Sen. Sam Ervin charged the Johnson administration would let a sick man die rather than admit him to a segregated hospital. Atty. Gen. Katzenbach denied the claim, saying hospitals must face possible loss of federal funds if noncompliant with integration.

He urged that adequate care be provided to all regardless of race and blamed the hospital when denial occurs.
