D. "DUB" ROGERS, JR., REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY AUGUST 8, 1968 For quite some time now, I have been meeting with various and sundry groups concerning the problem of the unemployed in our City. I am morally conviced that this problem is one which we can attack within our own family. It is one which we can make headway in solving - for many of the facts - and many of the myths about this problem are covered up in rumor and misinforma- tion which can be brought to the surface and exposed to the light of good, hard logic and common sense. Consequently, I am appointing today a "Mayor's Human Resources Committee." This committee will study the problem from every possible angle and will aid and assist the unemployed, skilled and unskilled, and the underprivileged without regard to race, color, or creed in endeavoring to match the unemployed with a job for which he is qualified. In addition, this "Master Committee" will aid and assist the unemployable by helping to bring them in contact with the various agen- cies and employers who are equipped to train such people. This Mayor's Committee should in no way be considered as an employment agency. It will work closely with the Texas Employment Commission, Private Employment Agencies, and all other public, governmental, and private sources of employment. But, in the main, this group will be concerned with dealing with one of the greatest strengths of democracy - helping all of us act like a community. My hope is that this committee can teach all of us that we need to share our strengths and overcome our weaknesses. This group can accept diversity as a precious source of creativity - and as a ladder to better communication between all elements of our community. The membership of this "Master Committee" includes as broad a cross section of this City 11 as it is possible to assemble. Every member has agreed to accept this responsibility, and each is acting from a wholly unselfish and cooperative point of view with a desire to bring a new spirit of complete community dedication to helping each other. I have complete faith in these gentlemen. The "Master Committee" is composed of the following members: 1. Marion Sanford, Chairman 2. Aubrey Rummel, Vice Chairman 3. Vicente Arrendondo 4. Clem Boverie 5. Ronald Canady 6. Ed Deo 7. Father Donlon 8. R. B. McAlister 9. T. J. Patterson 10. Theodore Phea 11. Marvin Rogers 12. Lynn Rowan 13. Clarence Solnick 14. Joe Stanley 15. R. C. Taylor 16. Ben Zermeno There will be five subcommittees of four members each, three of whom will be named from the "Master Committee" listed above, and one person who is not a member of the "Master Committee." The Chairman and Vice Chairman of each subcommittee will be named from the membership of the above "Master Committee." 11 The title of each subcommittee, its responsibilities, mission, and membership are as follows: 1.
