Church leaders support aid if private schools are included, contending the proposal is constitutional.

Mixed Reaction To Kennedy Civil Rights Move
Kennedy’s first major civil rights step drew support from pro civil rights lawmakers and little enthusiasm from the southern bloc. He created a Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity with enforcement powers to ban discrimination in government hiring and in government subcontractors. VP Johnson chairs the panel, merging committees on Government Contracts and Employment Policy, and directs agencies to broaden minority access to federal jobs. Dirksen called it a step in the right direction but urged statutory authority and independent funding. Hart called it significant and important for advancing equal employment opportunities, while Russell questioned the committee’s strength and noted department attitudes.

Peace Corps head Shriver concurred, noting continued useful post tour work is needed for further deferments. A career planning board, including Beirne and Willis among its first four members, will assist members in finding jobs after service.
