House Judiciary Committee approves civil rights bill 23 to 11 amid administration praise. Optimism grows that the measure could reach the House floor by mid November after writing a committee report and Southern Rules Committee hearings. Senate filibuster threats loom, with a two thirds vote required to pass. The bill retains provisions to ban employment discrimination and to empower federal action against programs that practice discrimination.

In New York State twelve new fires were logged with fifty nine still burning as forest bans remain in effect since October. The storm's broad reach extended from the West Virginia line to coastal areas, with cooler air dipping into parts of the South.
