Williams 1 '1 -Community Relations Service Ben Holman Director The Community Relations Service-commonly called CRS-\ .~ . - . created in the Civil Rights Act of -1964, to help communities to resoIY ~ ((disputes, disagreements, or difficulties relating to discrimiriation base:'~ on race, color, or national origin." The agency does not enforce la\\' T regulate practices or grant funds for programs. It helps to settle raci2_ conflicts and end discriminatory practices by persuading the parties involved to take the necessary voluntary action. CRS -is not restricted to concern with the provisions of any single civil rights statute. Its mandate extends to all conflicts stemming from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin which impa ·r i persons' rights uunder the Constitution or laws of the United States"" The agency works to resolve racial conflicts through both concilia-tion and mediation. In the CRS definition, conciliation means perfonn-big a variety of steps to help move the parties involved to a .peaceful settlement-for example, opening up communication between them, pro-vid~ng . pertinent facts and infonnation, suggesting alternatives, and helping identify sources of specialized or technical assistance. ?Wedia-tion refers to the formal process of setting up and moderating negotia-tions between disputing parties to try and reach a mutually satisfactory settlement to a conflict through a written agreement . CRS carries out its conflict-settling function working directly in com-.munities with the parties involved, a task which is obviously not very a~stract. Its effectiveness depends on the ability of its professional staff-frequently under extremely difficult circumstances-to persuade f HONORARY SPONSORS The Honorable Herman Badillo r ..
