While projections and predic tions regarding the potential ex tent of the impact vary from per son to person, several facts are avaUable now that point to the im m ediate and future im portance of the medical situation in the community. An $8,5 million annual payroll is already being computed at Pitt Memorial Hospitd for an employee force of some 825, ac c o rd in g to h o sp ita l a d ministrator Jack Richardson. Staff is available to serve 250 of tile hospital’s 370 beds now, Richardson reported. When the i^maining 120 beds are made available according to patient needs, the number of employees necessary to staff the additional beds wUi increase. Full utilization of the 370 beds will mean an employee staff of over 1,100, he said, earning an economy-affecting payroll of somellSmiliion. On the medical school side of the coin, salaries and wages for the current budget year, running from July 1 to June 30,1978, will amount to $3.9 million, stated Dr. Dean Hayefc, director of ad missions for the medical school. Hayek said that for the fiscal year Just ended on June 20, salaries and wages for medical school personnel amounted to some $1,8 million. A safe assumption would be that the payrolls of both the ho^ ita l and medical school will increase in the years to come and the subsequent economical impact will be reflected in the salary advancements. Construction of the new medical facilities has already meant a substantial number of jobs and as the complex develops, both from the hospital and medical school standpoint, construction employment will be struction of the medical com plex. The hospital represents some $24 million in overall costs and P itt Memorial pays an insurance bill of $90,000 compared with $32,000 at the old facility. The S24 million in assets compares with $5 million a t the old hospital, Richardson pointed out. Operating costs at the new hospital ran approxim ately $34,000 per day in the early days of occupancy while revenues of $40,000 to $45,000 per day were projected to meet expenses. Operatiiig expenses a t the m edical school for 1976-77 amounted to $1.7 million, Hayek reported, and $2.5 million is pro jected for the current fiscal year. The medical school additions a t the hospital, including e m e r g e n c y , r a d io l o g y , operating areas, storage, dining area, psychiatry section, and the front additions to the complex, cost r o u ^ y $5.1 million. Equip ment for the various areas of the hospital for patient care ac tivities will push the overall total cost to close to $6,5 million. The total cost does not in clude the muiti-million dollar medical science building that will be constructed on land north of theho^ital. The economy will be affected by the tax revenues generated by the new facilities and tax values in the area will also change as the tax b ^ grows. Development of the area a ro u n d the h o sp ita l and medical school will place in creased demands on local ser vices, including utilities, police, fire and transit and the cost oi added services could mean ad justments in the local tax rate. P ro p e rty va lues in the medical area no doubt will escalate as the development continues in the years to come. People have a great impact on the economy and beyond the projected employment figures for the hospital and medical school and the expec ted number of students, doctors and other personnel in the next eoi^Ie of years, it is specula tion a s to just how many people will come to Greenville as a result of the new medical faculties. Currently, approximately 115 to 120 people are employed at the medical school. Of the total, 51 are faculty members. This fail, 23 students are enroUed in the medical pro gram and 1978 will see an addi tional 32 medical students. The figure will increase by another 32 in 1979, according to Hayek, and the freshman class in 1980 will have at least 32 for an overall total at that time of some 124 students. He explained that with the beginning of residency pro g r a m s in p e d i a t r i c s , psychiatry, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery, the personnel figures involved in the medical school will increase by two or three times. Most of the residents have famUies and that adds to the potential number of people The number of the new peo- pie will also be increased by the add ition of post doctora l students and ail departments will be adding personnel as the various programs are establish ed a t the medical school. The university hopes to be able to implement the Ph.D training program in 19’̂ , the admissions official pointed oqt, and that will mean more As th e hosp ital-m edical school becomes more and more of a regional center for health care, patients will be referred here, Richardson said, and their stays here will vary ac cording to their medical needs. In many instances, patients’ families will need to stay here for varying lengths of time and they must be accomodated. Development of the medical school will also mean con ferences, visits by medical per- sonel and various people who will attend meetings a t the new faculty. Richardson also mentioned the probabUity of service com panies and medical si^pliers locating here and specialty firms might tend