FINAL
HUD WOMEN'S WEEK
L'ENFANT PLAZA
DECEMBER 18, 1975
THE INSCRIPTION AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL
ARCHIVES TELLS US THAT "THE PAST IS PROLOGUE."
AND so IT IS IN THE WORLD OF WORKING WOMEN.
FOR, WHAT WE CELEBRATE, AS WE OBSERVE HUD's THIRD
ANNUAL WOMEN'S WEEK, IS NOT ONLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PURSUE MORE REWARDING CAREERS -- BUT THE PAST HISTORY
OF "WOMEN'S WORK" THAT GIVES US SUCH "OPPORTUNITY" IN
THE FIRST PLACE.
CERTAINLY, WE FEEL AT TIMES THAT WE ARE "BOXED IN"
BY TOO MANY EXTERNAL PROBLEMS -- AND THAT THE "OPPORTUNITY"
FOR ADVANCEMENT IS MORE TALK THAN FACT,
WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO CASES, IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY
THE HARD REALITIES OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION THAT
GOVERN THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR JOB, YOUR FAMILY --
AND YOUR OWN PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE IN BOTH CATEGORIES.

AND, IN THAT LIGHT, IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO SEE
WHERE THE HISTORY OF WOMEN'S ACHIEVEMENTS MAKES ONE BIT
OF DIFFERENCE AS FAR AS YOU, PERSONALLY, ARE CONCERNED.
BUT I THINK IT IS HELPFUL TO LOOK AT YOUR OPPORTUNITIES
AT HUD TODAY IN CONTEXT OF WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.
To BEGIN WITH, THE ESSENTIAL WORK IN THE TRENCHES,
DONE BY GENERATIONS OF WOMEN WHO PRECEDED US, DOES RELATE
TO US, PERSONALLY.
WE CAN COUNT THAT RELATIONSHIP, NOT ONLY IN THE
BARRIERS OUR PREDECESSORS HAVE CLEARED AWAY FOR US, BUT
IN THE MOUNTING HISTORY OF PROOF THAT WOMEN CAN ACHIEVE
THEIR HIGHEST GOALS NO MATTER WHAT THE ODDS,
WOMEN HAVE MOVED FROM "NOWHERE" TO "PROMINENCE" IN
SCIENCE, BUSINESS, ARTS AND THE PROFESSIONS THROUGH MANY
DARK YEARS OF PREJUDICE.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING NOBODY CAN PUT DOWN AS "TALK" --
BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON STATISTICAL "FACT".
-3-
AND, THE HISTORY OF "WOMEN'S ACHIEVEMENTS" ALSO TELLS
US ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING -- TO WHICH EVERY WORKING WOMAN
CERTAINLY CAN RELATE. You KNOW YOU ARE CAPABLE OF ADVANCEMENT.
BUT IT IS A SLOW, HARD PROCESS,
FOR WHAT YOU ARE UP AGAINST IS THE SAME KIND OF
"TRENCH WORK" THAT CONQUERED THE BARRIERS FOR ALL WOMEN,
ONE BY ONE OVER THE YEARS,
AND, WHILE YOU MAY NOT THINK ABOUT IT -- OR EVEN HAVE
TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT -- AS YOU ENLARGE YOUR OWN HORIZONS,
YOU WILL BE DOING THE SAME JOB FOR THE YOUNG WOMEN WHO WILL
FOLLOW YOU AS YOUR OWN PREDECESSORS DID FOR YOU,
AT HUD, THE GROUNDWORK HAS BEEN LAID IN MANY INSTANCES
BY WOMEN FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE AHEAD.
THE AIM OF HUD's FIRST WOMEN'S WEEK IN DECEMBER 1973,
WAS TO MAKE EVERY WOMAN AT HUD AWARE OF THE FEDERAL WOMEN'S
PROGRAM AND TO HEIGHTEN INTEREST IN DEVELOPING PRACTICAL
IDEAS FOR IMPROVING CAPABILITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT.
