Jim ,
Per our conversation on 8 August concerning Mr. Bennett's letter to
Director Webster, I want to advise you of our action/response concerning
this matter.
We spoke directly with Dr. Lorna Polk, Education Program Director on
4dzite House Initiatives to HBC[J's. We explained to Dr. Polk that a decrease
in our obligated funds in FY-85 was difficult to explain at this point.
Our records failed to indicate a direct reason for the decrease of these
obligations. However, we noted in FY-85 an Agency reduction of
approximately $226,000 for all higher educational institutions. In that
same year, the Office of Equal Employment did not launch nor create any new
programs or initiatives geared for HBCU's.. However, the following fiscal
year (FY-86) reflected more than a 100% increase in our planned
obligations/initiatives to HBCU's. We advised Dr. Polk that following
FY-85, monies provided directly or indirectly to HBCU's has been on a
continual increase to its projected expenditure in FY-88 of some $497,000.
Dr. Polk was pleased with our feedback and appreciated our concern and
continued support to HBCU's. Unfortunately, Jim, we are at a major loss to
factually explain our FY-85 reduction. I hope the above is sufficient
information concerning Mr. Bennett's letter. If you need additional
information concerning the above, please call me as required.