to pick Green- vUle as a site as a result of the health care program. The hospital currently has over 100 doctors bh its staff the continued increase in the number of doctors wUI have a major impact on the economy in term s of salary. The hospital had 32 doctors on its staff in 1966, the administrator recall ed. The potential influx of new citizens, whether temporary or permanent, will affect the hous ing market and create new home construction and owner ship, jiecessitatc the develop ment of new apartments, and generally create a need for in creased services such as enter tainment, restaurants, banks, m o te ls , and re c re a t io n a l faculties, among other things. All of the factors relating to the new medical complex point to increased busmess volume for the area. Neighboring towns should also feel the ecc'nr'mJc impact of the hospital and medical school in terms- of business volume and new citizens. Dr. William Laupus, Dean of t h e c h o o a c k n o w le d g e d th a t th e economic impact of the health ce.nter is hard to measure but he predicted that in three or four years, the dollar impact may be in the $25 mUIion per year category. The economy wUI be affected. To wrist extent, everyone has the opportunity to envision and speculate. hs A ^ ByJlMKYLE Iz; Reflector Staff Writer K Medical education “ away ^ from the ivory tower” of the U state 's medical schools Is the ^ reasoning behind the North ^ Carolina Area Health Education < Center (AHEC) program, ac- '"^cording to Dr. Simmons Patter son, executive direc tor of Eastern AflEC. The overall goal of Eastern AHEC is “ to improve the quanti ty, quality and distribution both geographically and by specialty of all types of health manpower in our region,” Dr. Patterson said. This Includes doctors, nurses, dentists and those in the allied health fields. Eastern AHIilC is one of nine AHEC programs in the state. Geographically, it is the largest, encompassing 23 counties in nor theastern North Carolina. The program works with IG com munity hospitals and 11 com munity colleges and technical In stitutes In this area. ! The Eastern region includes iNortlihampton, Bertie, Martin, I'^ill, Greene, Wayne, Lenoir, ./ones and Onslow Counties, and all counties cast of tliose. The h'ospilals Included in the region 'Jrc Craven County, Lenoir ftlem orlal, P i tt M emorial, Wayne Memorial, Albemarle, B eaufort County, Chowan^ C iartere t G eneral, Onslow Memorial, Roanoke-Chowan, B|et'tie County, Martin General, p'lmgo District, Sea Level, Tyr- rdil County and Washington C(>unty. jThe roots of the North Carolina AHEC program go back to the 1960s when a medical education program was initiated between several community hospitals in the state and the University of North Carolina (UNO Medical School to set up intenfslnp programs for fourth- year medical students. In 1969, the state General Assembly first allocated funds to the UNC School of Medicine for the development of graduate and undergraduate medical educa tion in these affiliated hospitals. One of the biggest boosts in getting a full-scale AHEC pro gram underw ay in North Carolina, according to Dr. Pat terson, was the release in 1970 of a report by the Carnegie Com mission on Higher Education. This report was an extensive in vestigative effort to determine the medical needs of the nation and It reached several conclu sions: • There was a lack of primary health care manpower, In cluding family practice physi cians, pediatricians, doctors of internal medicine and obstetri cians and gynecologists. • The nation’s poo! of health manpower was dedcficlent In both its quantity and distribu tion. Doctors were not evenly divided throughout the country. • Attention to the maintenance of the level of knowledge of prac ticing health professionals was often neglected. Doctors, nurses and others in the health field were not adequately keeping up with advancements In their fields. • Appropriate practical inter relationships between various types of health manpower was . lacking. A communication gap existed between the various health care fields. The Carnegie Report was the origin of the term “AHEC” and it suggested the use of existing community hospital facilities for clinical teaching purposes. It led to Iho enactment of a federal program which, in 1972, granted $8.5 million to each of 11 medical schools around the nation. UNC was one of these schools. With this five-year grant, UNC developed three AHECs, in Charlotte, Wilmington and Area L, which includes Tarboro, Rocky Mount, Wilson and Roanoke Rapids. In 1973, a group of medical consultants studied llie AHEC program which had been set up by UNC and recommended to the Board of Governors of UNC that AHEC be expanded. This recommendation was adopted by the Board of Governors and sent to the General Assembly which, In April of 1974, ap propriated $28.2 million to strengthen and expand the North Carolina AHEC program. This money was used to set up the existing nine AHECs and In cluded $23.5 million for construc tion or renovation of health education facilities and $4.7 million for program operations and the development of new primary care medical residency programs. The General AsHombly ap propriated additional