Robert Dole K n. and Rep.
Mervyn Dymally D-Calif. ne
chairman of the Congre ional
Black Caucu . in the lOOth
Congre openin here joined
Coretta Scott King in urging
support of the cond official
King Holiday ob rvance in 40
states, 120 countrie and thou­
sands of cities throughout the
U.S. and world.
Although the ob rvance are
continuing to grow into a world­
wide movement affecting all
peoples Senator Dole expre d
"some disappointment" that the
private busine ctor was not
providing more support along
with municipal tate and federal
agencies, and the United
ation .
The Department of Housing
and Urban Development, which
maintains the Federal Holiday
Commission and the Depart-
ment of Defen ironically
provided much of the logi tical
and manpower rvices for
organizing 1987 activities in­
cluding the annual march­
parade, with military units in
Atlanta, January 15-19.
The commi ion receives no
government grant, but hopes to
help rai a million dollars
for the King Center to invest
in sustaining funds when the
. ency expires in April, 1989,
an official stated, after it was .
reported 60 000 short of its
250 000 budget thi year.
However, Mrs. King agreed
she would urge the commission
to take steps to prevent the
commercialization of the ob r­
vances similar to other
national holidays. ' artin was
uch a moral person, it would
be tragic to honor him with a
white sale on sheets" she de­
clared in announcing plans.
