27 million people cannot read in this
country, and 50 million people are marginally illiterate.
Cavazos is very concerned with all groups of youngsters. 30% of
all students in elementary and secondary schools are Hispanic or
Black, and only 11% of all teachers are Hispanic or Black.
Cavazos says he is committed to Part B of Title III. The
colleges and universities need to speak for it. Must work
together on student defaults on loans Congress needs to have
colleges communicate with them. The nation has a fiscal
responsibility to look after these youngsters. Cavazos mentions
11
that February 20th is the due date for the Department of
Education mailing to the schools. Cavazos promises to answer
letters and return phone calls.
William R. Harvey, Hampton University - explains his moderator's
role etc.
Edward Fort, North Carolina A&T State University - very concerned
with under-representation of minorities in the fields of science
and technology given expectations of the next century. Cavazos
says this is a major item, training in science, math important
2
for our future -- teachers have to be pushed to teach science and
math.
willie Robinson, Florida Memorial College - Wants plans to
formalize mechanism for colleges and universities to give input
into the administration and Department of Education for
educational programs. Cavazos - "You tell me how I do that".
how we do that". "Give me some recommendations". Need better
system for communications. Cavazos says he wants to schedule
regional meetings and hear people concerns.
Gloria Scott, Bennett College - Wants Advisory Committee for
Black Higher Education. This, in the past, provided a research
base which gave the government information on black students.
she wants Cavazos to investigate 4 million dollar suffered by 11
black colleges. Wants information regarding the transition of A
to B in Title III which caused the loss of the 4 million dollars
to the schools.
Norman Francis, Xavier University- Interested in college housing
problems. Need money in budget for housing. Only 9 schools have
college housing programs. Important to keep kids in school and
for this need housing facilities, buildings, and updated
equipment. All the colleges have aging facilities -- built 20
years ago and more. Cavazos - have to work together to target
problems. This year the total education budget for the Federal
government is 21.9 billion dollars which represents only 7% of
the total amount of 330 billion spent on education in this
country. So that the control we have on expenditures 15
relatively small. However, we have persuasive powers--can bring
people together. He is committed to higher education.
Vice President-Elect Dan Quayle - Arrives at meeting. Education
is critical to the family unit, the environment, cities, rural
areas. The demographic facts are that by the year 2,000 85% of
new entrants into the workplace will be women and minorites, and
only 15% will be white male Caucasians. Have to give people
skills to develop their opportunities in the workplace. He 15
interested in education and how it relates to the entire economy
and George Bush's administration. He said that the meeting was a
great opportunity to expose any concerns they might have and to
see what the administration can do for them.
Donald Stewart, College Examination Entrance Board - Interested
in loan defaults. During the past 8 years there has been a
changing ratio of grants and loans - concerned about the
possibility of reversing this burden. Children of poverty
families need more help than they are getting. Is this possible?
Cavazos says that we do have budgetary considerations. Quayle
says that we need to get our priorities straight and
3
there has to be a sense of fairness, on the other hand the
deficit must be reduced. Have to consider overall loans and
grants and how they impact on budgetary constraints. We are
committed to making sure that anyone that wants and education
should have It and no one should be denied. Cavazos - re Pell
grants "We are responsible for closing that gap". The budget
went to President Reagan and tough decisions had to be made.
However, there was a shifting towards Pell grants. Had to reduce
programs and set priorities. "I think you will see some
changes".
Gloria Scott - Whole notion of forgiveness of a loan has to be
reconsidered, especially for those people who trying to go into
the teaching professions. Quayle answers that there is an
overall budgetary problem
Benjamin F. Payton, Tuskegee University - Does not want
institutions penalized because students cannot or will not pay
their loans.
Edward Fort- The burden of repayment has only been shifted in
part to universities and the students negotiate with lending
institutions. The universities should assure counselling to
students regarding their financial situation.
President-Elect George Bush - Arrives to meeting and greets
attendees and pledges to bring in a lot of good people into
government. He tells them that a lot of action is taking place.
and that he wants a broad based administration. Gloria Scott
mentioned that Bill Trent was the head of Negro United Fund. The
President- Elect had met Trent while at Yale in the 40's and was
extremely impressed. The President-elect's brother 15 involved
in the United Negro Fund and he fully supports them in their
efforts.
William Harvey - Thanks Bush for calling meeting and says that
Bush has a historical commitment to Black Colleges and
Universities. Wants Bush to issue a strong philosophical
statement in support of black colleges. In view of the fact that
by the year 2000 80% of the work force will be minorities and
women they want a White House initiative reiterated, and want the
White House to take the initiative in the commitment of the
administration to black higher education. Executive Order 12320
should be implemented. Bush turns to Sununu on this and says