-4-
IN APRIL OF 1974, HUD ESTABLISHED ITS UPWARD MOBILITY
PROGRAM --- SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO DEVELOP AND TRAIN WOMEN
FOR HIGHER POSITIONS IN SIMILAR OR DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONAL
PURSUITS.
THE SIGNIFICANT FEATURE OF THE PROGRAM, IS THE UPWARD
MOBILITY TRAINING AGREEMENT -- IN WHICH THE EMPLOYEE DOESN'T
HAVE TO MEET CIVIL SERVICE STANDARDS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY
FOR SELECTION AS A TRAINEE FOR A PARTICULAR POSITION.
THE CRITERION FOR COMPETITIVE SELECTION IS DEMONSTRATED
POTENTIAL OR ABILITY TO DO THAT JOB. THE WHOLE OBJECT OF
THE TRAINING IS TO ALLOW THE TRAINEE TO REACH THE CIVIL
SERVICE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THAT JOB --- RATHER THAN THE
OTHER WAY AROUND.
THE AIM OF HUD's SECOND WOMEN'S WEEK IN DECEMBER 1974
WAS TO EMPHASIZE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION BY HUD EXECUTIVES AND
MANAGERS -- AND TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC POSITIONS DESIGNED
TO BRIDGE THE GAP FROM CLERICAL OR TECHNICAL JOBS TO
PROFESSIONAL CIVIL SERVICE CAREERS.
-5-
TODAY, UPWARD MOBILITY POSITIONS RANGE ACROSS THE
BOARD, AND THEY ESTABLISH IDENTIFIABLE AND PERMANENT
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES.
VIRTUALLY EVERY HUD OFFICE HAS PROPOSED SOME POSITIVE
ACTIONS TO CORRECT THE IMBALANCE OF ITS WORK FORCE -- AND
PARTICULARLY THE CONCENTRATION OF TOO MANY WOMEN AND
MINORITY MEMBERS IN GRADES GS 1 THROUGH 6, AND TOO FEW
IN GS 12 TO 15 POSITIONS.
THUS, WE MOVE INTO OUR THIRD ANNUAL WOMEN'S WEEK
WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HUD's EXECUTIVES AND MANAGERS
ARE AWARE OF EXISTING INEQUITIES AND ARE SEEKING
CORRECTIVE ACTION.
THAT BRINGS US TO THE THIRD YEAR IN OUR DEVELOPING
PROGRAM, -- WHICH IS YOUR PERSONAL CAREER PLANNING AND
TRAINING THAT WILL EQUIP YOU TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF
YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES AS HUD's ADVANCEMENT
HORIZONS EXPAND IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
-6-
IT SOLVES NOTHING IF WE DESIGNATE UPWARD MOBILITY
POSITIONS TO ENHANCE YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCEMENT,
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN THE TRAINING
PROGRAM THAT NECESSARILY LEADS TO THAT POSITION.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD APPROPRIATELY BE CALLED
IN PERSONNEL WORK, BUT YOUR PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM
MIGHT BE CALLED "TAKE THE NEXT STEP HIGHER" -- WHICH IS
SOMETHING LIKE THE OLD FASHIONED SYSTEM THAT MOVES YOU
FROM ONE GRADE TO ANOTHER IN SCHOOL,
IT'S TOUGH TO GO TO SCHOOL AS AN ADULT -- OR TO
SEEK TO LEARN A NEW JOB ON THE JOB, I KNOW, BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS. IT'S TOUGHER
STILL, WHEN YOU'RE LEARNING, WORKING, RUNNING A HOME
AND RAISING CHILDREN -- ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT, NOT ONLY IS THERE "OPPORTUNITY" IN EDUCATION
AT EVERY LEVEL OF SCHOOLING, "ADULT EDUCATION" HAS
BECOME A WAY OF LIFE FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE ADVANCING
IN GOVERNMENT CAREERS IN WASHINGTON TODAY.
