"There shall be no discrimination by foremen, superintendents, or any executives of the Company against any employee because of race, or creed, or because of an employee's membership in any fraternity, society, labor organization or other lawful organization." -- Gerard Swope, President, General Electric Company, 1935. [photo] "Our belief today is the same it was 26 years ago when we published our first statement on equality of opportunity for all. We continue to feel that, as a principle of sound business management, we should offer both employment and advancement opportunities to the best qualified individuals available, without regard tot heir race, creed, or color" -- Ralph J. Cordiner, Chairman of the board of directors, General Electric Company, in a Statement Pledging Full Cooperation with the "Plans for Progress" Program of the President's Committee on Equal Opportunity, 1961. [photo] "Years ago the Company's policy of non-discrimination was formulated on the basis of good corporate citizenship. our action was not dictated by government pressure or by the desire to be well regarded, but simply as recognition of an obligation to do what is right. Our policy is clear, and each level of management must make sure it is well understood -- and fully implemented at every location. -- Fred J. Borch, President, General Electric Company, and Member of the National Citizens Committee For Community Relations Established Under the Civil Rights Law to Promote Voluntary Observance, 1964. [photo] "Steady progress in providing equal opportunity will not only move our country closer to its high ideals, but also help to remove some serious obstacles to accelerated economic growth. General Electric's Equal Employment Opportunity Policy must continue to be implemented on a Company-wide front. This is what we must all do. It is not an optional matter for any of us." -- Gerald L. Phillippe, Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Electric Company, 1964. [photo]
