                  DIGITAL TO PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY AND
                    EMPLOYMENT MATCHING SERVICES
                 AT NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE CONFERENCE




SAN DIEGO, CA -- July 21, 1992 --  When the National Urban League 
(NUL) Conference opens this Sunday at the San Diego Convention Hall,  
Digital Equipment Corporation will be on site providing the computer 
power and services to run the Job Opportunity Showcase.  
     The Showcase serves as a recruiting center to help the 200 
companies exhibiting their products and services at the Conference 
to find qualified minority candidates.  Digital's job is to manage 
the computerized recruiting environment and to provide interviewing 
and job matching services.
     On Monday, July 27, John Sims, Vice President of Strategic 
Resources and a member of the NUL's Board of Trustees, will speak at 
the afternoon Conference session on the subject of model education 
programs and inner city partnerships.  "Our relationship to the 
National Urban League is long-standing," says Sims, "as is our 
corporate commitment to diversity and to assisting African Americans 
in the achievement of social and economic equality. 
     "Los Angeles has showed us some valuable lessons.  The inner 
city can not be viewed as an isolated isle," adds Sims.  "American 
industry must be part of the solution.  Digital has learned the 
value of its own investments in the inner city.  It is an investment 
that creates jobs in the surrounding neighborhood and brings 
diversity into our facilities.  The end result is a unique display 
of productivity from our workforce."
     In 1987, Digital provided a $1.5 million equipment grant to the 
League.  "Digital's contribution has allowed the National Urban 
League to use technology to improve its effectiveness as a business 
dedicated to improving the lives of African Americans," says Frank 
Lomax III, Executive Vice President of the NUL. "As a result, there 
is a nationwide computer-based network operable at the League's New 
York headquarters and 114 affiliates offices."
     Digital Equipment Corporation, headquartered in Maynard, 
Massachusetts, is the leading worldwide supplier of networked 
computer systems, software and services.  Digital pioneered and
leads the industry in interactive, distributed and multivendor 
computing.  Digital and its partners deliver the power to use the 
best integrated solutions -- from desktop to data center - in open 
information environments.
