Yeah. Yeah. What gives you any reason to think that your SAn Francisco area council forgotten yield? Well I feel that we understood much better today. Our two positions Mr luciano made it very clear what his responsibilities were. And we had for the first chance to talk

00:00:30.220 - 00:00:45.450

with him about our concerns in a unique position of san Francisco found itself. I think in the one issue in terms of political participation we've got a clarification that we felt that we could live with and is within the president's standards of the san Francisco program.

00:00:45.840 - 00:01:04.460

On the other three issues regarding the salaries of disadvantaged persons and the standards for the selection of employment. We we we felt that Mr liu revenue understood our concerns and was willing to take this information back to sergeant tribal with the hopes of making some adjustments.

00:01:05.650 - 00:01:18.670

I think I should make clear at the beginning that Mr Shriver has the obligation under the law of stating policies for this program and that's in fact what he's done in this case, that I have the obligation of carrying out Mr Shriver's policies within the western

00:01:18.670 - 00:01:33.050

region and that's what I've done in this case. Mr Shriver has never suggested that his policies were frozen, that they were chiseled anywhere in concrete or anywhere else, and most of them are under review on a periodic basis and depending on the kind of criticism or

00:01:33.050 - 00:01:50.120

comment that's made on a regular or closer basis in this area, he's been looking at Camp Memo 23 which is one issue since it was issued, partly because there was some response from the field in terms of action agencies throughout the United States, What I want

00:01:50.120 - 00:02:03.830

to make sure is that he incorporates or has a chance to look at the detail that's been provided by san Francisco. One thing I also want to make clear is that no single community action agency really has the authority to make that policy unilaterally and that

00:02:03.830 - 00:02:23.340

mister Shriver has that responsibility and he has to, on the basis of what he understands to be the problems and his problems or the policy requirements nationally has to state uh what that office position is and I have to carry it out entirely. It's entirely conceivable.

00:02:23.340 - 00:02:34.350

He's been uh as I say, he's been reviewing this particular memorandum for about the last 4.5 months. I'm quite sure that a great many of the issues have been raised here were raised by other communities as well. Thank
