Cloture Invoked For Civil Rights Legislation
The Senate successfully votes to end the filibuster on civil rights bills, using cloture for the first time. The move signals a major legislative hurdle overcome in the civil rights era.
Dirksen Sees Sufficient GOP Votes for Cloture Next Week
Republican Leader Everett Dirksen said he expects at least 24 of 32 Republicans to vote for cloture, paving the way for passage of the bill next week. He noted that with all 100 senators voting, 43 of 68 Democrats would be needed to stop Southern opposition. Southern senators contend the bill would infringe states rights to set voter qualifications.
