The only way to eliminate discrimination is to see that race. religion. ethnic origin. or sex are never used as job criteria for hiring or for not hiring. Only criteria which are directly related to the specific requirements of a job ought to be used in hiring or promotion. History is littered with examples of the use of quotas as Instruments of exclusion and discrimination. The families of many of my fellow Members were told "Irish need not apply." Such quota systems were wrong then. They are wrong now. We must do everything in our power to insure that every American has an equal opportunity to improve himself.
