SHERIDAN FRUIT COUPON
Last m onth members of the Oregon Assembldy for Black Affairs (O ABA)
met w ith Gov Neil G oldschm idt in Salem to discuss issues concerning
Black Oregonians
Calvin O L Henry president of O A B A . said he along w ith O ABA vice
president Robert Phillips. W illie Richardson, Treasurer. Shirley Minor,
Chair, Employment Com m ittee Dr W ilbert Gamble, Chair, Education
Committee, and Mu hael Clark discussed a wide range of issues that are
im portant to Blacks and other m inorities during the meeting w ith Gold
schmidt
The issues discussed w ith the Governor were part o f the O ABA resolu
tions agreed upon during its ,987 Call to A ction Leadership Conference
and the 1986 Oregon Black Political C onvention The concerns include lack
of business and econom ic developm ent in Black com m unities, adult and
youth joblessness, edu< ation, health services, energy and transportation,
and housing to name a few
Henry praised Goldschmidt for inviting O ABA to meet w ith him and dis
cuss his adm inistration s objectives and the concerns o f Blacks in the state
Henry said the O ABA wishes the Goldschm idt adm inistration success, and
that his organization is ready to assist the Governor in the "O regon Come
b a ck."
Henry said although the meeting w ith Goldschmidt was a positive one,
O ABA voiced its concerns to the Governor about the A ffirm ative Action
Advisory C om m ittee he established The Advisory Com m ittee will evaluate
the Governor s A ffirm ative A ction office and develop specific recommend«!
tions for expanding and im proving the state's program
Henry said, "T h e tim e lines for this raises questions about G oldschm idt’s
seriousness concerning A ffirm ative A ction and involving Blacks and others
in his adm inistration " Henry feels such a com m ittee should have been
established during the transition
"S ta te laws establish the Director of A ffirm ative A ction in the office of
the Governor O ABA feels that the Governor should appoint his Director
of A ffirm ative A ction im mediately, Henry said He said the position can
not be moved to the Executive Departm ent w ith o u t Legislative action, and
that the Director of A ffirm a tive A ction should have the powers o f the
Governor behind him or her for the A ffirm a tive A ctio n program to be sue
cessful.
Beside the issue of A ffirm a tive A ctio n , O ABA members listed four other
areas o f concern to G oldschm idt that they hope to resolve
