The lettars AOIP originally stood for Assault On Iliteracy Program-a networking and coordinating framework for assaulting the root causes of Illteracy (I.e., lack self stesm and-self-efficacy). However, two things were soon recognized. One thing recognized was that, whenever these root causes 7ev, 25, 1994 were assaulted, we simultaneously were engaged In a process for assaulting almost all the other Ills Imposed most heavily on the Black community (i.e., drugs, other crimes, needless forms of welfare, teen pregnancy, etc.). The other thing recognized was that It was Impossible to assault Illiteracy at its core among many Black Americans without simultaneously addressing those other Ills. That is when the amazing and long-needed Goals for The Year 2000 and Beyond (on reverse) were developed, and the name changed to Assault On Illiteracy Process, or simply AOIP.

Mr GO Expanded and Annotated Presentation of AOIP's Goals for The Year 2000 and Beyond to coincide with the America 2000 number one affective-oriented educational objective of Properly Preparing Students for Cognitive-Oriented Classroom Readiness [The Educational-Enhancement Mission of the Assault On Illiteracy Process (AOIP) is to serve as a catalyst through which Black-led organizations have coalesced in a collaborative manner to properly prepare our students for the cognitive-oriented (or classroom) domain of learning by instilling in them good enough attitudes about themselves and about their surroundings or communities so they will then have the pride-filled CAN-DO attitude so essential for being motivated to want to learn. And; this attention as to how students view themselves and/or their communities is known (in educational circles) as the affective-oriented domain of learning, which-for simple understanding by the average person-has been referred to by Former U.S. Secretary of Education Terrel Bell as the community-building aspect. Also, because many affective-oriented (and community-based and largely-imposed) predicaments still have not been remediated to a degree sufficient to properly prepare many Black Americans for classroom readiness, AOIP was formed to fulfill this presently-neglected preparatory focus.] [Preparatory Affective-Orjented Goal for Black Educator Groups.] 5. Eliminate the need for unemployment entirely from within Black America by having skill training and equitable opportunities for all. 1. Create support systems and/or devices (like AOIP's The AD- VANCER-both for pàrallel and simultaneous use in every class- 6.

[Preparatory Affective-Oriented Goals for all Organizations] 7. Own and support fully in a primary way all of the means of communications which are working totally on our community- [Because the long-ago-imposed (and still-unremediated) negative building behalf such as those cooperating fully with AOIP by self images of Black (and similarly-situated) Americans is so providing guaranteed regular publicity at the national or local level extensive, deep-seated and costly to all in America, the following at all times, as well as carrying all of AOIP's "affective-oriented" are affective-oriented Preparatory Goals for which all Black-led learning materials. organizations are assuming remediative responsibility for these largely-exogenously-(an often-deliberately-)imposed conditions. 8. Have all corporations and other entities that directly or indirectly Thus, surely, these organizations (and this coalition) need and benefit from the Black community to deal equitably with the Black deserve a reasonable proportion of all educational funding for this community as set forth in our Credo For Justice and Equity. long-overdue affective-oriented preparation set forthas essential in America 2000 and elsewhere.] 9.

AOIPs overall objective is to begin immediately to transform the discrete communities within BlackAmerica, through pride-instilling "logetherness, into such Shining Oases of Hope that there will be a greatly lessened desire, or "felt need, to abandon support for Black-led organizations that opened economic and other doors, Black- owned businesses and professional entities, Black churches, etc., by inordinately integrating and/or invading the communities and social and other institutions developed (and for) other ethnic groups.

PRESERVATION PHOTOCOPY CYSTIC FIBROSIS AVIS Celebrity Tennis Gala IX The goal of the Celebrity Tennis Gala is to help fund on-going research projects aimed at curing cystic fibrosis, the number one genetic killer of children and young adults. Since the discovery of the CF gene in 1989, research has progressed at an unprecedented rate, culminating in the recent reports of success in the genetic therapy trials begun on CF patients in April of 1993. At this remarkable juncture, the opportunity to invest in real promise for the 30,000 children and young adults with cystic fibrosis has never been better.

Herman Assistant to the President & Director of Public Liaison Executive Office of the President 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 JAN 27 Dear Ms. Herman: Lois and I hope that you and your spouse or guest can join us for an informal sports evening on Saturday, February 26, 1994. The occasion is the Ninth Annual Avis/Cystic Fibrosis Celebrity Tennis Gala at the McLean Racquet & Health Club. This has traditionally been a small, fun-filled evening complete with round-robin doubles tennis and dinner in a very relaxed environment. You do not need to be a tennis player to enjoy this unique event. All of the proceeds will be used to fund ongoing research projects aimed at eliminating cystic fibrosis, the number one genetic killer of children and young adults. These research efforts are beginning to pay off dramatically as is evidenced by the enclosed recent Washington Post story announcing the Food and Drug Administration's approval of Pulmozyme, the first new treatment for cystic fibrosis in 30 years. Enclosed is a complimentary invitation for you and a guest. I know that this is an extremely busy time for you, but if you are looking for a relaxing and enjoyable evening and are tired of black tie dinners in the basement of a Washington hotel, and an opportunity to support a very worthy cause, it's a natural! Please let us know by sending in the enclosed response card. I hope to see you there. Sincerely, John Enclosure Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Chapter 6931 Arlington Road. Second Floor Bethesda.