"See what happens on the implementation of this order and who is
responsible for it".
Benjamin Payton, Tuskegee University - Wants an Advisory
Committee on Black Colleges and Education reconstituted. This
3
was an outside body appointed by the President but it was
abolished 4 years ago. single most important thing Bush could do
1S to reconstitute the body -- as a continuing review of black
education in this country. He also wants something done about
student loans defaults. In 1981 Tuskegee had the lowest default
rate in the National Defense student Loan area -- because the
college was on top of it at all times. Now the loans are coming
from lending agencies and the institutions of learning are
getting penalized for things they have no control over -- they de
not make the loans and they are not allowed to collect from
students. Also, the prior administration has been successful in
the areas of research, training and international programs.
Targeting funds to Hampton College and Norfolk State University
by enabling them to do work with the defense department acting as
a consortium. These institutions are relatively small and need
to work together. Transportation 1S another area in which the
colleges were able to work together, a leadership that will be
able to continue under the Secretary of Labor. These are some of
the things that are underway and that are very important. Some
projects have been allowed to drop that were very important and
need attention. Bush agreed to look into that.
S. Dallas Simmons, Virginia Union University - Opts for the
establishment of an endowment fund as a bridge between the span
of time the institution is awarded the grants and the date 1=
actually receives the grant. The period of time between the
grants awarded and when actually received should be narrowed
because the way grant awards are set up now the colleges are
suffering while waiting to receive them. This would help many
institutions because sometimes 3 or 4 years go by before the
institutions actually receive them. Bush says that they need a
whole review of this agenda and wants to know if this handled
through Cavazos.
Niara Sudarkasa, Lincoln University - Is concerned primarily with
financial aid, because with the exception of community colleges
higher education 15 not affordable by a large percentage cf
minority students. The government needs to give help to a large
number of its students. Well over 75% of students in the black
universities and colleges depend on financial aid from grants and
loans. There is a trend to rely on loans rather than on grants
for the financial assistance of minority students. She is
concerned that there should be a reversal of that trend-- she
wants the proportion of grants to be increased. There is a dire
shortage of minorities in graduate schools especially those
headed towards academic careers. She wants more money for
graduate schools. The numbers of minority teachers in primary
and secondary schools have been dwindling, but their numbers can
be increased by incentives to very good students. Bush wants
to know if any part of Pell grants is set aside so that minority
children can have a better shot at it? The answer is no.
Washington? Cheek? - You made a statement that you want a broad
based administration, and twice you have said that there 1S not a
prejudiced bone in your body. You have a young and capable VP
and you he has a bright future -- it would be good if he moved
around the country especially in black areas. We have good
Secretaries of Education and Health and Human Services and both
come from minorities and understand our concerns. This person
is concerned with housing and academic facilities. Colleges can
get money for everything but housing and physical facilities, and
therefore the insitutions of higher learning have deferred their
maintenance of their buildings. Wants Bush's personal attention
to affordable housing -- the students of these black colleges
are not able to pay high tuitions that would help cover the cost
of building new housing etc.
Leroy Keith, Morehouse College - We are honored to be here. What
is needed 15 a comprehensive plan for HBCU - wants a strong
philosphical statement with clearly articulated plans and goals
and wants to reconstitute the Advisory Committee.
Prezell Robinson, St. Augustine's College - Wants Bush to look
carefully at a seçment of our population that is dwindling in the
college education area - blacks, poor, and look at peripheral
problems that affect them. Please find a dramatic way to say
that this 15 a good nation and WE have a commitment to education
for all the people of this country.
Edward Fort - 80% of the Federal funds earmarked for research in
universities and colleges goes to 20% of institutions of higher
learning. Within that 20% there is marked absence of HBCU's.
Arthur Richards, University of the Virgin Islands - Attention has
to be paid to the relations of the United States and the
Caribbean nations. He especially mentions Eastern Carribean
Center in Granada. Many of the presidents and ministers of the
new Caribbean nations were students at the university in St.
Thomas. They are ready and willing to be good neighbors of this
country. Bush asks about Eugenia Clark and how does he get along
with her? Richardson says that they keep in touch.
ADDENDUM TO ABOVE NOTES ON CONCERNS
Luns Richardson, Morris College - Could not attend our meeting
because of fog in South Carolina. He expressd his concerns ovr
the telephone. He is primarily concerned that the present formula
used to grant funds for building housing are unfair to black
colleges. The present formula uses raw numbers of students not
able to afford housing as opposed to the percentage of students
in an institution unable to afford housing. The raw numbers
formula obviously benefits large universities who have more
students than smaller colleges do.

