It would be our intention during the period t: of this contract to spend as much time as possible visiting the Home in observation ,... and discussions with staff and residents. .. With regard to Sections (e) and (g) of ,, . "'-. Phase 3, it should be understood our volvament in these areas will be somewhat . -,. limited due to time and financial constraints. We feel the necessity to complete a more -. 1- . _.,_ defined study on the racial and cultural needs the Home can meet could in fact be quite involved. we are by no means diminishing the i!!Op')xtance of 'ch.i3 en tne Home Is evaluation and wish to assure member3 of the Board that consideration of the Childrens' racial heritage and needs will remain a basis of our involvement at all times. ,-.