-7-
AT HUD, AS AT EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY, "CAREER
COUNSELLING" IS AS MUCH A PART OF PERSONNEL SERVICE
AS FILLING JOBS AND KEEPING PAY RECORDS.
EMPLOYEE COUNSELLING AT HUD IS COUPLED WITH
SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITIES, UNDER OUR OWN ROOF, FOR
IMPROVING THE JOB CAPABILITIES AND SKILLS OF THOSE
WHO WISH TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS AND ADVANCE THEIR
EMPLOYMENT STATUS.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE HUD BUILDING WE HAVE A "Do
IT YOURSELF" LEARNING LAB THAT OFFERS A VARIETY OF
COURSES FROM COMPUTER MATH TO SPEED READING. THIS
TRAINING IS AVAILABLE TO YOU, AS HUD EMPLOYEES, AT
NO COST, AND YOU CAN TAKE THE COURSES DURING WORKING
HOURS ON AN INDIVIDUALLY SCHEDULED BASIS.
EVENINGS AND SATURDAYS, YOU CAN TAKE COURSES IN
GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS RIGHT HERE IN THE SOUTHWEST AREA
OFFERED BY BOTH THE GEORGE WASHINGTON AND AMERICAN
UNIVERSITIES, THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE'S GRADUATE
SCHOOL, AND OTHER WASHINGTON BASED INSTITUTIONS.
-8-
THE SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY AT 6TH AND EYE STREETS,
OFFERS DEGREE PROGRAMS EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS.
You CAN EVEN QUALIFY FOR THE HUD CAREER EDUCATION
PROGRAM IN WHICH THOSE WHO ARE SELECTED GO TO SCHOOL
FOR A FULL YEAR TO STUDY IN URBAN AFFAIRS -- DURING
WHICH TIME HUD PAYS ALL EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES, PLUS
FULL SALARY AND MOVING EXPENSES,
WE ALREADY HAVE WOMEN PARTICIPATING IN THE
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND'S "OPEN UNIVERSITY" -- WHICH
ALLOWS YOU TO ACCUMULATE CREDITS THROUGH SELF-STUDY,
WEEKEND SEMINARS, AND OTHER FLEXIBLE TIME SCHEDULING
PLANS,
WE HAVE HUD WOMEN IN OTHER COLLEGE PROGRAMS --
INCLUDING CENTRAL MICHIGAN U., UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND ANTIOCH COLLEGE -- WHICH OFFER THE SAME
IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES TO THE BUSY WORKING WOMEN: CREDITS,
INCLUDING CREDITS FOR YOUR WORK, AND LIFE EXPERIENCE;
TIME-SAVING SCHEDULING; AND MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY,
-9-
IN ADDITION TO COURSES OFFERED BY, OR THROUGH HUD --
THERE ARE INNUMERABLE PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
TO THE QUESTING ADULT STUDENT,
THE PRIMARY ADVANTAGE OF ALL SUCH "MAKE UP" STUDY
PROGRAMS IS THAT YOU CAN ESTABLISH YOUR OWN PACE, BASED
ON THE REALITIES OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL SITUATION AND ON THE
DEMANDS YOUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES MAKE ON YOUR TIME.
THE RECORDS ABOUND OF WOMEN WITH ADVANCED DEGREES
WHO INITIALLY WENT TO AN ADULT NIGHT PROGRAM WITH THE
SOLE INTENTION OF FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL,
BUT, IN FACT, IT IS NOT EVEN NECESSARY TO ATTEND
A FORMALLY CONSTITUTED SCHOOL IN ORDER TO EXPAND YOUR
PERSONAL OPPORTUNITIES. AMERICA, IS A LAND OF SELF-
TAUGHT PIONEERS WHO HAD LITTLE OR NO ACCESS TO FORMAL
EDUCATION. AND WE HAVE SOME FINE CONTRIBUTORS HERE
AT HUD WHO HAVE FOLLOWED THAT PATH.
