BEFORE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1956 AT 10:00 A.M.
In his State of the Union Message, President Eisenhower
said that his administration would recommend to the Congress a
program to advance the efforts of the Government, within the
area of Federal responsibility, to the end that every person
may be judged and measured by what he is, rather than by his
color, race or religion. Recently I transmitted to the
Speaker of this House and to the President of the Senate our
proposals on this subject. I am grateful for the opportunity
to appear before this Committee to discuss these proposals and
to comment, as well, upon other proposals relating to this
same subject which are already pending before this Committee.
My letters to the Speaker of the House and to the
President of the Senate recommend Congressional legislation on
four matters: First, creation of the Bipartisan Commission on
Civil Rights recommended by the President in his State of the
and
a
Union Message; second, creation of an additional office of
Assistant Attorney General to head a new Civil Rights Division
in the Department of Justice; third, amendment of existing