funds in 1975 for program appreciation. In that year, $2.8 million was allocated for AHEC. In 1977, the American College of Physicians cited the North Carolina AHEC program as the model for similar programs throughout the United States. The Eastern AHEC, winch Is based in Greenville, was the last of the nine North Carolina AHECs to be set up. In the fall of 1974, according to Dr. Patterson, a meeting was held to elect the board of direc tors and sot up coinmiltccs for Eastern AHEC. The board Is comprised of representatives from participating hospitals, health care fields, community colleges and technical institutes. The committees appointed made studios of the area, Dr. Patterson said, in order to deter mine its needs and set up pro grams to meet those needs. All of these programs were set s:p with the main goat in mind: to Improve the quantity, quality and distribution of health man power in the area. Nine fundamental goals, and programs to realize llicm, were decided upon: • Develop a Family Practice Residency Program for the training of physicians in family practice, Including a rotation p rog ram through selected hospitals In the Eastern AHEC region. This family practice program has already attained accredlla- tion and the first clas.s was ad mitted in July. It was funded by CConllfiuaionpage 4/ AHEC and is being administered by the E ast Carolina University (ECU) Sdiool of Medicine. • Develop training rotation for students in all health dlciplines througli community hospitals, phy.sidans’ offices aJid clinics in the region as part of medical education curriculum. Medical students are already involved in this rotation, in cluding nursing and allied health students from East Carolina and medical, pharmacy, dental and public hcalUi students from the University of North Carolina. • Plan, promote and supervise continuing education programs by means of lectures, sym-. p0!3iums and workshops in all ^sciplines of health care. These programs, many inter- di-sciplinary In nature, are plan ned about a year in advance. Dr. Pi'itterson said, and are designed help doctors, nurses and •flf.hers in the healtli care field abreast of changes In thefr professions. Programs are held in the hospitals to Insure max imum participation throu^i con venience and speakem come from both medical schools and private practice. • Support and assist in the development of a Family Nurse Practitioner program. Tills program has been set up through ECU!s Scliool of Nurs ing and is a one-year course for experienced nurses. • Offer technical assistance in the development, upgrading and m a in te n a n c e of h o sp ita l libraries. A lib ra ry technician is employed by Eastern AHEC to visit the 16 different par ticipating hospitals and offer ad- rice and assistance for improv ing their libraries. • Offer iedinical assistance md consultallon lo licallh care jersonijcl. Eastern AHEC is involved In a problem-solving program for the health services. For example, if a hospital had a hard time staff ing its intensive care unit. Eastern AHEC would offer sug gestions as to how good intensive care nurses could be trained. • Assist health care agencies in delivering quality educational programs to meet community needs. The needs of the area arc focused upon in developing in- house hospital programs to im prove health care. . • Allocate funds and offer technical assistance for the plan ning and construction of addi tions, renovations or alterations of community hospitals for educational purposes. These improvements include such things as conference rooms, classrooms, on-call booms for students lo sleep in while training, libraries ajid of fices for in-service education directors. To date, facilities have been com pleted in New Bern, K inston , E liz ab e th C ity, Washington, Plymouth, Wind sor, Belhaven and Goldsboro. Similar facilities are nearing com pletion In G reenville, Alioskie, Edenton, Morhead Ci ty, Columbia and Jacksonville. Financial assistance has also been given for llie construction of an educational component of the Aurora Medical Center. This construction is funded by the $23.5 million appropriated by the General Assembly in 1974 for constniction or renovation of health education faculties. • Allocate audio-visual equip ment and services to all hospitals in the,region and some rural health centers; Audio-visual packages have been provided to all the af filiated hospitals, including slides, films and projectors and a full-time audio-visual employe is available to assist in the use of tills equipment. Riglit now. UNC Is the domi nant medical sdiool in the ' Eastern AHEC programs, but Dr, Patterson said there is “no doubt in my mind that the ECU School of Medicine wiJ! be the , dominantschoolasitdcVelops.” ! In the past couple of years, the 1 number of doctors in this part of ! the state has increased and Dr. I Patterson said, “We hope that I Eastern AHEC has had a lot to ; do with the increase.” j The state’s outstanding AHEC program is “a great enticement ! for docloi’6 to come to North Carolina,” Dr. Patterson said. , "I wish the heck- they had had It ’ w henlwas coming along.” PRIME SPONSORS MANPOWER PLANNERS (ATTACHMENT 5) Alamance County Mr. Douglas M.

