One faculty member, whom she ght to sponsor her honors thesis, cyni- ally stated that she should not bother writ- ing one, because he told her she would get into graduate school just as she had been admitted to Radcliffe?as a minority. ? Zayas' fourteen-year-old son is an added responsibility which she takes very seriously. She spends much of her time with him at meals, studying, and parties if he chooses to go along. Few undergraduates have had to undertake the job of full-time parent in ad- dition to full-time student. Zayas has other involvements including 'dedicated recruitment of Puerto Ricans to -come to Harvard. Her work has helped in- ' crease - the numbers of New York Puerto Ri- cans- from one to twlve (still a deplorable admissions figure). In the Boston Spanish- speaking community her application of clini- cal psychology skills has helped many fami- lies. Her dynamic input into the Jamaica Plain Community Mental Health Outreach Program resulted in several needed revisions. ? In Harvard history, Zayas is unique. She is special to many who have grown to respect her disciplined and undaunted approach to an awesome task. She is loved by those who know her unrelenting humanitarianism. And justifiably, I could use more superlatives to describe her; however, an injustice would be to portray Zayas as a superhuman individ- ual. There are thousands of potential Helen Zayases-4f Harvard and similar institutions admit them. In her struggle, Zayas represents many others: older persons seeking the dignity of being considered equally with younger peo- ple; members of oppressed minority groups; women who have endured sub-human ex- ploitation; and masses who have experienced the atrocities of poverty. Her success clearly shows that given the opportunity and prop- er guidance, others who, like Helen, might appear to have "no business applying to a school like Radcliffe," can make it through with honors. -It is imperative for admissions personnel to understand that the single most impor- tant factor for determining the ability of any applicant to complete an academic pro- gram is character strength. No achievement surpasses the boldness of wanting to try "the impossible." No quality is more desirable than fortitude acquired by surmounting hardships far greater than the pressure of xams. INTERNATIONAL POLICE ACADEMY HON. ANTONIO BORJA WON PAT Or GUAM IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ---- Thursday, September 12, 1974 Mr. WON PAT. Mr. Speaker, I am deeply concerned layer the proposed Approved For Release 2005/07/20 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100040032-1 E 5790 AWYditiffINTeeliee61119-(2:EMPEVVeggr?8969/93h1 12, 197 amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974 which would in effect destroy the training program of law enforcement officers sponsored by the International Police Academy. I am referring to Senate amendment No. 1511 to S. 3894, prohibiting police training in this country, under the For- eiSin Assistance Act of 1974 now being considered by our sister body, the U.S. Senate. Notwithstanding the misgivings about the alleged activities of some of its grad- uates, the International Police Academy. LPA, tinder AID has performed some meaningful contributions toward pro- jecting our national influence, par- ticularly in the development of profes- sional law enforcement officers in de- veloping countries. I am also aware of the significant as- sistance rendered by IPA to our offshore territories and possessions in the up- grading of their public safety programs and personnel. IPA graduates are now serving as responsible police officials in American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Trust Territory and Guam, and at the present time two AID police advisers are assisting the Department of Public Safety in Guam. It is in the area of train- ing that IPA has performed an invaluable service to our territories whose limited resources would not otherwise permit the establishment of quality police train- ing comparable to IPA. While this attitude may appear to be local or provincial in outlook that are al-so the overpowering reasons of national prestige as well as valuable support to our foreign policy efforts. Besides the purely police assistance character of the International Police Academy, there Is also the aspect of our national influence abroad. I cannot think of a better me- dium through which to protect our in- fluence abroad than through the officials of developing nations entrusted with the protection of life and property of their respective countries. Moreover, in this era of international travel and adven- ture, many of our citizens are visiting unknown territories, and it is a wise in- vestment for us to have son* input in 'areas in which our citizenry will most likely have their initial encounter with foreigners?the police. In this respect, international criminal activity such as hijacking of air carriers, drug abuse, and terrorism has become a common problem in the international community. It is in this area that IPA is making a substantial contribution to in- ternational public safety. In a recent Washington Report of the American Security Council, dated Au- gust 20, 1974, Lorin J. Goin, Director of the Office of Public Safety, stated: The problem with international Criminality or terrorism, in this case, is one the solution for which must be shared by more than one nation. If the United States has the ability to assist a foreign nation deal with a prob- lem, the impact of which rests on the United States' shoulders also, then the US. should be prepared to help it. Mr. Gain in another Washington Re- port dated August 12, 1974, declared: Prom its inception, the Office of Public Safety, or let's refer to It as Police Assistance Progrtms