Harvard Will Host Domestic Conclave

The Harvard Institute of Politics announced last Wednesday that it will sponsor, along with the Congressional Black Caucus and four major city newspapers, a national conference here in April aimed at establishing new domestic priorities.

Organizers of the forum, which will begin with the presentation of position papers on six key domestic issues by the 13 members of the Caucus, expect between 600 and 700 community leaders, politicians and newspaper representatives to attend.

The three-day discussion of problems facing blacks, Puerto Ricans, poor whites and other minorities will be held at Harvard on April 5, 6 and 7, during spring vacation.

Among those who will attend are former Attorney General Ramsey Clark; the Rev. Jesse Jackson, National President of PUSH; Dr. Charles Hurst, President of Malcolm X College in Chicago; Edgar Kaiser, Chairman of the Board of Kaiser Industries Corp.; and William Lucas, the Sheriff of Wayne County, Mich. near Detroit.

Several Harvard professors, such as Dr. John H. Knowles, director of Massachusetts General Hospital and President-elect of the Rockefeller Foundation, will also participate.

The Chicago Sun-Times, The Louisville Courier-Journal and The Philadelphia Bulletin--are providing all of the financial backing.