Beginning in the spring of 1977, Robert Valder provided staff assistance to the Citizens Committee on the Five Year North Carolina State Vocational Education Plan. This Committee monitored the development of the state plan that North Carolina filed with the U.S. Office of Education (USOE) pursuant to the Vocational Education Act of 1976 (VEA) and submitted comments to state officials on substantive deficiencies in the Plan, as well as inadequacies in the planning process. We are now ready to institutionalize our concerns, i.e,, to fight for structures in North Carolina that will assure access by minorities to the training programs which are essential to full participation in the economic life of the state. To promote this objective we will be engaged in implementing strategies simultaneously at the Federal, state and local levels. The major activity in this new phase will be the filing of a Federal complaint in which we will charge that USOE approved a plan from North Carolina which violates specific mandates of VEA. This will be one of a series of complaints through which we will seek initially to impact on USOE’s performance and eventually to seek Congressional remedies for weaknesses in the current legislation. After filing the complaint, we will be engaged in efforts in Washington and in North Carolina to bring the state into compliance with the law, as well as with new Contributions are deductible for U.S. income tax purposes Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978 administrative regulations that will be promulgated pursuant to the consent order affecting the vocational education aspects of Adams v. Califano. The objective of the grassroots project, to be launched in the fall in selected counties in Eastern North Carolina, will be to mobilize citizens in a comprehensive effort to enhance the eco nomic status of blacks by challenging discrimination in vocational and training programs. We have chosen to focus on the eastern region for the following reasons: 1. It contains a large number of counties that are heavily black and poor and where blacks are eager to secure economic advantages from their potentially powerful political base. 2. We are convinced that an attack on poverty and lack of opportunity in nonmetropolitan areas of the South could reach blacks whose needs are largely bypassed in national strategies and is key to the enhancement nationally of the economic status of blacks. 3. An economy of effort could be achieved if projects with clearly defined educational objectives are "piggy-backed" on to larger economic development plans. Action projects which exemplify a targeted focus on areas of emerging economic opportunity offer more promise for nonmetropolitan areas than generalized projects. Your assignment, broadly defined, will be to review vocational education and training programs - and planning for them - within the larger context of planning for long-range economic develop ment and projections for manpower in Eastern North Carolina. The specific information and insights which you will gather for us will strengthen our complaint and provide the knowledge base on which we will develop our community action project. The following is a description of the reports which we will expect to receive from you by the end of the summer. I . The first draft of the complaint that LDF and the Citizens' Committee will submit to the U.S. Office of Education Information and instruction which you will need will come from the following sources: 1, Before he leaves on vacation. Bob Valder will turn over to you the appropriate documents from his file and will brief you on developments. Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978 The Citizens' Committee will play a major role in determining the issues which should be addressed in the complaint and the message which the complaint should communicate. Bob will brief you on the com mittee’s thinking to date and will create a process which will enable you to maintain a relationship with key committee members in his absence, if they have assignments which should be turned over to you. Visits to agencies which Bob will specify will fill in gaps of information. Since committee members have had sessions with officials of many agencies, you will not be expected to go over that ground again. The purpose of your visits will be to document our charge that the North Carolina Plan does not reflect, or build in, coordination with key agencies whose involvement is essential for an effective, long-range effort to restructure vocational education pursuant to the 1976 Act. Bob had mentioned Employment Security Commission, Apprenticeship Division, CETA, and industrial training in the Community College System. However, visits may not be required if new information is not needed. 