well, I hope the consequences are not are not as dangerous as they potentially could be. I think all this summer, the disadvantaged communities of our state have demonstrated their responsibility, their leadership has been responsive and responsible. We've not had the kind of conflagrations in California this

00:00:17.940 - 00:00:37.150

year that that have come about and many of the other parts of our nation, it's unfortunate and to be deplored and hopefully sometime in the future can be corrected through one means or another. Senator Mosconi Mr Andrew has just criticized the Senate rather heavily for being

00:00:37.160 - 00:00:53.400

provincial and outlook for defeating his bill that would would have provided up to $10 million dollars for temporary jobs this summer for minorities. Is this a provincial house you've moved into? No, I think I think the speaker has been somewhat intemperate. I think there are times

00:00:53.400 - 00:01:07.400

when the Senate has stuck too close to the rural ideas that have governed the Senate for so many years at a time when I think we ought to be concentrating on more of our urban problems, but I think that they have their interests to protect and

00:01:07.400 - 00:01:25.260

their interests are sometimes not as dramatic as ours in the urban community, and we ought to give due credence to their obligation to represent their constituents as well. I felt that this rather small gesture here was could be indicative of the fact that we were appreciative

00:01:25.740 - 00:01:44.880

of that responsibility and concern with the root causes, which which contributes to the spread of the conflagrations like we've seen this year in Detroit and Newark. I think that it's unfortunate that the Senate saw fit today and not to pass this measure because the price, This

00:01:44.880 - 00:02:03.420

is considerably smaller than the price we paid for the watts uprisings in 1965. It is, however, indicative of the inability of the Senate this year to grasp the broader social problems, to see the significance of these kind of approaches of a provincialism which has pervaded the

00:02:03.420 - 00:02:22.290

Senate in years past, which seems to have at this time I reached an ascendancy which is even greater than that of the path. I think the speaker was extremely upset about the defeat of the bill and and I I share his his discussed as a matter

00:02:22.290 - 00:02:36.250

of fact, it seems to me that this is a bill that however small would have aided in some way to give the people who are the center of the riots, people in the unemployed community, whether they be white or black, the obligation and the opportunity to

00:02:36.250 - 00:02:44.710

make some money. And I just have to believe that nobody riots if they have a full pocket full of money and able to feed feed their Children,