-10-
WE CAN GAIN REAL INSPIRATIONS IN REVIEWING THE
HISTORY OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY, THE RICH HERITAGE
OF LEARNING AND ATTAINMENT LEFT BY THE EARLIEST BLACK
LEADERS -- THROUGH TO THE NOBEL PRIZED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING -- GIVE POSITIVE TESTIMONY
TO THE POWER OF SELF-EDUCATION.
FOR, NOT ONLY DID THEY TEACH THEMSELVES IN ORDER
TO BETTER THEMSELVES -- THEY TAUGHT THEMSELVES BECAUSE
THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO LEARN. AND THEY TAUGHT
THEMSELVES, IN THE FACE OF FORCEFUL OPPOSITION --
BECAUSE EDUCATION WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD TRULY
MAKE THEM FREE.
TODAY, WE CANNOT SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM THE HISTORY
OF DISCRIMINATION NOR THE EVENTUAL VICTORIES, OBTAINED
ONE BY ONE -- THAT BRING US TO DECEMBER 18TH, 1975.
THE MILESTONES NOTED IN OUR FEDERAL WOMEN'S PROGRAM
BOOKLET -- "A POINT OF VIEW" -- RECORD THE PROGRESS OF
WOMEN UP TO NOW.
-11-
THEY DO NOT BID US TO GO BACK AND REPEAT HISTORY ALL
OVER AGAIN. BUT THEY DO GIVE US A POINT OF REFERENCE AS
WE MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE, TAKING THE BEST POSSIBLE
ADVANTAGE OF THE PROGRESS OTHERS HAVE MADE FOR US -- AND
DEVELOPING OUR OWN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SPAN
OF ACTIVE TIME AHEAD OF US,
As THE HEAD OF THIS FEDERAL AGENCY WHICH HAS ALREADY
TAKEN A LEAD IN ADVANCING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOTH MINORITY
GROUPS AND WOMEN, I FEEL A PARTICULAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR
SEEING THAT HUD DOESN'T FALTER IN ITS DETERMINATION TO
KEEP OUR PROGRAMS GOING,
As A WOMAN IN GOVERNMENT, I HAVE A SPECIAL PRIDE IN
THE INALIENABLE RIGHT OF WOMEN IN THE FEDERAL SYSTEM TO
COMPETE AS EQUALS AMONG EQUALS; THE RIGHT OF ALL HUMAN
BEINGS TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, INDIVIDUALLY
DETERMINED.
I STRESS "EDUCATION AND TRAINING" TODAY, BECAUSE IT
MAKES NO SENSE FOR US TO FORCE OPEN THE DOORS UNLESS WE
HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL GROUP OF PEOPLE TO WALK THROUGH,
-12-
I EMPHASIZE THAT PHRASE "SUBSTANTIAL GROUP," BECAUSE
IT'S A SUBJECT ON WHICH "MINORITY GROUPS" -- INCLUDING
WOMEN -- MOST OFTEN FIND THEMSELVES SHUT OUT.
WITH THE FACT OF "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY" WE ARE COMING
TO THE END OF "TOKENISM". As "ACCEPTANCE" GROWS, so GROWS
THE REALIZATION THAT WE CAN AND WILL COMPETE FOR HIGHER
POSITIONS ON THE BASIS OF OUR ABILITY.
IT IS TRUE THAT WE CAN LOOK AT ANY JOB, AT ANY LEVEL
IN OUR NATION, AND CLAIM THAT THERE IS A WOMAN CAPABLE OF
FILLING IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED TO DEVELOP GREATER
NUMBERS OF TRAINED CAPABLE WOMEN TO COMPETE. FOR WITHOUT
THAT KIND OF "EQUAL-NESS" IN NUMBERS, WOMEN WILL CONTINUE
TO BE "EQUAL" IN NAME ONLY.
