(208-204)
Ford (R-MI) amendment substituting the Administration bill to extend nationwide the provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in place of the Committee bill extending the law in its existing form.

(163-231)

(156-208)
Mahon (D-TX) motion to recede from disagreement to Senate amendment which had the effect of killing the Philadelphia Plan to eliminate job discrimination.

The Senate had added an amendment to allow the Comptroller General to refuse funding for any programs he considered illegal (and therefore effectively killing the Plan).
