EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY, 1965

TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1965

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

GENERAL SUBCOMMITTEE ON LABOR

OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND LABOR,

Washington, D.C.

The subcommittee met at 6:05 p.m., pursuant to call, in room 2175, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. James Roosevelt (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Representatives Roosevelt, Pucinski, Daniels, Hawkins, Bell, Green, O'Hara, and Reid.

Mr. ROOSEVELT. The subcommittee will come to order, please.

The committee meets at this rather late hour, as I am sure you all know, due to the objections of one Member of the Congress to our sitting during the general debate this afternoon.

I apologize to Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Biemiller for the late hour. I want to extend to you my appreciation for your cooperation.

I want to also thank the members of the committee who are present for their cooperation.

The historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides in title VII for the protection of equal employment opportunities. It was the General Subcommittee on Labor of the Committee on Education and Labor which heard extensive testimony on and wrote and reported the measure that ultimately evolved into title VII. This is an area of great concern to all members of the Committee on Education and Labor and, therefore, Chairman Powell has requested this subcommittee to hold these early hearings on several recently introduced bills which would amend certain provisions of that title.

Part of the urgency is the consideration, the eminent consideration, of other legislation which would be affected by the ability of the past legislation to be effective. Two of those bills, H.R. 8998, introduced by myself, and H.R. 8999, introduced by my colleague from New York, the Honorable Ogden Reid, are identical. The committee is very happy to have Mr. Reid present this afternoon. (H.R. 8998 and H.R. 8999 follow :)

[H.R. 8998, 89th Cong., 1st sess.]

A BILL To more effectively prohibit discrimination in employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and for other purposes

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That (a) section 701 (b) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is amended

(1) by striking out "twenty-five" and inserting in lieu thereof "eight", (2) by striking out the first proviso, and

(3) in the second proviso, by striking out “further”.
