is the grass roots lobby
designed to lin AACP
members to local branches
and state conferences to
monitor civil rights legisla­
tion.
The chapter members
ere briefed on effects the
Reagan proposed budget
. th its balanced budget
rhetoric and deficit of near-
ly $2 billion echoes freeze
on social programs, but at
the same time is really .
reducin funding for these
programs.
Unemployment took
center sta e because it is the
hub of the heel, with all
other salient issues. While
President Reagan talks
about his training program,
his FY 84 budget ould
reduce to a1 training by
37.9 percent. This d­
ministration constantly em­
phasizes a minimum wage,
which it states will cause the
private sector to employ
and give youth on-the-job
training. This was con-
tradicted by the conference
experts. subminimum
age of 85 percent of the
S3.35 already exists and it
was found that 30 percent
of these ere teenagers and
70 percent adult heads of
households.
The ne Federalism as
shown to be a synonym for
states rights. any social
programs have been com­
bined, but funding for
them has been cut and non­
discriminatory regulations
have been removed.
Reagan medicare changes
for 1984 require the co­
payments of the patient and
medicare (at present it is
free for the first 60 days).
Premiums which are
presently $12.50 will rise to
$14.50 January 1984. Since
43.5 percent of elderly
black women and 32.3
elderly black men live far
below the poverty line,
these medicare cuts will
prove disastrous for them.
The President talks
about public housing build

posed to have an annual