going to take this kind of initiative prior to inauguration.
Members of Cabinets are Minorities. Refocus of commitment to
education of his campaign. Strategic role of Black Colleges.
Mechanisms to bring quality of education such as the
reconstruction of the Advisory Committee for Black Higher
Education. This Committee should be properly staffed so that its
research can be the basis of a good policy for black education.
student loans are a serious problem, and urge that
lending institutions monitor their loans carefully. Institutions
should not be penalized because their students are not repaying
their loans.
Niara Sudarkasa - Meeting voiced concern with increased financial
aid for students, with exception of community colleges,
universities and colleges are not affordable. Over 75% financial
aid is in loans and not from grants, and she wants that trend
reversed. Student cannot maintain loans and then default because
they cannot keep up their payments. Feels strongly that there
need to be incentives to provide minority teachers at all levels.
Numbers of minority teachers has fallen dramatically. Need
incentive grants. Have a concern for graduate scholarships.
Fewer and fewer PHD's in minority sector. Wants Pell program
aimed at graduate students.
Dallas Simmons- said that meeting went very well and that
President-elect Bush is interested in our institutions and wanted
to know what we felt and indicated that there would be other
meetings. This meeting has created the beginning of an open
dialogue with the present administration for years to come.
Gloria Scott- Student loans-- strictures lifted for minority
students.
Need for basic research concerning black education and
problems concerning black colleges and universities. She
believes that the administration needs to explore impact of of
loss of 4 million dollars with the restructuring of Title III,
and she said that Bush would take it under advisement. She wants
the Advisory Committee on black education to be reinstituted SO
that they can have reports on black education and provide forum
for the possible solution of their problems and concerns.
Walter Washington, Alcorn State University - Pleased that
President-Elect saw fit to invite us to show his commitment in
minority education and to put the weight of the administration
behind it. The President-Elect also reiterated his assertion that
his administration is for all the people. Past administrations
have provided money for failing buildings and Washinton is asking
the government to do that today and said that Bush promised to
consider it.
Leroy Keith - Long term planning is needed to continue the
viability of black colleges. Black colleges will be viable and
important to provide skills needed for the 21st century. Wants
to resurrect Advsory Committee. He said that the President-
elect was " a very apt student and very sensitive to black higher
education. He gotted down notes and turned to alds and to Sununu
and said it should be considered. But whether this means that
anything will be done or not remains to be seen". "This meeting
was Bush's idea".

