The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Dr. Naparstek.

Our next witness is Mr. Carl Holman, National Urban Coalition.

STATEMENT OF CARL HOLMAN, PRESIDENT, NATIONAL URBAN

Mr. HOLMAN. Thank you.

COALITION

Mr. Chairman, Senator Garn, I'm president of the National Urban Coalition and I'm pleased to be able to testify on this legislation and I'd like to say one or two things briefly about it.

I think it's an important step in the right direction. I happen to come from spending some 12 or 14 years in a city called Atlanta, Ga., and I used to hear people come by and remark on what beautiful homes black people had in the city of Atlanta. One of the chores I took on was to try to see how this state of affairs came to be and lo and behold it did not come about out of some benevolence nor did it come about because people naturally have a tendency to do good things, but because it just so happened that a very extraordinary entrepreneur came out of Oklahoma and came into Atlanta and established a number of institutions, among them a black bank, a black Federal savings and loan, an ex-barber established a black insurance company. It was through those three institutions that blacks who were able toshould have been well able to secure home loans were able to get the first loans that made it possible for the building of Northwest and Southwest Atlanta.

It was only after it had been seen that these so-called-these greenline areas, because they're cornfields in many cases where some of them originally were only after the bias in practices supported I must say by the Federal Government in many cases, because it didn't ask certain hard questions-only after these three institutions had proven that you could make loans to these black people did those other major institutions which are still there begin.

So I would say about the present law that one of the problems we find as we talk with bankers, savings and loan people, our own local coalitions, that this law itself seems to be one of the best kept public secrets of our time. There must be clear requirements it seems to me that financial institutions more aggressively advertise the availability of market placement information.

Now any suggestion I make is not going to be liked by somebody or other and I will only pass on that some of our local coalitions have suggested that a brief notice accompanying monthly statements to depositors might be one way of doing it. In Newberg, where we have a new coalition, one of our coalition board members works for a savings and loan which has put its information out in supermarkets, libraries, community centers. Whatever way is found to do it, we ought to have something which will create a situation which would destroy the shyness of the lending institutions in some cases.

Now one of our Detroit board staff members tried to get this kind of information and as he went from bank to bank he found it very difficult to secure the information. He was treated almost as though he were some sort of spy trying to get information which supposedly was not-he called the suburban savings and loan and they said you have to come here in person and then I suppose go through a kind of clear
