                                                  Hex-Dump Conversion

1. Education
-- Access to college
         -- Pell grant, HOPE
         -- Mend it, don't end it; criticize Hopwood, 209
         -- Real problem -- what happens on the front end; every child can learn if given
         opportunity...
-- Failing inner city schools
         -- Standards as necessary first element
         -- Then, giving students the tools to meet them: reading, teachers and technology,
         accountability for failing schools.

2. Economic opportunity
-- Individuals and communities outside the economic mainstream
        -- CD banks, E-zones, brownfields, CRA
-- Continuing employment discrimination (Texaco, Denny's); EEOC backlog
        -- Stepping up enforcement efforts.
        -- Calling on companies to institute policies ensuring equal employment opportunities

3. Housing
-- Travesty of public housing
        -- Safety (cops/anti-gang measures).
        -- Vouchers and other tools of empowerment.
-- Discrimination in housing -- perhaps our biggest discrimination problem -- segregrated
neighborhoods leading to segregated schools, businesses, etc.
        -- Partly government (HUDIDOJ enforcement of Fair Housing laws)
        -- But lots in our hearts (accepting each other as neighbors)

4. Welfare/jobs
-- Continuing underclass, living apart from world of work
        -- Emphasizing value of work
        -- Creating more jobs, improving access to child care and transportation
        -- Guaranteeing the minimum wage
        -- Challenging business to do its share
-- Cutting off immigrants from safety net
        -- Restore benefits

5. Crime
-- Ravages of crime/systematic underprotection of minorities (segregation of safety)
       -- More cops, fewer guns, anti-gang and -drug programs, prevention efforts
       -- Continuation of Summit -- reaching out to at-risk kids

6. Ideals/models
-- There are places in society where race relations work -- where we at least come close to

                                          Hex-Dump Conversion

-- Refer to military: policies ensure opportunity -- enable members of minority groups to make
enormous contributions to society.
-- Every part of America should be like that -- every employer should adopt this model to get the
most out of its workforce; every profession should construct itself along these lines; every citizen
should learn from it about the duty we all owe one another.

OPPORTUNITY 1. Housing -- make all public housing safe (COPS announcement) -- vouchers 2. Capital -- CDFI, CRA -- E-zones 3. Environment -- Brownfields 4. Health care -- AIDS? Genetic screening? -- kids health 5. Crime/safety -- afterschool programs -- more cops to hot spots 6. Welfare/jobs -- WR, immig fixes; min wage -- child care EDUCATION 1. Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion 1. Education -- Access to college -- Pell grant, HOPE -- Mend it, don't end it; criticize Hopwood, 209 -- Real problem -- what happens on the front end; every child can learn if given opportunity... -- Failing inner city schools -- Standards as necessary first element -- Then, giving students the tools to meet them: reading, teachers and technology, accountability for failing schools. 2. Economic opportunity -- Individuals and communities outside the economic mainstream -- CD banks, E-zones, brownfields, CRA -- Continuing employment discrimination (Texaco, Denny's); EEOC backlog -- Stepping up enforcement efforts. -- Calling on companies to institute policies ensuring equal employment opportunities 3. Housing -- Travesty of public housing -- Safety (cops/anti-gang measures). -- Vouchers and other tools of empowerment. -- Discrimination in housing -- perhaps our biggest discrimination problem -- segregrated neighborhoods leading to segregated schools, businesses, etc. -- Partly government (HUDIDOJ enforcement of Fair Housing laws) -- But lots in our hearts (accepting each other as neighbors) 4. Welfare/jobs -- Continuing underclass, living apart from world of work -- Emphasizing value of work -- Creating more jobs, improving access to child care and transportation -- Guaranteeing the minimum wage -- Challenging business to do its share -- Cutting off immigrants from safety net -- Restore benefits 5. Crime -- Ravages of crime/systematic underprotection of minorities (segregation of safety) -- More cops, fewer guns, anti-gang and -drug programs, prevention efforts -- Continuation of Summit -- reaching out to at-risk kids 6. Ideals/models -- There are places in society where race relations work -- where we at least come close to Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion -- Refer to military: policies ensure opportunity -- enable members of minority groups to make enormous contributions to society. -- Every part of America should be like that -- every employer should adopt this model to get the most out of its workforce; every profession should construct itself along these lines; every citizen should learn from it about the duty we all owe one another.

      From the unsolicited idea department as you follow up on the race issue:
I think Washington should have a monument or a museum on slavery that
tourists visit as they do the other monuments.   I believe some
African-American group is trying to raise money for one, along the lines
of the Holocaust Museum, but they haven't raised much.   A museum on
slavery just opened in Detroit and has gotten very good press. vietnam
proved you can do successful and healing memorials on difficult topics.
The apology approach worked well for radiation and Tuskegee, but now it is
coming under a microscope and people are belittling it. A memorial or
museum is a similar idea, but it has an educational dimension and a more
lasting effect. As such a major part of our country's history that still
has repercussions today, slavery seems conspicuously absent here in DC --
other than through the Lincoln Memorial, of course, which tells it from a
particular perspective.

Just a thought as you guys go forward on this; please feel no need to
respond.
