Richardson on busing and desegregation policy remarks
Richardson, secretary of health, education, and welfare, defended busing as beneficial for children to attend neighborhood schools while acknowledging administrative delays in desegregation. He rejected claims of disagreement with Nixon on the issue and noted federal desegregation directions and Austin, Texas, plans that prompted cabinet resignation rumors. He stressed that progress hinges on communities and courts, not delays, and cited Southern resistance as a factor in pace.