CHAPTER 1
TRENDS
Overview
This chapter describes trends in minority enrollment and degree
attainment in colleges at the undergraduate and graduate level. It
begins with a brief discussion of overall trends and projections in U.S.
population from 1950-2025. A key finding of that context setting
discussion is that:
The percent of the college-age population which is minority has
been increasing steadily since 1950 and is projected to reach
about the 40 percent level by 2025.
Within that context, trends in minority high school graduation and
enrollment in college from 1964-1986 are reviewed by analyzing data from
the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) and the U.S.
Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics'
Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS), and the Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Analyses of these data
indicate that among minorities, high school graduation and college
enrollment have increased significantly over the past twenty years.
Specifically:
High School graduation rates of Black persons 18 to 24 years
old have increased dramatically from 56 percent in 1967 to 76
percent in 1986. Rates for Hispanic persons have increased
from 52 percent in 1972 to 60 percent in 1986;
The number of persons 18 to 24 years old enrolled in college
has also increased from 1964 to 1986. During this period,
-
White enrollment has increased by 88 percent, from 3.3
million in 1964 to 6.2 million in 1986;
2
-
Black enrollment has increased by 410 percent, from
157,000 in 1964 to 801,000 in 1986;
During a somewhat shorter period of time,
-
Hispanic enrollment has increased by 147 percent, from
179,000 in 1972 to 443,000 in 1986;
The proportion of each group enrolled in college has also
increased from 1964 to 1986. For persons 18 to 24 years old,
-
White enrollment increased from 22 percent in 1964 to 28
percent in 1986;
-
Black enrollment increased dramatically from 8 percent in
1964 to 22 percent in 1986. This 175 percent increase is
a significant accomplishment when it is considered that
the size of the population cohort itself increased 60
percent during the same period; and
-
Hispanic enrollment increased from 13 percent in 1972 to
18 percent in 1986.
The percent of 18 to 24 year old high school graduates enrolled
in college,
-
Varied for whites, since 1967, usually between 31 and 35
percent;
-
Increased for Blacks from 23 percent in 1967 to 29 percent
in 1986; and
-
Increased slightly for Hispanics from 26 percent in 1972
to 29 percent in 1986.
However, despite these positive long-term trends, for both Blacks
and Hispanics, the percent of 18 to 24 year old high school graduates
enrolled in college was higher in 1976 (33.5 and 35.8, respectively) than
in any subsequent year. The causes of these high rates, or subsequent
decline from 1976 to 1980, cannot be clearly determined. Speculation
about the high rates include the possibility returning Vietnam veterans
were using G.I. Bill benefits, that there was an increase in the
attractiveness of college for minorities or that the increase was actually
3
a statistical anomoly. However, there are no data available to permit a
careful testing of any of these explanations. From 1980 through 1986 the
percentages of Black and Hispanic high school graduates enrolled in
college have remained relatively stable (28 and 30 percent, respectively).
An area in which there has been no significant change between 1976
and 1986 is in the distribution of minority students across the types of
IHEs:
Minority students generally attend two-year public institutions
more frequently than any other type of college (public four-
year, or private two- or four-year); however, both Black and
Asian students attend four-year public schools at about the
same rate as they attend two-year public schools.
When college enrollment trends among whites and minorities 18 to 24
years old are broken down by sex, different patterns emerge across the
groups. Since about 1973, the enrollment of white males has remained
relatively stable at about 29 percent. White females, however, rose from
about 16 percent in 1964 to 28 percent in 1986 -- an increase of 75
percent. Among Blacks, there is little difference over time in rates of
enrollment between males and females. Both groups increased from eight
percent in 1964 to about 20 percent in 1986. Among Hispanics, female
enrollment has risen by about 55 percent since 1972, while male
enrollment has increased only slightly (about 11 percent).
Completion rates among both whites and minorities in the college-
going population are appreciably behind enrollment levels. Analyses of
minority bachelor's degree attainment indicate that:
From 1964 to 1986 for Black students and from 1974 to 1986 for
Hispanic students the number of persons 20 to 24 years old
completing four or more years of college increased 175 percent
and 160 percent, respectively. For white students the increase
from 1964-1986 was 129 percent.
4
The percent of persons aged 20 to 24 years old among each
minority group completing four or more years of college has
also increased -- for Blacks from 3.2 percent in 1964 to 4.5
percent in 1986 and for Hispanics from 3.2 percent in 1974 to
4.0 percent in 1986. While these increases are encouraging,
these rates remain significantly below the white rate of
10.5 percent.
Further, data from the Department of Education's annual surveys
of IHEs indicate that the number of bachelor's degrees actually
awarded decreased between the 1976-1977 school year and the
1984-85 school year by two percent among Black students while
increasing 38 percent among Hispanic students, 84 percent among
Asian and Pacific Islanders, and 28 percent among American
Indian/Alaskan Natives. Among white students the number of
degrees awarded increased two percent over the same period.
Within graduate and first-professional study, the proportion of
enrollment comprised of minority students is less than the proportion of
undergraduate enrollment which is minority. These differences in overall
minority enrollment have been reduced somewhat over the past ten years,
primarily through an increase in professional school enrollment.
However, the changes are not uniform:
Overall graduate and first-professional enrollment went up by
16 percent from 1976 to 1986; white enrollment rose nine
percent, while total minority enrollment went up 44 percent.
The number of Black students enrolled in graduate school did
not increase from 1976 to 1986, however Black enrollment in
first-professional school rose 27 percent over the same period;
Growth in graduate and first-professional level enrollment
among Asian American and Hispanic students accounts for much of
the overall increase in enrollment at these levels between 1976
and 1986 - 21.6 percent of graduate level enrollment increases
and 42.3 percent of professional school enrollment increases.
For all groups, graduate degree attainment is appreciably lower than
graduate enrollment. In fact, when all groups are taken together, degree
attainment decreased between 1977 and 1985, while enrollment increased.
Data show that:
The number of master's degrees conferred on Blacks fell 34
percent from 1977 to 1985, while the number increased for
5
Hispanics (13 percent), Asian Americans (52 percent), and
American Indians (30 percent). Among whites, master's degree
attainment fell by 16 percent over the same period.
The decline in master's degree attainment among Blacks was
primarily in the fields of education, social/behavorial
sciences and humanities. During the same period, the number of
Blacks receiving master's degrees in business and science/
technology fields rose about five percent. The declines in
master's degree attainment among whites were in the same fields
as the declines among Blacks.
Doctoral degree attainment followed the same pattern, falling
for whites and Blacks, though not so steeply as for master's
degrees, and rising for other groups. Among whites the decline

