Bill Brewster said that
the Small Business Adminis
tration would provide' 90 per
cent bonding to minority
firms under the program. Al
most before he got the words
off his lips businesspeople
were challenging the effec
tiveness of SBA and the
bonding provision.
Raleigh . businessman
Raymond Williams could be
heard, along with several
others, whispering .unquoK
able comments; Williams
after the meeting that he had
unsuccessfully attempted to
get bonding through SBA on
several local projects.
Asked how he would
know when projects were
approved and for , what acti-.
vities and when the bids were
to be in, Goldsboro busi-.
ness person Dan Allen was
told that minority business
people jvould, as 6ther busi
ness people, be ' informed
through requiremenls for ad
vertisements in local papers. .
The OMBE participants wer?i;
told black business arid pro
fessional organizations would
also be a source of informa
tion for the businesses. .
. Concerning abuses or flat
out refusal of locaj govern
ments to comply with the
law, as has, been done in the
Equal Employment ; Oppor
tunities guidelines passed in
1968, by Congress, represen
tatives . sakf enrbrcemenf
would , be nearly Imposst
ble. Ms., Smith said that
OMBE , and EDA staffing
to , monitor the program
would hot be increased fron
normal work loads. Lack of
staff has been cited as the
major problem with enforce
ment of the Congressional
requirements which prohibit '
LP's: The Entertainer (Roy Clark), Live and
in Concert (Four Tops), Let It Be (Beatles).

city," : state and -.r country
governments from discrimina-
r ting because, of race and re
ligion. To the surprise of. many
of the participants, nearly all
of the cities . and counties
that will participate in the
program have already sub
mitted their applications to
the Department of .Labor
and have already chosen their
specific activities. Representa
tives of the OMBE office will
play the role f keeping the
minority, business ; informed
Undr provide technical, assist
" tance td businesses to take
advantage of opportunities
that might exist, A recent
request of the state OMBE
office indicated that state
officials did not know grant
amounts and activities pro
posed by many major cities
and counties in the state. :
But those major cities
and counties for which the
OMBE office did have infor
mation were the ' following:
The City of Durham has
applied for Sl'jdOOjDOO; Wil
mington, $1,242,000; Winston-Salem,
$1,612,000;
FayettevMe $252)00; for
syth County, $567,000;'and
Asheville, $855,000.,, "
Nick Gerald, an official
of Fuller Oil Company to
Fayettevflle raised questions
. about regulations on joint
venture, which became ;, a
boondoggle for ; white bust
; nesses under tne SBA 8-A
program. Under that program
SBA negotiated .many, non
competitive contracts with
federabgencies for supposedly '
minority businesses which
i, ;were:apa)rofprLwhite
tela
audited by the EDA and con
trols? wou)d be put on the
program to prevent abuse'.
" Gerald is very familiar
with the SBA 8-A program.
In fact, his firm is one of the
first minority firms in 'the
state to get an f ward of a
multi-million dollar con
tract to provide oil to the
Fort Bragg military base.
J. D. Lewis, an efficial
at Capital Broadcasting Com
pany in Raleigh,' said that
the program was "better than
nothing," although MIt has a
lot of room, for improve
ment." Many of .the other
businesspeople from Fayette
vflle, Durham, Cary, Greens
boro and other cities left a
little, confused, trying to
. figure it all out. One told a
reporter that "This might be
another '40 acres and a
mule'; going to try to get the
. mule even though I don't
get the forty acres."
... nesses.
Defining 'minority busi
nesses' Bill Brewster said the
term referred to those of
which "at least 40 per cent
are minority group members;
and, in the case of publicly
. owned businesses, at least 51
. per cent of the stock must be
owned by . . 4 . . blacks,
Spanish-speaking, Orientals
. .Indians, Eskimos or Aleuts."
Ono black contractor, H.
T. Barlett of Greensboro, re-
f:ted his ' experiences under
rTfhe : program's predecessor
which began last fall. He said
that lack of venture capital
limited him from making a
' profit in a trucking contract,
so that $12,000 of $28j000
anticipated profit was spent
"to sub-contract the work that
he could not complete to
white - or in the lingo of
Xlt minority businesspeople
r .majority tirms. :
, ' r One of the problems that
wjnany of the businessmen face
is knowing when, city and
county governments - are
applying tpr funds and when
they are advertising for bids
on projects. North Carolina
law requies in General Statute
Chapte 143-129 that a con
tract with local government
be attained by bids which
are secured by bid bonds. iA
major problem . is that , Al
though minority a business
.. people can get low bids, or,
ln the caset of the tFW pro
' gram contracts given tip
them, marry cannot get bond
ing to guarantee that the
job will be done.
