That bill was referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where as you all know the chances of its emerging within the foreseeable future are reasonably slim. It was therefore felt that the title of the bill dealing with equal employment opportunity should be referred to the Labor and Public Welfare Committee and by it to this subcommittee in order that we |
