...amendment that prompted affirmative action in universities, however. It was President Lyndon B. Johnson's Executive Order 11246, which now, after many amendments and additions by HEW, requires all federal contractors, including universities, to have a written plan explaining how they will overcome past discrimination. "Affirmative action requires the employer to make additional efforts to recruit, employ and promote qualified members of groups formerly excluded, even if that exclusion cannot be traced to particular discriminatory actions on the part of the employer," the order states...

But when Ike was asked in 1960, "What major decisions has your Vice President participated in?" he replied: "If you give me a week, I might think of one." John Kennedy tried, at least initially, to employ Lyndon Johnson effectively.

As a rule, full-time printers have not been fired; some have been retrained, and the work forces have diminished by attrition...

The Energy Transportation Security Act would require that by 1977 30% of the nation's oil imports be carried in tankers that are built in the U.S., fly the U.S. flag and employ American sailors. Because such ships cost much more to build and operate than foreign vessels, almost no imported oil is carried in them now. Indeed, to meet the bill's requirements, the capacity of the nation's tanker fleet would have to be dramatically enlarged, costing billions...
