Read this month's editorial, The Great Race Debate at: http://www.multiracial.com/greatracedebate.html. Federal Update Sally Katzen leaves OMB - In the 01/17/98 edition of National Journal, page 122, People column, NJ reported that Sally Katzen, administrator of the information & regulatory division of OMB will transfer to the National Economic Council where she’ll serve as deputy to the NEC director. Ed: That’s one NAACP-owned bureaucrat out of our way.
New census subcommittee - On November 13, 1997, the House voted to create a new subcommittee under the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight to oversee the activities of the Census Bureau. Rep Dan Miller (R-FL) has been named Chairman of this subcommittee, which began operations in January. Formerly, the National Security, International Affairs, and Criminal Justice Subcommittee had jurisdiction over the U.S. Census. Ed: This may be a new opportunity for grassroots activists to make a difference. Start writing those letters now!

Civil rights leader and former Georgia state legislator Julian Bond was recently elected Chairman of the NAACP to replace Myrlie Evers-Williams, the outgoing chair. Maybe Mr. Bond will effect some positive change to this once great civil rights group. As Charles Byrd said on Interracial Voice, hopefully one of his first acts will be to fire Mr. Mfume.. I wouldn't count on it.
