The policy involved statistical quotas for employment and educational opportunities, to affirm the rights of African Americans to have equal opportunities to whites. The policy was criticised however, as a 'rigid system of inflexible quotas' but Nixon took the view that government 'hand ups' were better than welfare 'hand outs'.) (Лента времени)
