EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1967

U.S. SENATE,
SUBCOMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT,

MANPOWER, AND POVERTY OF THE
COMMITTEE ON LABOR AND PUBLIC WELFARE,

Washington, D.C. The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:35 a.m., in room 4232, New Senate Office Building, Senator Joseph S. Clark (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding,

Present: Senators Clark, Pell, Kennedy of Massachusetts, Javits, and Prouty.

Committee staff members present: Stewart E. McClure, chief clerk; William C. Smith, counsel to the subcommittee; and Peter C. Benedict, minority labor counsel.

Senator CLARK. The subcommittee will be in session.
Will the spectators please take their seats so we can proceed.
I have a brief opening statement which I should like to read,

Today the Subcommittee on Employment, Manpower, and Poverty begins hearings on S. 1308, dealing with equal opportunity in employment.

This subcommittee is also presently engaged in an intensive study of the war on poverty, in which it is our purpose to assess the strengths and weaknesses of that effort so as to enhance its effectiveness. We have already held poverty hearings in two States—Mississippi and New Mexico and the District of Columbia, and we had a week of general hearings on the poverty war in Washington earlier this year. On Monday we resume our antipoverty study in New York, and go from there to California. By the time we get through in the early days of June we will have visited 10 States and held hearings in 15 different places.

While it would be premature now to state any firm conclusions about the war on poverty, one recurring theme has been the close interrelationship between the effort to obtain equal employment opportunity and the effort to wipe out poverty. If we are to attain the goal of equal economic opportunity-which is the mission of the war on povertywe must see to it that such artificial barriers to job placement and job advancement as race, religion, and sex are abolished.

The bill on which we shall be taking testimony today is identical to the text of title III of S. 1026, the administration's omnibus civil rights bill, which was introduced by Senator Hart with the cosponsorship of 26 other Senators earlier this year. 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