4, Some of the information which you will be compiling under II below will be relevant to the complaint. 5. When Phyllis McClure returns from vacation early in July, she will arrange to visit you in Raleigh to prepare with you the outline which you should follow in drafting the complaint. Mike Smith should also be involved in that session, at least for part of the time, since he will be preparing the chapter on funding, B. This first draft should be ready by August 1. This will give Phyllis and Bob a chance to review it prior to a meeting with the Citizens' Committee which they may wish to schedule before you leave for vacation on August 13. Report on new, emerging and expanding areas of economic acti vity in Eastern North Carolina that should influence decisions re the conceptualization, location, launching and implementa tion of training programs. What are the prospects for new job opportunities in the ’80s that should shape training programs today? This report should cover new and/or expanding industries and service institutions (we have a special inter est in East Carolina University as an employer) and public Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978 works projects. In the final report Bob will add a chapter on public and private employers involved as defendants in employment discrimination litigation and the prospects for court-orders mandating affirmative steps to increase the hiring and upgrading of minorities. A. The report should address the following kinds of questions: 1. What is the relative economic status of Eastern North Carolina today and what priority does it have in the state's overall planning and projec tions for economic growth? Are the poor of the Eastern counties to be "rehabilitated in place" through development programs, or is outmigration the official solution for their poverty? 2. What are the key areas for growth and what kinds of economic activities are projected? We would like as full a list as possible of new and ex panding industries and public works projects. We are also interested in the economic dimension and employment implications of the expansion of service institutions like East Carolina University and its network of area health education centers. 3. What are the manpower implications of the above, i.e., new kinds of skills needed; and whether skilled manpower is already available or will have to be imported or trained? How does the education establishment relate significantly to economic development in an area which has for generations manifested patterns of economic distress that impact disproportionately on blacks? 4. Cast of characters: agencies, officials, public and private who are making key decisions re economic development, manpower, training. 5. Resources available to black citizens who are trying to understand and relate to the larger economic de velopment scene and to set their own program ob jectives within this context. Are the think-tanks, research institutes, universities, public service programs, etc., in North Carolina available to blacks who are ready to take a long look ahead and take steps now that could assure that today's youth are getting the training for tomorrow's jobs?

I suggest that you draft reports of agency visits and indivi dual interviews and analyze materials promptly although you may wish to wait to have the final version typed as you prepare your consultant's report. (I find that I often go back and edit a visit report when later infor mation confirms or challenges my first insights.) Phyllis will want to review your reports to date when she visits you in July. Before you go on vacation August 13 Bob will want to see them and to discuss with you the outline of your report which you could finish when you return. Actually, the final report could be a series of interview/ visit reports with a long overview chapter which summarizes whatever research you have discovered, along with your findings. III. Memorandum to this Division with recommendations for targets. Whereas Report TI should be factual and analytical and a summary of what you have learned from your research and from others, we would welcome your personal observations and recommendations based on your knowledge of the state, the resistances within certain bureaucracies and the urgent Anne Borders-Patterson June 16, 1978 needs of black folks. By early fall we will have to decide where to concentrate our efforts in Eastern North Carolina. With very modest resources, where can we make a difference? What criteria should we use as we select areas for grassroots activity? What should be the nature and scope of state level work to back up our local community action projects?

