With regarc3. to the general difficulties minorities have with respect to employment opportunities, the provision in City Council File No. 251683 is especially disturbing. The provision reads as follows: �'An e�zployee hired. under the title of Assistant Safety Coerdinator shall be appointed from vrganiZed labor". I believe that the provision is highly restrictive with regard to minorities and it would be extremely difficult to convince mi.norities that they do in fact have equal access to �ob opportunities in City government.

With regard to the general difficulties minorities have with respect to employment opportunities, the provision in City Council File No. 251683 is especially disturbing. The provision reads as �ollows: "An employee hired under the title o� Assistant Safety Coerdinator $hall be appointed from organized labor".
