Julian Bond: “The request for emergency CDBG funds came from our colleagues. If you wish to have all of them speak to you personally…”

On the recordMarch 25, 1998
The request for emergency CDBG funds came from our colleagues. If you wish to have all of them speak to you personally, I would be happy to direct them to you. I can assure you that the $260 million in emergency CDBG funding is significantly less than has been requested by our colleagues in this body.
