Boeing is a big, BIG, defense contractor, who at any time can have some
very important government and military people touring the facilities
and observing workers. Boeing's management is properly concerned with
avoiding any hint of insensitivity to someone's delicate political
feathers.

================================================================================
Subj: Digital on Amendment 2 (Pls Fwd)
(PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL CXO EMPLOYEES)
Colorado Amendment 2 Position Statement
FYI: Digital Equipment Corporation took a position against the Colorado
Constitutional Amendment #2 last week. A letter was sent to the Governor
and to EPO Colorado/The Equal Protection Campaign stating our opposition to
this proposed measure.
Though Digital's Management does not attempt to advise its employees on how
to vote, it will from time to time take a public position on an issue where
it is determined to have serious implications on our business. This is a
management decision and position, not an employee popularity position.
The following position statement reflects our Company posture on this issue.
Digital Equipment Corporation recognizes diversity as a critical dimension
of our business success. Our goal is to continue to build a diverse
workforce and ensure that our environment allows and maximizes the full
contribution of all of our employees.
Our strength comes from the vast diversity within our population. The
contributions made by people that are different in terms of race,
religion, physical abilities/disabilities, gender, veteran status,
national origin and sexual orientation are key and will continue to be
key to our future success.
We must continue to attract and retain the best employees in the world.
We must also ensure that our employees are afforded with basic equal
rights and are treated with dignity, respect and protected under the law.
Amendment 2 proposes discrimination based on an individual's sexual
orientation. Digital Equipment Corporation therefore opposes this
amendment or any other amendment which would sanction discrimination.

The memo came from Jack Kellogg, the public relations manager at CXO.
It was sent at just the right time to be read AFTER everyone had voted. I
can't say for sure if that was intentional.
The amendment basically makes it illegal for a town in Colorado to have
a law which forbids discrimination against homosexuals, and prevents
homosexuals from claiming discrimination on that basis. It passed with a
53% vs. 47% majority.

| re: .9 Maybe I'll still be getting the memo later, then. I'll have that
to look forward to. :-)
It's pretty typical here that messages sent down from above to a wide
distribution list show up late. I don't know if this is intentional
or simply a misunderstanding by the sender on how nmail works.

If you're talking about my comment, I was referring to the time the
message was SENT, not when it was received.
...but yes, I have received many an important message too late for effect.

Unconstitutional (IMO) ... watch this one get challenged and chew up a
a lot of court time and $$ before it finally gets overturned.