The de segregation of public accommodations was an historic but often only a symbolic victory for the millions of black people whose economic plight rendered this a meaningless gain. Schools were desegregated but new patterns - the so-called, second generation problems - have become institutionalized. Tracking procedures# the disproportionate suspension and expulsion of blacks and the increase use of discipline centers for students labeled deviant have produced segregated classes even within desegregated systems. The demise of the black principal and the loss of black teachers through attrition have withdrawn what had once been the most assured source of black leadership in small southern towns. The number of black elected officials has risen dramatically but the exercise of black political power has often not been translated into material benefits for black commu'a - 1^ shared equitably in the region's economic development. We have decided to target some of our resources to the non metropolian South in a comprehensive and sustained effort to ad dress problems confronted by black citizens. We approach this task with the following convictions based on our experience: 1. Priority must be given to enhancing the economic status of average black persons. The increasing.ly p i V more visible black middle class in the South - the young, educated, upwardly mobile beneficiaries of the progress in civil rights since 1964 - must not camouflage the despair of those families whose economic situation has deteriorated. 2. Civil rights problems must be defined in terms of their mutual interrelationship. The denial of equal educational opportunity during youth limits one's ability to become credentialed and affects employ- ability throughout life. Job discrimination as a major contributor to economic insecurity restricts black purchasing power for vital health services and good housing. Discrimination in access to de cent housing and quality health care contributes to the social situations which are frequently cited to justify white resistance to school integration. 3. Strategies to enhance the economic status of black people must be designed to reflect this interre lationship. Too often, and usually because of financial constraints, we have launched single issue projects, although a true economy of effort might have been reached in the long run from mul tiple strategies to seek a quantum leap forward. We believe that a vigorous, coordinated and sus- - 2 - tained attack on racial discrimination in nonmetro- poLian areas will have a profound economic impact. A comprehensive approach must address: the exclusion of blacks from key policy-making bodies, especially those with responsibility for planning and economic development; denial of access to training; employment discrimination; exclusion from quality moderate-priced housing by developers, realtors and Federally-funded providers of housing; denial of equal access to health, extension and municipal services, to credit and to business opportunities. 4, Strategies to enhance the economic status of blacks should build on promising trends on the larger scene, especially where the economic development of an area is anticipated through new and expanding industries or institutions, or through public works projects. LDF's Division of Legal Information and Community Service pro poses a major focus on Eastern North Carolina. Thirty of the 43 counties that we have identified as ’’Eastern" have populations which are at least one-third black; some of these are among the poorest counties in the nation. In 36 of them, more than half the black population is poor. Two-thirds of black persons in 16 counties have incomes below the poverty line. (see attachments 1 and 2) At a consultation with black leaders from Eastern North - 3 - Carolina last October, LDP representatives received reports of dis crimination in every area of community life. Yet there are some developments which hold promise, if blacks organize to take advantage of them. Industrial development is projected. East Carolina University is becoming a major force in area economic growth, as well as in the enlargement of health man power and the restructuring of health care delivery systems. (see attachments 3 and 4) Jones County, which is 45% black and 65% of whose black citizens are poor, now has black public officials - as deputy sheriffs and principals as well as members of the county commission and of town, planning, elections, recreation and school boards. Major private and public employers are defendants in litiga tion to eliminate patterns of discrimination. All of North Carolina's community colleges, technical institutes, vocational schools and universities are implementing plans designed pursuant to Federal statutes and guidelines to assure equal opportunities for minorities, women and the handicapped. Phase I, for which we are seeking a grant from the Babcock Foundation, will be an action-research and community organization project. Beginning in May 1978, our efforts during the first months will be largely focused on challenging discrimination in vocational education and manpower training programs. Our concern will be to assure accountability of state and local agencies in Eastern North Carolina to their legal mandate to target funds to - 4 - areas and to persons whose needs demand priority attention. We are beginning with the training of minority youth as the issue around which we will cluster other activities because of the seriousness of the minority teenage unemployment problem and because we are already deeply involved in statelevel monitoring of North Carolina's Five Year Vocational Education Plan, as part of a national project. However, we do not intend to concentrate on vocational training in isolation. We are committed to a rationale of comprehensive and