RE:

QUESTION r can "HEW, whit
RE SCHOOL GUIDELINES
QUESTION:
It his
There have been newspaper reports that you and Secretary Finch
are undertaking a change in the HEW school guidelines. Is
there any substance to these reports and, if so, do you intend
to relax school guidelines?
ANSWER:
The newspaper accounts are accurate insofar as they report that
there have been continuing discussions at the Cabinet level on this
subject. However, we have come to no conclusions. There is
a very significant, landmark lawsuit presently before the court
in South Carolina. We consider the decision in this case to be of
great importance. It is the first case in which HEW educators,
acting as friends of the court, assisted the court in developing
a plan to eliminate school segregation.
Depending on the outcome of the case both the Department of Justice
and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare feel that this
court action may provide brand new avenues for activities toward
the elimination of school segregation.
Accordingly, we plan to make no changes at this time.
