Dirksen Predicts Filibuster Against Civil Rights Bill
Senate GOP leader Everett Dirksen forecast a filibuster to block the 1967 civil rights bill. He warned cloture was unlikely this late in the session despite his opposition to the measure. Senate Democratic Leader Mansfield said the bill could be called up but noted filibuster risk and timing uncertainties. The bill would criminalize intimidation of Black voters and civil rights workers in voting, employment, education, and related areas.