multistrategy approaches to civil rights programming. Furthermore, we are intrigued by John U. Ogbu's thesis, as reported by the Carnegie Council on Children's release of his new book, that it is the discouraging economic reality of most adult blacks' lives which shapes children's skills and attitudes. Since schools rein force society's message to adult blacks that there is a ceiling on levels of income, status, power and dignity which can be reached, black students will persist and succeed in school only when they perceive realistically that education pays off in later life. Our objective will be to Involve black leadership in assuring training opportunities for youth as a specific point of intervention while they as adults are changing the total situation in their communities. - 5 - PHASE I ACTION RESEARCH AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION I. The First Three Months A. Compilation and organization of information into action-relevant pac]^ages for blacks. Demographic data. Considerable data about Eastern North Carolina already exist in official documents of state and Federal agencies, in studies by re search institutes and universities and in reports of private advocacy groups. One of our first tasks will be to put already available information into a form which will be useful to grassroots organiza tions. 2. Information about planning and policy-making bodies in the area that play a key role in economic develop ment and manpower programs,. We shall be particularly interested in the prime sponsors for manpower pro grams and in the Regional Councils of Government in the area, (see attachment 5) These consortia of city and county governments are leading region al bodies for planning, development and manpower. ĵ C- 0*^ Each has a Regional Manpower Advisory Council. In our fact-finding we will be interested in the com position of these bodies, the criteria for their decisions, who benefits, the source and amount of funds under their control and how black con cerns can get on their agendas. 3• Information about economic development plans, new - 6 - 1< IM K and expanding industries, major job providers in the private and public sectorso We shall document the role of state agencies in development; kinds of jobs current and projected in private industry and the existing racial patterns in key firms; and current and anticipated projections for employment in public agencies and educational institutions. We shall devote special attention to health manpower Uc-- projections, not only because this is a growing field nationally but also because the increase in black practioners at all levels could definitely impact on the health care delivery system's outreach to black people. 4. Information about training programs. In our monitoring of the state's Five Year Plan, we have already compiled voluminous data on vocational education programs and classes. We shall update these data; review the state plan and the second annual plan to ascertain whether programs are relevant to anticipated manpower needs and document black enrollment. We also intend to get information on projects through the CETA amend ments of 1977 (The Youth Employment and Demonstra tion Projects Act). Community colleges play a vital role in the state industrial training pro- + Co gram. We have already discovered that this program apparently does not serve the East adequately.- The Asheville-Buncomhe Technical Institute received 1748 trainees in 1977-78, in comparison with the. 972 for all of the eastern counties together. (see attachment 6 ) Because of our interest in health professions, we shall focus on minority enrollment at East Carolina University (see attachment 7) which cited the high infant mortality and suicide rates, low doctor-patient ratios and the general inadequacy of health facilities in the East as justification for opening a new medical school with a focus on training for family medicine. B. Identification of resources in public and private agencies, educational institutions and in the black community. II. Midsummer Worlcshop for Black Leaders A topic such as "Training Black Youth Now for Eastern North Carolina's Economic Opportunities in the 80's" should provide the focus around which we could share the information we have compiled and discuss strategies. Black participation on planning and policy-making bodies and efforts to address the larger com munity issues would also be on the agenda. III. Area Projects. By midsummer we will have identified 3 areas (counties or multicounty areas) for indepth concentration for 9 - the following nine months, with consideration given to the follow ing criteria: high black population ratio; good potential for black leadership; counties in the impact area of new industries or expanding institutions; counties near resources, especially from universities. Greenville will undoubtedly be the center for one of our area projects. Building upon what we have learned from our fact-finding and the conference, we plan to develop comprehen sive community action projects which will address a mix of issues to be determined by local people: schools, jobs, housing, health, municipal services, communications, degree to which institutions respond to black needs (e.g. extension. Area Health Education Centers, continuing education) etc. LDF's role will be to provide staff assistance to these projects, looking forward to phasing out our intensive involvement to that of a backup center in Charlotte. Our philosophy is that public and private agencies should be ac countable to black citizens in their service area. Our role as interveners is that of a catalyst to promote this, accountability. Once this begins to take place, we should shift our role. By early summer 1979, we hope to be in a position to redefine our relationship to these action groups.

