A Compromise Bill
On May 26, the Senate's top leaders in each party -- Senators Mansfield (D-MT), Dirksen (R-IL), Humphrey (D-MN), and Kuchel (R-CA) -- introduced a substitute bill. The compromise bill primarily reduced the emphasis on federal enforcement in cases of fair employment (Title VII) and public accommodations (Title II) violations. It made concessions to Dirksen on occasion in language and substance, but the provisions of the House-passed bill remained basically intact. |