THE "MYTHS" ABOUT WOMEN ARE FRUSTRATING: THAT WE
DON'T REALLY HAVE TO WORK; THAT WE QUIT WHEN WE BEAR
CHILDREN; THAT WE QUIT OUT OF BOREDOM; THAT WE TAKE MORE
SICK LEAVE; THAT WOMEN DON'T LIKE WOMEN SUPERVISORS --
AND ON AND ON.
-13-
WE KNOW THAT SERIOUS STUDIES HAVE EXPLODED ALL OF
THOSE "MYTHS" -- BUT THE REALITY REMAINS. AND THAT IS,
ALTHOUGH WOMEN ARE IN THE MAJORITY BY NUMBERS, ONLY ABOUT
14% OF THEM HOLD EXECUTIVE OR MANAGERIAL POSITIONS IN
GOVERNMENT -- AND ONLY ABOUT 13% IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY.
So, WE HAVE A GENUINE CHALLENGE,
BUT THE "GOOD NEWS" IN THOSE STATISTICS IS THAT TODAY
WE REALLY HAVE A REAL CHANCE TO INCREASE THOSE PERCENTAGES.
My GOAL IS TO INCREASE THOSE PERCENTAGES HERE AT HUD.
THE NOVEMBER PROGRESS REPORT ON OUR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
PLAN SHOWS THAT OUR HUD MANAGERS PLAN TO FILL 30 POSITIONS
TO THE UPWARD MOBILITY PROGRAM FOR FISCAL 1976.
I WILL BE ASKING HUD's ASSISTANT SECRETARIES TO COMMIT
TO INCREASE TO 40 THE UPWARD MOBILITY POSITIONS FOR FISCAL
1976.
FORD
-14-
I HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD BY ESTABLISHING ONE UPWARD
MOBILITY POSITION IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY AND WILL
ANNOUNCE ANOTHER SUCH POSITION IN MY OFFICE BEFORE THE END
OF FISCAL 1976.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR WOMEN'S FUTURE AT HUD --
IS THAT WE ESTABLISH UPWARD MOBILITY AS A HEADQUARTERS
"HABIT".
IT IS MY HEARTFELT HOPE THAT THE WOMEN'S PROGRAM AT
HUD WILL SET A GOVERNMENT-WIDE EXAMPLE FOR MAKING THE
MOST OF THE GREAT WEALTH OF TALENT AND BRAIN-POWER POSSESSED
BY WOMEN.
IT IS A DOUBLE-PRONGED HOPE -- IN WHICH THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR INCREASING WOMENS' CAPACITY IS MATCHED BY THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR MOVING INTO MORE RESPONSIBLE JOBS WHEN THOSE ADDED
CAPABILITIES CAN BE DEMONSTRATED.
-15-
AND, I BELIEVE THAT THAT HOPE WILL BE REALIZED BY
REASON OF OUR INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION TO TAKE FULL
ADVANTAGE OF EVERY EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
THAT COMES ALONG.
My HOPE IS NOT BASED ON MY COMPASSION FOR WOMEN
AND MINORITIES, ALONE,
WE HAVE COME TO A NEW AGE OF UNDERSTANDING -- THAT
THE WORLD ITSELF WILL NOT SURVIVE UNLESS IT UTILIZES
EVERY RESOURCE IT HAS,
WE NEED THE FULL USE OF HUMANITY'S COLLECTIVE
BRAIN-POWER -- AND THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THOSE WHOSE
POWERS TO CONTRIBUTE HAVE BEEN SQUANDERED IN CENTURIES
OF SHAMEFUL DISCRIMINATION, DEPRIVATION AND ABUSE.
THANK YOU, AND MY SINCERE WISHES TO ALL OF YOU
FOR A JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON AND A NEW YEAR OF PERSONAL
FULFILLMENT.
FORD
