The need for increased funding for agencies like OFCC to enforce EEO laws and affirmative action requirements is emphasized."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Correspondence%20Series,%201968-1986%20/CAC_CC_109_4_22_12_0000-District%20Office,%20P%20%5B1%20of%202%5D/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_4_22_12_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Equal Employment Funding in the Construction Industry")
