HEW has not. and they continue to push a 20yearold report which the author himself has repudiated. The great error that our Government has committed for so long is enforcing. or trying to enforce. a social equality that can only develop naturally. Whether the Government calls it a quota system. and minority ratio plan. a goal. a timetable. or "numerical representation." what it boils down to is treating some people more favorably and others less so because of their skin color. the nationality of their parents. or the gender of their chromosomes. The amendment which my colleague from North Carolina and I offer today specifies this: That none of the funds for Labor/HEW may be used to mandate or enforce quota systems. Secretary Califano himself has assured us that his Department does not support racial or sexual quotas in employment or education. I respectfully ask for my colleagues support of this idea and of this amendment.
