Special 85th anniversary salute

Article Abstract:

The 104th US Congress, scheduled to convene in Jan 1995, will see the newly elected Republicans clamoring for funding cuts to Medicare, Head Start, Job Corps, Student Loans, Pell Grants and other social programs. Bills such as the Brady Bill and Medical Leave Act will be reviewed. People involved in ensuring racial equality should prevent the abolition of these programs, which greatly benefit the low-income blacks and other minority groups.