It is important to review the expected trends in the U.S. population
as a context for this report's examination of the participation of
minorities in college. There are clear changes occurring in the makeup
of the U.S. population. While the total population currently is not
growing very rapidly - only about 11 percent growth is expected over the
next 35 years - its composition is changing. Those changes have
implications for college and university participation rates.
Between the end of World War II and the passage of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, nearly 70 million Americans were born. In the main, this
group, which was mostly white, has completed its postsecondary education
during a period of phenomenal growth and change in the composition of
postsecondary institutions. In 1946, for example, there were
approximately 1,800 Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) in the United
States. Today there are approximately 3,146. * In 1946, minority students

Congressman Hawkins, Mr. Rawl, Mr. Simon, ladies and
gentlemen, my fellow citizens.
Thank you for that introduction, and for the warmth of your

reception. Paul Simon once wrote a song titled, simply, "Old
Friends." I am delighted to see my old friends Bill and Vi Trent
with us tonight.
My association with UNCF got started back in 1948 when Bill
Trent, as the first Executive Director of the College Fund, came
to Yale and got me involved in the UNCF campaign. A decade
Who's ack whom,
later, he asked me to chair the UNCF Texas campaign. Yesterday,
(see file)
I understand, was his 79th birthday. Happy birthday, Bill.
Tonight, flanked by old friends and, in a real sense,
family, I am grateful for your company.
During my student days at Yale, I first saw the Fund invest
in higher education, and in America. Then, as now, it insisted
that excellence become a way of life, and higher learning a
bequest.
Quotes As an undergraduate, I came to grasp what Churchill meant
Quotable

when he said, "Personally, I am always ready to learn, though I
do not always enjoy being taught." Well, for nearly
2
UNCE
half-a-century, this Fund has taught, so that America could
founded
learn, the gentler impulses of mankind.
You have helped society's disadvantaged cast off despair and
poverty. And through such friends as Bill Trent and Frederick D.
attentiond
Patterson -- and, yes, how we miss him -- you have endorsed
liberty, opportunity, and the dignity of work.
But most of all, you have shown how conscience and education
can fulfill the promise of America: to right wrong, love
freedom, and demand equality for all.
For that, I congratulate you -- and yet, I challenge you,
too.
Black and white, together -- we know that America will not
be a good place for any of us to live until it is a good place
for all of us to live. Yes, let us reach beyond government, as
you have, to shape our Nation's character. But let us not ignore
government -- for it can nurture the decency which makes human
progress possible.
Most Americans, I'm convinced, believe that government can
be an instrument of healing. And they believe that there are
times when government must step in where others fear to tread.
My friends, I share those beliefs, and as President, I will
act on them.
For America, it seems to me, means pride -- individually,
culturally and racially. America means, in the words of Dr.
Bartletts
King, that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
p.909
everywhere." It means opportunity for those who need jobs and
3
who dream of owning homes. And it means the hope that tomorrow
will be brighter than today.
Think of America as a congregation and its members as
kindness, courage, service, enterprise. What can best inspire
them, and secure the promise of America? I say the answer is
education.
Education knows no barriers, accepts no limits. Education is
a ladder; it embodies self-respect, not dependency. Education
can give minorities a greater voice -- and make sure that voice
is heard.

