Subscribe To T1 Black Caucus Urges Massive National Full Employment Efforts WASHINGTON, DC.— "Jobs must be available for every person willing and able to work," stated Congressman Parren J. Mitchell, (D. Md ), Chairman of the 16 member Congressional Black Caucus, "and the Administration's en dorsement of the Humphrey Hawkins Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act is a key step in achieving the goal. The Caucus is pleased to see that the legislation which it has championed for several years is now a national priori ty.'· "It must be followed, how ever, by a national effort to mobilize massive support to pass this legislation when it is considered by the Congress in 1978," the Caucus Chairman urged. "We do not view Adminis tration endorsement of the bill as the end," he said, "but rather as the beginning of a long struggle. Even as the bill has been debated for three years, unemployment has re mained at intolerably high levels, and the nation must now focus all of its resources on this single pervasive and heretofore uncontrollable pro Diem. Congressman Augustus F. Hawkins, a member of the Caucus and co-author of the bill, said that "with Adminis tration endorsement of the Full Employment Act, we must now mobilize our efforts to produce a groundswell of support in every congression al district across the country to ensure enactment when the new session of Congress con venes in January 1978." The legislative proposal a greed to by the President mandates the achievement of 3 percent adult, and 4 percent overall, unemployment within five years. These figures are clearly set forth in the legisla tion as an interim goal, with the movement to full employ ment levels to follow as soon as practicable thereafter. In addition, all efforts are to be made to reduce and then eliminate the differential un employment levels which e xist for teenagers, minorities, women and other labor force groups. Congressman Mitchell said that the bill "would niakTa matter of law and national policy economic policies that would concentrate on econo mic growth and job creation while guarding against exces sive inflation. We cannot af ford to take the attitude that gradualism in economic grow - th will solve the most serious social ill facing the nation today," Congressman Mit chell continued, "and the poli cy goals of this bill would benefit the consumer and the businessperson as well as tho se who are unemployed.'' The Humphrey-Hawkins bill provides a mechanism to co ordinate the various economic policies such as interest rates, tax policy, job creation pro grams, overall budget policies and national priorities so that they will be focused on produc ing fail to focus resources in that direction and are fre " quently subject to political and economic forces adverse to the full employment goal. Congressman John Conyers, who along with Congressman Hawkins co-chairs the Con gressional Black Caucus Full Employment Subcommittee said that "we recognize that there is a diversity of thought as to what should be embodied in full employment legislation, but he urged that the debate "focus on how to ensure econo mic, URBAN AND SOCIAL policy that will result in full employment, rather than in _ POSSIBLE flaws in the bill." The bill makes clear that job expansion shall take place primarily in the private sec tor, but is unwavering in the commitment to provide a last resort job through the public sector to meet employment goals established in the act. congressman mucneii called on the business community to join in a major cooperative effort to create jot* at every level. "The continuing rate of ex cessively high unemploy ment," Congressman Mitchell concluded, "demands the comprehensive approach en visioned by the Humphrey Hawkins bill." The Caucus members urged all groups committed to the ideal of a peaceful, productive and fully employed society to join with them in working for passage of the Full Employ ment Act.
