Dirksen signaled substantial agreement on open housing provisions, which would apply immediately to federally funded housing and phase in for large developments, with limited reach to single family homes next year. The measure also expands federal penalties for interference with voting and other rights, and may allow states to act before federal prosecution. Also, morphine vanished from police custody in Izmir en route to labs.
