In an aflidavit, Mrs. DeLee states; “Since enrolling ray children into previous all-white schools In Dorchester County Harleyville-Ridgeville H igh School District No. 3,1 have en countered a number of critical problems, abuse, harrass rner.ts; including firing of guns into my house by white agita tors, beating of my children and children of other Negroes while school officials stood by without giving” them any aid.” These incidents have occured between 1964 and 1967.

Mr. Speaker, 1 join with my colleagues., Mr. Stokes and Mr. Clay in an examination of the Nixon Administration six months from its inception, I must begin by noting that his promise to end the war, made during last year’s campaign, is still unfulfilled. Black American are deeply concern about this war, not only because of the young men who fight and die there, but be cause of their relatives who suf fer at home because we do not have the money so desperate ly needed for domestic pro grams. Black Americans voice grave concern about the United states ’ continuing military, economi and moral support of a repressive, dictatorial gov ernment: in South Vietnam which has caused some to wonder whether similar tactics might be used in the United States, If this administration truly be lieves in freedom and democ racy, it is doing a poor job of proving it, not only to black A merica, but to the world, by continuing its support of a for eign government which has shown little or no interest in ireedom, justice, or democ racy.
