Digitized from Box 8 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
MARCH 19, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President today announced the designation of Ethel Bent
Walsh, of the District of Columbia, as Vice Chairman of
the Equal Employment Commission. She succeeds Luther Holcomb
who left the Commission in September of 1974 when his term of
appointment ended.
Mrs. Walsh has been serving as a member of the Commission
since January 19, 1971, and will serve as Acting Chairman during
the vacancy in that office.
The purposes of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
are to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or
national origin in hiring, promotion, firing, wages, testing, training,
apprenticeship, and all other conditions of employment; and to promote
voluntary action programs by employers, unions, and community
organizations to put equal employment opportunity into actual operation.
