Appreciation of Strong Bipartisan Support
In this letter NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins expresses his appreciation to Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-NY) of the House Judiciary Committee and Representative William McCulloch (R-OH), the committee's ranking Republican, for the strong bipartisan support of the civil rights bill in the House, without which crippling amendments would have been enacted. McCulloch also aided the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. |
