job development, employment counseling

Committee on Employment of the
Handicapped Today, it is carried out
through a partnership with each state
Governor's Committee on Employment of
the Handicapped.

to the Federal and State laws requiring

practices.

class members for inspection as stated above. A general
description of the class compromise settlement follows:

interest bearing bank account for disbursement to qualified
class members. Disbursement of the fund will be undertaken

its available flight attendant positions.

terms of the consent decree, and WESTERN has agreed to
assist in this process by adopting various procedures for
reporting to that agency.

tives shall receive in settlement of their individual claims the
following sums: WILLIAM LEWIS

this jurisdiction it will have the power and authority to
amend, modify and alter the terms of the decree to effectuate
the basic purpose of the decree of promoting the federal
policies outlined in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
