NAACP opposes Meese
President Reagan’s
nomination of Edwin
Meese to succeed William
French Smith as attorney
general is bad news for
Blacks, women and other
minorities, according to
NAACP director Ben
jamin Hooks.
By this action, Mr.
Reagan is “putting
another foe of civil rights
in charge of the agency
responsible for protecting
minorities against denials
of equal protection of the
laws. Under Mr. Smith,
the U.S. Justice Depar
tment amassed a
retrogressive record in
civil rights and other
areas,” Hooks said.
“Mr. Meese’s move
from the White House to
the Justice Department
presages an even more
hardlined policy and ac
tion on civil rights—one
that will be blind to court
precedents and history.
“Mr. Meese has been a
key architect in the
development of the ad
ministration’s conser
vative ideology and
programs. He has proved
by everything he has said
and done that he is the
anti-civil rights
proponent and an enemy
of progressive social
policy. He has also been a
primary instigator in
many of the Reagan Ad
ministration’s efforts to
evade and reduce protec
tion of minorities and
women in employment
and education.”
Hooks said the
NAACP strongly op
poses the nomination of
Mr. Meese as attorney
general. “If he is permit-

ted to head the Justice
Department, his action
and policies will have an
even more devastating
impact on Blacks, women
and every other group
which depends most
heavily on the Federal
Government for protec
tion of basic con
stitutional rights.”
The NAACP is calling
upon its branches and
supporters throughout
the country to urge their
senators to vote against
confirmation of Ed
Meese as attorney
general.
