Administration Cracks Down On Open Housing Policy
Washington officials outline a strengthened approach to open housing. Federal aid and subsidized projects are conditioned on communities expanding low and moderate income housing without racial discrimination. Attorney General Mitchell files a suit against Black Jack Missouri for excluding a racially integrated complex. George Romney updates regulations to ensure minority access to subsidized suburban housing. Civil Rights Commission hearings on enforcement begin as Romney and Mitchell face questions. White House counters say federal power is limited.

Senate debate on the Hatfield McGovern withdrawal amendment drew limited public attendance as 53 senators opposed, 37 supported, with most undecided.
