Senate votes to bar federal busing orders in desegregation
Washington reports the Senate approved a Griffin amendment to strip federal courts of power to issue busing orders in school desegregation, a 43 to 40 tally. Opponents sought reconsideration but failed 44 to 41. The measure would also bar federal officials from threatening or withholding funds to compel desegregation, risking a repeal of Civil Rights Act provisions. The vote occurred with five Democratic presidential contenders absent.
