WASHINGTON, D. C. —
Congressman Parren J. Mit
chell (D-Md.), a leader oi the
Congressional Black Caucus,
has attacked the traditional
economic theory, called the
Phillips Curve, which Justiiies
nigh rates oi unemployment as
as anti-inilattnn DoUcy.
Mitchell called the theory
“an archaic and specious justi-
lication tor the basic structural
deiiciences ot the American
econ<Mny."

Banking, Currency and Hous
ing Committee. Mitchell said
the American economy is
capable ot sustaining longterm
growth with low rates ot
intlation and with tuil employ
ment it the country has a
careiullv planned monetary
tiscal mix.
Mitchell's recommendations
include a reduction in the
growth 01 the money supply by
the Federal Reserve System in
combination wiUi programs
targeting skill development,
training and employment to
correct the problem ot struc
tural unemployment. Such a
policy, he said, would reduce
present intlation and prevent
intlation in the future.
He said cooperation is
neeiied between President
Carter, the (ingress, labor,
big bUiUness and the American
people to achieve lull employ
ment growth without intlation.
“Temporary imbalances in
the overall employment rate
may occur, d^pite best et-
lorts," he said. “However,
when the history ot our
economy depicts constant dis
parity, as the disproportionate
burden ot unemployment pre
vailing in the black commun
ity, we must develop ap
proaches to correct the long
run deticiencies."
