Busbee will name blacks ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov.- elect George Busbee, declaring that state government must have the involvement and support of the black com munity, said Wednesday that he will appoint a black to his senior staff. Busbee, in a speech prepared for the biracial Atlanta Hungry Club, pledged more opportuni ties for blacks in state government. He said if state government is to function effectively “it must have the involvement and support of the black community.” Busbee said Gov. Jimmy Carter had made “considerable progress” in hiring blacks and he hoped to continue making “meaningful advances” in the coming years.

He admitted, however, the project could be involved in making “some plans for the future.” The office, opened last week, is headed by former Carter executive secretary Hamilton Jordan, director of the commit tee. The group has already filed a campaign financial report with the General Accounting Office in Washington. The committee was set up 10 days ago to encourage Carter to run, Jordan said. He said its main purpose is to “get ready,” depending on what Carter decides. “We’re getting in some small stuff (contributions),” at the office, which Jordan said is being financed through dona tions. In his role as chairman of the national committee, Carter campaigned in several states for Democratic candidates prior to the recent national election and he has been widely mentioned as a contender for the Democratic nomination in 1976. Jordan was executive direc tor of the national campaign committee under Carter. Others working in the Atlanta office include Steve Chandler, a former researcher for Carter who also worked for the national committee, and a secretary.
