That's where their office was, at the time, and talked with the manager about hiring two black drivers. He said he didn't have any openings.

Maybe, we should have talked to you before we bought it.

We said, "Because if you don't give us two drivers by Monday morning, we're going to shut your bus company down." Oh, he was a boastful kind. He said, "No Negroes want to stop riding my bus."

Swift is hiring, and if there are qualified drivers, we will get them employed right away. They may want to get home and see if they can drive for the company they worked for before. . . . If they meet our qualifications, we will hire them.

What's more important than who's going to be the first black manager is who's going to be the first black sports editor of the New York Times.

We're reiterating what Commissioner Hilsher has already said, ... The attorney general's office has no problem with accepting a donation with no ties attached. I am concerned it has ties, particularly since a private attorney representing one of the entities in the state's case has contacted members of the OSRC. The problem lies in the point of focus of the resolution, which includes a voluntary litter reduction plan by the industry. The OSRC is a state agency. If a state agency condones, ratifies or approves any plan by the poultry industry with regard to litter reduction, it is in direct conflict with the state's case, and as a state agency, the OSRC should take that under advisement.
