Provision Compliance

He said that HEW's effort in Albemarle
County were not harassing but "responsible
efforts to encourage compliance with the
provisions of Title VI."

In summary, Mr. Richardson wrote, "I have
no intention of dismissing Mrs. Severinson or
any other HEW employee on the basis of the
allegations contained in your letter. As
indicated, they are for the most part
unfounded."

"And I am constrained to point out, in
turn," she continued, "that after surveying the
publicity given to these allegations, HEW
employees may have a stronger claim to the
charge of 'harassment'."