E.O. 12320
As you know, in September 1981, President Reagan signed
see

increase its support of Historically Black Colleges and
Universities.
Our goal was to identify, and eliminate, unfair barriers to

fostered science, mathematics, and engineering programs and
curricula. And our larger HBCU work attacked the Four Horsemen
of the American Night -- illiteracy and inequality, indigence and

Great beginnings, yes. Now, let us build upon them. We have
done much. But there remains so much more left to do.
the
That is why, six weeks ago, I met with 26 Presidents of

development and merit scholarships, community college grants and

institutional planning. In each case, we explored Federal

government support of public/private partnerships, task forces,
conferences, technical assistance, and the use of Federal
research and development funds.
From that meeting, and others like it, came six new
initiatives which will help do, nationally, what you have done,
historically: Enrich education, so that education can enrich our
lives.
After listening to your Presidents, I proposed that Congress

HBCUs. We have put our money on the table. Now, I challenge the
private sector: The time has come for yours.

Secondly, if excellence breeds achievement, that excellence
should be rewarded -- in grade school, in high school, and at our
colleges and universities. Accordingly, I want Congress to
BBA
create a $500 million program to reward America's "merit schools"

P.
-- the schools which improve the most.

Thirdly, I want it to create special Presidential awards for

p.
the best teachers in every State.
BBA
And next, I want to see the expanded use of magnet schools
p.s6
-- to give pårents and students the freedom of choice.
I have also proposed a new program to encourage "alternative
BBA
57-58 certification" -- to allow talented Americans from every field to
p.
teach in America's classrooms. Consider that today, in many

creativity, talent, and imagination aren't welcome in our
Elizabeths-3400 919-
schools, it's time to change the rules.
And finally, through a new program of National Science
BBA
Scholars, I seek to give America's youth a special incentive to
54-55
P.
excel in science and mathematics. The National Science
NSF Boylar Foundation predicts a shortage of 400,000 scientists by the year
1357-7826
2000. Through excellence in education, we must, and will,
reverse that trend.
And, yet, all of this is not enough. It never is. As
Americans, we are never satisfied. We know that when a dream
comes true, it gives rise to even bigger and better dreams.
Let us work, then, to build a better America. And let us
begin by ending drug abuse.
6
My friends, drug abuse is America's Twentieth-Century
version of human slavery. It chains the spirit, and imperils the
ability to learn. To combat drugs, we must mobilize our
resources -- fiscal, moral, spiritual, economic -- and wage
BBA
unconditional war. And we must fight on every front: education,
p.66-67
treatment, interdiction, enforcement.
BBA
Last month, I asked Congress for an increase of almost $1
p.67
billion in budget outlays to escalate our war. This is a war we
must and will win. The future of our nation and the lives of our
children depend on it.
Earlier, I mentioned the promise of America: hope, pride,
opportunity, justice. A drug-free America fulfills that promise.
So, too, do Enterprise Zones.
Enterprise Zones are a pioneering initiative to establish a
number of Federally-designated zones -- or areas -- in
economically distressed communities. By providing tax breaks and
relief from regulation, they foster a climate where new
businesses can be created, and existing businesses expanded.
These businesses will create new jobs in these targeted
communities, especially for disadvantaged workers.