of Not, United States. have at- tempted to develop a civil police institution In foreign countries which are Initiated at their request. that can be responsive to the needs or the people for services?services in the way of protection of life and property, and the protection of individual freedoms. The doctrine of Pollee Assistance Programs has been effecti:e in changing the way the policentan sees himself. We emphasize that the policeman becomes an asset to the com- munity where he executes his responsibility in ? way that t acceptable to the people. It IS important to note that the funda- mental tenet of the Police Academy is to instill in the trainees a -sense of respect for individual freedom, duty to the com- munity, and, above all, that the raison d'etre of a police organization is to serve the people and community and not vice versa. Th1.15. it is readily apparent, Mr. Speaker. that the IPA sponsored training prograni does contribute significantly to the maintenance of law and order and it is to our bast national interest that this program continue and not be Interrupted by a misguided fear of alleged Police abases. In this connection, the rationale or thrust of the arguments against AID's Public safety assistance program activi- ties said for the termination of the IPA was based on the mistaken belief that the International Police Academy is engaged in the training of police officers to over- throw legally established foreign govern- ments. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The fact of the matter, Mr. Speaker. is that there has never been a single coup d'etat planned, initiated, or perpetrated by police organizations. In- variably, and perhaps ironically, police organizations are summoned to reestab- lish law and order only after they have been presented With a fait accompli. Thus. the allegation that police depart- ments are engaged in insurgent activities against legally constituted governments is without historic foundation. The fact that the IPA program is an effective policy instrument is undeniable. For it is well known that no country can be secure, no political organization can be atabie. and no economic progress can be achieved in an environment where law and order does not prevail. It is.pre- cisely in the area of training those re- sponsible for the maintenance of law and order in their country and the respect for individual rights and responsibility toward the community that IPA has made its greatest contribution. The minimum we can give to IPA is our con- tinued support and blessings in the inter- est of our country and its THE SOARING RATE OF INFLATION HON. VICTOR V. VEYSEY or CALITORS IA IN THE HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, September 12, 1974 Mr. VEYSEY. Mr. Speaker, fo past few weeks the attention the Nation has been directed to ring rate of inflation. Food and gy costa have skyrocketed. Almost everyone is aware of the huge increases in these commodi,ies, but there is another area in which the increases have been much greater. According to a recent television documentary. the cost of a college edu- cation his been increasing faster than food or any other single item. While it may be true that a ?liege degree has been overemphasized at the expense t f vocational education, e fact remains that the middle income amities that bear the lion's share of the x bur- den find, themselves the most advan- taged in :he pursuit of an educ ion for their chiliren. In Amarica today, the very ich can afford to pay the costs, and th children of the very poor as well as the ery bril- liant stunent can easily obta financial aid. Students from middle in me fam- ilies are viten caught in a squ -ze. Their parents *mum too much to alify for financial aid based on need d make too little to simply absorb t enormous cost of ea education. In recognition of this s' tion, the United Bank of California as adopted a program which I believe tremen- dous merit. It could serve a guide for other firms and corpora that rec- ognize the need to be lnvo d in making their con imtmities a bet place to live. UCB h IS established a olarship and work-stuiy Program, . It is a pilot program of educational Id to students enrolled or the final 2 y rs of education in a prit ate college or niversity. UCB will provide each stu t with a half- tuition scholarship gra , quarter-tuition loan, anti an offer of rt-time employ- ment opportunities which living ex- penses and the rema mg portion of the tuition can be earn SWAP represen to my knowledge, the first .affort on part of any Amer- ican institution provide a workable formula ay which e financial aid needs of middle-income udents can be met. The work expe nce of the SWAP pro- gram is tiesigne give each student an indepth orient on to a full range of cornmerc_a1 b ng. During the 2-year term mueh of training received in the work-stuiy p m will parallel the pro- gram mile en by bank management trainees. Fo the completion of the prograni are no obligations to be fulfilled by e student. The p am is operating on a pilot program for 1974 With three col- leges, Ma park, Ventura County; Occi- dental, Angeles: and Stanford Uni- versity al? Alto; selecting a student to ar te. eaker, this program represents a ig effort on a new frontier. It is beginning. If the entire business un ty addresses itself to this prob. many of the financial barriers to a ege education will fall by the wayside. persornaly feel that the directors of the United California Bank deserve our com- mendations for this outstanding pro- gram. Wa concur with their goals, and we wish them success in this venture. We hope Mit many other companies that have prospered under our free enterprise system till accept the same community Approved For Release 2005/07/20 : CIA-RDP79-00957A000100040032-1
