C. ANALYSIS

8
the public's interest, therefore, qualifies for exemption from federal income tax under section
9 501(c)(3) of the.Code;...=__.......
10 . ii) Petitioner's private litigation demonstrates an advocacy for disenfranchised African American
11 students;
iii) Petitioner's organization does not operate for the sole benefit of a private interest, therefore,
12
qualifies for exemption under Section 1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(1)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations;
13
iv) Petitioner's officers have not filed for a specific claim or benefit with the U.S. Department of
14 Treasury, in order, to disqualify petitioner as a tax exempt organization. See, e.g., Old Dominion
15 Box Co. v. United States, 477 F2d 344 (4th Cir. 1973) cert. Denied 413 U.S. 910 (1973).

17 2 The Tuskegee Experiment (1932 to 1972), a eugenics experiment conducted by the U.S. Public
Health Service. In this experiment, young African American males were unknowingly injected with
18 the syphilis virus to study the natural progression of the virus in the African American Comrnunity. In
like manner to Governor Pete Wilson's proclamation, the federal government concealed matetial
19 facts of the syphilis experiment from the public.

Republicans worked together to reform the Head Start Program. Republicans and Democrats worked
21 u to bring about changes in the chapter 1 program. We worked together to adopt the Goals 2000
program, the School-to-Work Program, and the direct loan program. These programs were all
22 passed with Republicans and Democrats working together. It truly was an education Congress. Now
we have the proposal to eliminate the Department of Education which is nothing more than a political
23 stunt. It would save less than 2 percent of the Federal investment in education. These budget
proposals will not eliminate bureaucracy in education. What these cuts will do is jeopardize billions of
24 dollars in aid to education which go directly to schools and colleges and .students to give them a
greater opportunity to learn and to succeed") Emphasis Added.
