Mr. Speaker. we see this divisiveness in ballot initiatives. we hear it in stump speeches by some politicians. and we witness it even in some of the legislation that is coming before us. Moore and more. people are blaming minorities. immigrants. and women for their woes or their fears. In my home State of California. we will have a ballot initiative in November on Whether or not to do away with all affirmative actions programs. This initiative follows closely on the heels of the Governor of my fair State asking the regents of the University of California to abolish all affirmative action administration programs.
