Voting Rights Bill Sent To President
Congress sent to President Ford a bill extending the Voting Rights Act for seven years and expanding it to bilingual outreach. It preserves literacy test bans and forestry enforcement in seven Southern states and parts of ten others, with areas in two states offering translations and federal help where minority registration is low. Ford signaled support, while McClory opposed bilingual ballots as costly and educational language remedies were favored.
