Bush aide should reslqn,
national· church agency says
CLEVELAND - A national body
of the United Church of Christ in
late November called for the resig­
nation of President Bush's counsel,
C. Boyden Gray.
The call came in a resolution
passed by the 17 -member direc­
torate of the United Church of
Christ'S Office for Church in
Society, meeting at the
denomination's central offices in
Cleveland. ,
The resolution called upon
President Bush to request Gray's
resignation, citing Oray's attempt
"to mount a new attack on affirm­
ative action" even as Bush prepared'
for his Nov. 21 signing of the Civil
Rights Act of 1991.
The resolution referred to, a
presidential directive, drafted by
Gray and made public this week,
that would have ended the e of

women in federal hiring. The
directive brought criticism rom
member of Congress and civil
rights leaders on Nov. 21 and Bush
rescinded the directive that day.
"While we celebrate the igning
of the Civil Riglns Act of 1991," the
resolution said, "we are deeply dis­

The resolution also blamed Gray
"for leading the charge to label the
Civil Rights Act of 1991 a 'quota
bill, '" for "doing everything in his
power to block any compromise on
that bill over the past two years" and
for suggesting that Bush open his
1992 presidential campaign with an
attack on affirmative action.