Already, 37 States have developed Enterprise Zone programs.

time we put them to work at the Federal level. Local
communities will benefit. But, more importantly, those who need
a helping hand -- the unemployed, the dispossessed -- will gain
new hope and opportunity: Not across town, but in their own back
yards.
7
Enterprise Zones can serve the most vulnerable among us.
Well, so, too, will child care, fair housing, and minority
business development. They build long-term opportunity -- the
kind of equality that lasts. In short, they will enrich the
quality of life for all Americans.
X
As part of our new child-care initiative, targeted at
BBA
low-income families, I have asked for $250 million more for the
P.
103-104
Head Start program. This Federal program must, and will, serve
increasing numbers of four-year-olds.
For working parents with children under four, we've proposed
BBA
a new tax credit to make child care more affordable. And we want
p.103
to make the existing child care credit refundable to families who
don't pay taxes. My proposal puts money in the hands of
low-income parents, limits Federal intervention, and increases
options -- a church can help; or grandparents; or professional
nursery. In short, we say: Let the parents decide.
To us, child care means options. Well, that is also true of
the inalienable right of every American to live where he chooses,
when he chooses, for as long as he chooses, within his means.
It's as simple as it sounds -- a simple matter of what's right,
and what's wrong. Under this Administration, you have my pledge:
We will vigorously enforce the Federal Fair Housing Act.
Leon Hampton Finally, four days ago, the Office of Minority Business

Enterprise, renamed the Minority Business Development Agency,
marked its 20th birthday. We will expand its involvement in the
free enterprise system. And we'll promote other programs which

Partnership Act, for instance. The Small Business
Administration.
Yes, hope, pride, opportunity, justice. I thought of those
see
qualities when I received a letter, recently, from a mother in
letter
New Orleans. She is 48 years old, and widowed. She has four
in
file
sons, and her family is in debt. But they are proud and
unafraid, because education is their ally.
The mother is pursuing a Masters Degree in Social Work; last
year, her eldest son graduated from the University of Chicago.
And the three other kids are college students -- including, she
wrote, "the baby of the family: a 6-foot-6, 240-pound freshman at
Grambling State University. "
"I implore you, " the mother asked, "to think about
people such as myself and my sons. " And then she added: "P.S.
We're black but optimistic that we can be a part of the American
Dream.
"
My friends, I want an America where this dedicated mother
does not have to choose between "black" and "optimistic." The
words are not mutually exclusive -- not a contradiction in terms.
And I want our policies to serve and encourage this family, and
millions like it everywhere. Because they reflect the promise of
America
and we must help make that promise a reality.
The promise of America says that by assuring equality, we
can enhance greater opportunity. It says that our destiny is not
divisible, and that we are children of the same humane and loving
God.
9
The promise of America demands that we aid our communities
and assist our neighbors. It rests less on promises and
politicians than on the primacy of the heart.
The promise of America knows neither race, creed, sex, or
color. It is collective and individual, and as boundless as our
history. The promise of America says that government is but a
custodian of America's future -- but that you -- the people --
you are her architects.

research leaped by 38 per cent, and by FY '87 research and
development comprised nearly half of all funding. Our White House
Science and Technology Committee fostered science, mathematics,
and engineering programs and curricula. And our larger HBCU work
attacked the Four Horsemen of the American Night -- illiteracy
and inequality, indigence and fear.

Great beginnings, yes. Now, let us build upon them. We have
done much. But there remains -- will always be -- so much more
left to do.
That is why, six weeks ago, I met with 26 Presidents of
HBCUs to probe where we are going, and how. We discussed faculty
development and merit scholarships, community college grants and
institutional planning. In each case, we explored Federal
government support of public/private partnerships, task forces,
conferences, technical assistance, and the use of Federal
research and development funds.
From that meeting, and others like it, came steps which I am
proud to announce tonight, and which will help do, nationally,
what you have done, historically: Enrich education, so that
education can enrich our lives.
I refer to a new Executive Order which I will sign next
week, replacing Executive Order 12320, and which will be
effective immediately.
Specifically:
O
This Order will create a President's Board of Advisors
on Historically Black Colleges and Universities to reside within
the Department of Education.
Our board will be composed of representatives ot HBCUs,
X
other institutions of higher learning, of business, finance,
private foundations, and of secondary education. It will review
the annual report of Federal aid to HBCUs. And it will increase
technical assistance and business and foundation support.
5
Secondly, more than ever, this Executive Order will
link HBCUs to the private sector. How? Through your presence on
the Board of Advisors. And through placing HBCUs on the agenda of
the newly created Office of National Service, which will lead my
Administration's community and national-service programs.
We should work together; under this Executive Order, we
will. For example, after listening to your Presidents, I proposed
BBA
that Congress fund $60 million over four years in endowment
p-60-61
matching grants for HBCUs. We have put our money on the table.
Now, I challenge the private sector: The time has come for yours.
Our Executive Order will facilitate this approach, and spur
non-Federal involvement in technical assistance and funding.
This Executive Order will also bring more of your
students into Federal internship programs. Our effort will be
headed by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. And
I've asked that Office to also approach Congress about increasing
its number of HBCU interns. With both the executive branch and
the Congress joining hands to increase opportunities, we can give
minority students a special experience today that will enrich
their lives tomorrow.
O
Fourthly, our Board of Advisors will find ways to
support the long-term faculty endowment plans of each HBCU. For
the pursuit of excellencé student, faculty, and
administrative--is central to America.

