NEW YORK CITY,
N.Y Benjamin L.
Hooks, executive director
of the NAACP, voiced
cautious optimism after
meeting with President
elect Ronald Reagan
Thursday at Blair House
in the nation’s capital.
“President-elect
Reagan and I did not see
said the
former Federal Com
munications Com
missioner, “but I was
glad to hear that the
President-elect is
committed to guarding
the civil rights of all
Americans even to the
point of enforcement
similar to measures
taken in the Eisenhower
Administration.”
Hooks explained that
he and the President
elect disagreed on the
effectiveness of busing to
reach the goal of equal
educational opportunities
for blacks as well as
whites.

Appearing before
Reagan in his capacity as
chairman of the black
leadership Forum, Hooks
urged: “Jobcreation to
bring more blacks and
other minorities into the
workforce; increases in
the number and size of
minority-owned
businesses; and re
invigorated commercial
activity in predominantly
minority communities.
“Thes are objectives
we believe we can
achieve together within a
general policy of
economic renewal, which
would concentrate direct
and indirect public
subsidies on communities
in which private
economic activity has all
but disappeared...and
some of us are looking
carefully at the
‘Enterprise Zone’
Proposals from this
perspective. That policy
would especially en
courage creation of the
small businesses that
generate most new
private-sector jobs.
“We believe that
major roles should be
played by neighborhood
and community-based
groups capable of helping
to crate jobs, products
and services-and of
brokering private and
public resources from
outside the target
communities.”
Among other things
urged by the Black
Leadership Forum were
full employment and the
implementation of the
Humphrey-Hawkings
Bill; extension of af
firmative action
programs to all areas
where federal spending is
involved, including set
asides; appointment of
blacks to policy-making
and judicial positions in
the Cabinet and ad
ministrative agencies, as
well as to the U.S.
Supreme Court; ex
tension of the Voter
Rights Act; maintenance
and extension of the
minimum wage; support
of majority rule and end
of apartheid in South
Africa; economic and
moral support of Third
World nations; federal
funds to be targeted on
the basis of economic
need; public works aimed
at relieving poverty;
national health in
surance; the federal
government as the final
guarantor of civil rights
and the rebuilding of

cities to improve health,
housing, transportation
and social improvement.
The Forum also
urged support for
maintenance of CETA
and the funding of
comm unity-based
organizations as well as
quality integrated
education for every
American; aid to black
higher education and
support to the Justice
Department’s im
plementation of all laws
and regulation.
A special request was
made by the Black
Leadership Forum for a
continuing dialogue with
the Executive Branch to
maintain an ongoing
input toward decisions
bevng made that affect
blacks and poor.
The meeting with the
President-elect capped a
two-week long stint of
ongoing lobbying and
staff work as well as a
meeting with President
and Mrs. Carter on
December 4. At that
meeting, Hooks joined
Urban League head,
Vernon Jordan, and Rev.
Jesse Jackson in ironing

severe political problems
for President Carter in
that if the out-going
President vetoed the
appropriations bill a
similar rider might be
attached later to a con
tinuing appropriations
bill of far larger scope,
where a veto would ef
fectively stop Federal
government activity
altogether.
“The strategy
decided upon was to
threaten a veto if the anti
busing amendment was
not withdrawn,” ex
plained Hooks. The
political ploy proved
effective and the rider
was vetoed separately
from the bill and was not
overridden, although
Senator Jesse Helms
claimed that he had
sufficient votes to
override the veto.
Monday, December
1, Mr. Hooks found time
to grant an interview with
Dean Brelis of Time
Magazine on the expected
impact of a Republican
controlled Congress.
Besides lobbying for
fair housing and against
anti-busing riders, Hooks
and his NAACP staff
spent many hours in
conference developcng
strategies aimed at
enhancing NAACP ac
complishments during
the 1980 s, gearing up for

While bustling
amongst the corporate
heads attending the
December 1 festivities,
Mr. Hooks made sure
that the NAACP success
story on civil rights
reached the ears of the
movers and shakers of
commerce and industry
in preparation for a
planned wide-skale
Corporate contribution
drive coming in the first
quarter of 1981.
Hooks also found
time to be a member of a
dinner committee which
honored Lane Kirkland,
former president of the
United Auto Workers,
and present a special
medallion to Thomas
Murphy, retiring
chairman of General
Motors, at two affairs
while in Washington. The
NAACP executive
director was one of eight
black leaders attending
the Murphy tribute.
Hooks commended
Murphy for his part in
kicking-off the first
NAACP corporate
donation dinner of 1975.
Abe Venable, director of
Urban Affairs at General
Motors, joined Murphy in
arranging that appeal for
contributions for then
director, Roy Wilkins.
The primary attempt
at raising new funds
garnered some $362,000
for the NAACP.
Murphy, 65, retires
from his GM post
January 1. His final act
before the Board of
general Motors was to
offer a report on what
measure could be taken
by the auto pcompanyto
increase the number of
its dealerships run by
blacks. Mr. Hooks told
the audience of 150 civil
rights and business
leaders at the Murhphy
luncheon at the
Washington Hilton that
“except for President
Carter, I know of no other
white man in this nation
able to gather together
such a contingent of black
leaders.’”
