National Urban League president Vernon Jordan and Mrs. Coretta Scott King were among a number of Humphrey-Hawkins backers who met with the president before he began his two-week vacation. Jordan said afterwards, "I'm satisfied that as a result of this meeting that we're going to have the aggressive support of the White House for this piece of legislation." "I think the issue is whether the Congress is going to provide true leadership," said Jordan. Carter declined to support the bill during the 1976 campaign, but finally agreed to back it several months ago after changes were made by theMLs.frack^^ 1.