excellence should be rewarded--in grade school, in high school,

I
AM DELIGHTED TO SEE MY OLD FRIENDS BILL AND Vr TRENT WITH
US TONIGHT, My ASSOCIATION WITH UNCF GOT STARTED BACK IN 1948
WHEN BILL TRENT, AS THE FIRST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COLLEGE
involved an
FUND, CAME TO YALE AND GOT ME TO HELP RAISE MONEY ON THE CAMPUS
FOR THE UNCF CAMPAIGN,
asked
A DECADE LATER HE GOT ME TO CHAIR THE UNCF TEXAS CAMPAIGN,
WE'VE STAYED IN CONTACT THROUGH THE YEARS WITH BILL: AND
BARBARA AND I HAVE BEEN SUPPORTERS AND VOLUNTEERS WHEN CALLED
UPON,
BILL AND V1 ARE RETIRED NOW IN GREENSBORO, N.C.
YESTERDAY, Inderstand
MARCH 8 WAS HIS 79TH BIRTHDAY,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILL.
My FATHER WAS ALSO INVOLVED WITH UNCF AND MY BROTHER
JONATHAN HAS BEEN ON THE UNCF BOARD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND,
OF COURSE, I'm PROUD THAT BARBARA HAS SERVED ON THE BOARD OF THE
MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. You MIGHT SAY THAT UNCF AND ITS
CAUSE IS A FAMILY AFFAIR FOR ME, FOR BARBARA AND ME, AND
JONATHAN, IT IS A CAUSE CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS,

Quality Education assisted by a
national fund-raising drive
The UNCF operates through 28 regional offices
scattered throughout the nation. With the help of
thousands of volunteers, the Fund conducts an an-

to corporations, foundations, alumni, organizations
and the general public.
UNCF exists solely for its member

The fund-raising activities of the UNCF are exclu-

Re:
UNCF Speech
A few comments.
Page 1, graf 4, line 5 It seems to me that we ought to
seize every opportunity to increase the resonance of the "kinder,
gentler" phrase. So I would add "kinder."
2,2,1 What are we "challenging" the audience to do? I
think we should challenge the audience to work with us to enact
Enterprise Zones, fight drugs, etc. If we are going to do this,
however, we should rethink the speech somewhat.
2,7,1 I don't think the repetition of "think" works
well rhetorically. I would start the second sentence with
"And its members
"
2,7,4 The rhetorical question ("What agenda?") is fine,
but the follow-up sentence is too coy. The President may know
the answer, but the answer is not self-evident because the took
the pledge to be the E.P. I would simplify this passage into:
"I say education is the answer
"
5,5,1-2 The phrase "if excellence breeds achievement"
throws the listener. The sentence would read better if it simply
said "My friends, excellence should be rewarded
=
I
would
move the "excellence breeds achievement" phrase to the fourth
graf of page 6, where talk about dreams, etc.
6,4,5 I don't think this is a very inspiring quote. Not at all.
6,5,1-2 Same point I made in the first comment re: page 1.
Why not turn "make America a better place to live "
into "Building
a Better America"?
6,6,1-2 Picking up on the "challenge" we issued on p.2;
here's where the President, after telling the audience what he's
going to do for them, should turn the tables and ask for something
in return.
