    Church-Burnings: Insurance Industry

    	You may want to update the President on your efforts to involve

    the insurance industry in a national dialogue on racial harmony.  You

    should advise the President that the industry representatives

    enthusiastically accepted your challenge to use their leadership and

    resources to promote racial tolerance and harmony.  Immediately after the

    discussion with you, the meeting participants contacted the presidents of

    all of the major national trade organizations to alert them to this

    challenge and to convene a meeting to discuss the subject.

    	We (your staff) will remain involved in the process and in the

    discussions.  Specifically, we will urge industry leaders to hold this

    meeting by the end of the month.  We will also assist the industry leaders

    in preparing the agenda for this meeting, which should include a

    discussion on how to use their field offices to reach out to various

    communities.  The industry leaders will report back to us on the details

    (and results) of their meeting, and we will follow-up with the industry

    and their suggested plan.
