most disastrous effect upon the
Black community. There can
be no new jobs created in a
static economy and past record
reveals that the job pool
actually declines during a
period of no growth.
“Black unemployment rates
are at their highest level in 10
years. Black teen-age
unemployment has reached
such frightening levels that it
has become the subject of
numerous magazine and
newspaper articles.
“Therefore, the NAACP
understands that it will be the
Black community who will
suffer most from the
President’s energy policies. The
most recent experience of
environmentalists in their
pursuit of stricter
environmental laws has
demonstrated how adverse the
effect can be on the local job
market when careful
consideration of the
consequences are neglected.
“The NAACP also called
into question the
Administration's complex
energy, tax and regulatory
proposals. While its report does
not oppose regulation or
de-regulation, it did raise
questions as to which approach
was best and most compatible
with the needs for new energy
supply development.
“The NAACP recognized
that the National Energy plan
as presented by the
Administration contained no
imput from America’s minority
community.
“It was in light of the
conditions listed that the
NAACP's Energy Committee
report was adopted.
