T hreadgill, Carm en l.aguardia Tonya and sch o o l Those N ic o le Duana NEW YORK— N AACP Executive Director Benjamin L. Hooks deeply deplored the series o f events leading up to the resignation o f Ambassador Andrew Young as the U.S. per manent representative to the United Nations and felt that it was equally regretable that President Carter had accepted it. Ambassador Young, he felt, had been "m ade a sacrificial lamb for circumstances beyond his c o n tro l." Due to the immense implications o f these developments. Hooks there fore issued a call for a conference with Black leaders. Joining him in this c a ll, are Vernon Jordan, president. National Urban League; F ra n k lin H. W illiam s, president, Phelps-Stokes Fund; and Dr. Ken neth B. C la rk , Psychologist and Educator. In Ambassador Young’ s meeting with Arab representatives on July 26th, Hooks said the Ambassador’s "encounter did not change—neither was it intended to alter— U.S. policy regarding U.S. feelings w ith the P .L.O .” Hooks said that Young was merely exercising “ his initiative to achieve the directed goals o f his superiors” so he " is deserving o f high praise rather than the insulting excoriations to which he has been subjected." The following is the full text o f the NAACP statement in the aftermath o f President Carter’ s acceptance o f "T he N AACP feels strongly that Mr. Young has been made a sacrifi cial lamb for circumstances beyond his control and therefore finds it ex ceedingly d iffic u lt to accept these developments as unavoidable. “ Consequently, the N AA C P has issued a call for a meeting o f Black leaders to discuss and evaluate the impact o f M r. Young’s resignation on the questions o f American foreign policy, Black-Jewish relations and the relationship o f Blacks with the Executive Branch. Hopefully, from this meeting a consensus w ill be reached regarding further action in cluding the p ossibility o f a sub sequent conference with principal Jewish leaders.” The Morns Marks House 1501 SW Hornson Street Portland 97201 Telephone 227 2 6 8 8 Fullw iley, Felicia Robertson.
