The Nixon administration removed the head of the Office of Minority Business Enterprise after he urged black businessmen to press for more aid. Thomas Roeser, a 41 year old former public relations man, was fired for his stance and criticism of OMBE promotion but was kept on as assistant to Secretary Stans with new duties in long range planning.