Independence Plaza Building Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 Dear Bob: In Epes we agreed to send you some information we have about planning agencies in the southern states. Our information is now limited to two types•of agencies: l) Economic Development Agency sanctioned multi-county planning commissions in the eight-state Southeast region. This information was solicited from the Civil Rights division of the regional office and rechecked for accuracy regarding black members thirough letters to the executive directors of each commission© ¥e have identified a universe of approximately 330 black members (out of approximately n k 7 ) which we believe to be accurate to August, 1976. 2} The second type is the semi-public development commissions in each of eleven southern states. At this point it appears that each of the eleven states has some kind of "development office" or "Industry hunting" agency. These each have a citizens commission. As we noted in Epes, the North Carolina situation is currently in flux and in Louisiana they are currently searching for a new director. Enclosed please find a copy of EDA's Directory of Economic Development istriets and Area Grantees and the names and addresses of Executive ireotors of state-level planning commissions in eleven southern states. ̂ trying to assess the impact of increasai black participation in southern institutions. ¥e are trying reference to their role in social development in the region, ihis includes both questions concerning hlacfc presence at policy making levels, as well as the extent to which such presence makes a difference. Bob Valder J\one 3, 1977 Page two We have been proceeding against numerous obstacles. Aside from organizatinal- institutional problems (e.g. funding, released time, etc.) we have found the planning context to be incredibly complex. There are sub-state, multi-state, and state-level agencies, for exmaple, as well as special agencies, not sanctioned by EDA, These different groups seem not to be tied together with anything moi« than the perfomance of A-95 Review, if at all. Still more, there are an array of private development initiatives by such groups as the state and local Chambers. Our basic research question then is complicated by this condition and any conclusions about black involvement should be held cautiously until some of this has been cleared up. For that reason we appreciate your concern and the possibility of cooperating. We expect to complete recording our data this Summer and to begin analysis. We are several months behind schedule now however. As these data are codified we will be willing to provide you with whatever you may find useful. Finally one of the things we had planned to do was to relate our survey of attitudes of black members to the actual planning "thrust'* of the agencies. For that reason we would need a variety of information including plans, budgets, etc. which you will apparently be collecting. We would be most appreciative if you could make your request in such a way as to cover the area we are concerned with and to share your results with us. I hope all continues well.

Leon White met the other night to plan a "Communications Project" for selected areas in North Carolina in 1978. The purpose of this memo is only to tell you that we have selected a time and place for a general session to which we will invite a bunch of folks. More details about the rationale behind this project, what we are doing and what we hope to do at the next meeting will be forthcoming later. For now, however, please put on your calendar the fact that the meeting will be in Greenville, North Carolina (one reason for the Greenville site is because there is a T.V. station there which is the only T.V. station covering a large part of the state and that station is apparently terrible — also, it is owned by the same family that owns the station in Richmond — OTVR — where we are having a hearing). Please put the following on your calendar, more information later. The meeting will be held somewhere in Greenville on January 28, 1978 beginning at about 10:00 a.m. / saw Dictated, but not read.

According to the man who heads the 16-campus univer sity system, “the university be met in full measure.” The UNC official said, “For the U niversity of North Carolina, and on behalf of all of my collegues, I extend warmest congratulations to chancellor (Leo) Jenkins, vice-chancellor (Ed) Monroe, Dean (William) Laupus, and all of their collegues on this historic day,” the opening of the four-year school of According to Friday, “the new hospital (Pitt Memorial Hospital) stands as a splend- ed example of cooperative ac tivity between the university and the county governmental structure, to insure that our citizens are provided ade quate medical care. It is a splended achievement in which we all take great pride,” he added.

There is a very good possibility that we will be conducting the kind of survey referred to in your letter, we think we will know for sure around the end of April. If we do conduct it Bertie County will definitely be surveyed. Gates will probably be surveyed. We have not yet determined which counties we are going to survey. If we do this we hope to have it completed by the middle or end of this summer. I will let you know something more definite * later. In the meantime, could you send me one of the survey questionnaires you referred to in your letter to Julius? Sincerely, 6b Valder Regional Director /saw Julius Chambers, Esq.

Independence Blvd. Charlotte, H.C. 28202 Dear Julius, It was good seeing you again at the last executive committee meeting. It occurred to me later that you might be able to assist us on a project we are about to undertake. The project will focus on surveying majority Black coimties in the rural South, which lack Black elected officials at the county level. With assistance of people in the local communities, we hope to survey patterns of discrimination in education, housing, voting, employment, administration of Justice, use of public, facilities and accomodations and access to media. It is important to us that local people who are most familiar with, these problems be involved in con ducting this survey. In North Garolinajwe will be looking at Gates and Bertie counties. Do you happen to know of someone in that part , of the state who could conduct the surveys for us. We will be able to provide a small stipend of $25.00 for each county surveyed, which Includes any transportation cost. Within the next week the survey questionnaire will be ready for distribution. Please let me know if you can think of anyone who would be inspired to help us. I'm looking forward to seeing you again at the next executive committee meeting. Thank you. Sincerely, Derek M, Alphran Executive Assistant
