To date no action has been take on it by the Department. Jackson Public School officials have now contacted me about this inasmuch as according to a recent announcement from the Office of Education the Jackson NAACP at 1006 Pigeon street, Jackson, Michigan (Harold White, Sr.) has received an award of $66,540 to support the program of the Jackson Public School directed to eliminating, reducing or preventing minority group isolation...the program for which application is pending in the Office of Education as per above. Understandably, the school officials find it difficult to conciliate this group receiving a grant to support the school program when the schools of Jackson, planning and executing the program have not yet received a grant. I will appreciate the courtesy of your office in advising me in regard to this situation so that I can properly respond to the Jackson Public School officials who have contacted me about it. With my kind regards, I am, Sincerely Yours," Congressman Charles E. Chamberlain (1917-2002) represented Michigan's 6th district from 1957 to 1974.
