Description
An account of the resource
Since World War II, air pollution had greatly increased, causing ill health to people and considerable property damage. The committee received letters such as this one from a Tampa, Florida physician who had treated a “young lady” who had been hospitalized twice for “an acute episode of allergic bronchitis and asthma.” The physician believed that “excessive amounts of industrial contaminate particles in the open air about her home” were responsible.

Amendment Submitted by Representative Howard Smith
Subject
The topic of the resource
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
Description
An account of the resource
H.R. 2362 was backed by a fragile coalition of leading education organizations and religious leaders. The bill provided enough support to private schools to enlist the support of Catholic groups, but not so much as to arouse opposition from Protestant and Jewish groups and public teachers’ organizations. While Catholics supported the bill, they threatened opposition if it included a provision specifically permitting a constitutional challenge grounded in opposition to state support of religion. When the bill was debated on the House floor, Representative Howard W. Smith (D-V), an opponent of the bill, offered this hand-written amendment aimed at alienating Catholic support, but the amendment failed by a voice vote. On March 26, 1965, by a 263 to 153 roll-call vote, the House passed H.R. 2362 and sent it to the Senate.

Amendment to H.R. 6675
Subject
The topic of the resource
Medicare Act of 1965
Description
An account of the resource
When H.R. 6675 reached the Senate, the risk to the bill came from liberals eager to expand coverage by adding amendments to the bill. One such amendment added to the bill by the Senate Finance Committee shifted coverage of specialized medical services from Part B to Part A. On July 19, 1965, the Senate passed an amended bill by a 68 to 21 roll call vote with a cost of approximately $800 million more than the House-passed bill. Representative Mills, with the backing of administration officials, dominated the conference and eliminated practically all of the Senate amendments. The conference report was agreed to by lop-sided votes in the House on July 27 and in the Senate on July 28. On July 30, President Johnson signed Medicare into law at a ceremony at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library with the former president by his side.

On July 9, 1965, the House rejected the Republican substitute bill, H.R. 7896, by a vote of 166 to 215.

The House passed H.R. 6400 with the ban on poll taxes in state and local elections by a vote of 333 to 85. After the conference committee reported the bill removing the House poll tax ban, on August 3, the House approved the Voting Rights Act and the Senate did so on the following day. On August 6, President Johnson signed the bill into law at the Capitol.

On January 6, 1965, Senator Edmund S. Muskie (D-ME) introduced S. 4, an administration-backed bill, and in this press release on the same day, declared that the purpose of the bill “is to encourage prevention of pollution as well as to attack the problem and to find more efficient ways of doing it.” Muskie, chair of the Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution of the Senate Committee on Public Works, enlisted bipartisan support and 25 co-sponsors. Since the Senate had passed a similar bill by a wide margin the previous year, the Public Works Committee promptly reported Muskie’s bill on January 27, and the Senate passed S. 4 by a vote of 68 to 8 the following day.

Edward M. Kennedy Poll Tax Amendment
Subject
The topic of the resource
Voting Rights Act of 1965
Description
An account of the resource
On January 23, 1964, the Twenty-fourth Amendment, banning the poll tax in all federal elections, was ratified. As introduced, S. 1564 did not ban poll taxes for state and local election. The administration and many senators did not believe such a ban would withstand a constitutional challenge. The bill reported by the Judiciary Committee on April 9, however, included a complete ban on poll taxes. When the bill went to the floor, Mansfield and Dirksen deleted this provision and substituted one authorizing federal courts to determine if local poll taxes were racially discriminatory. Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) sponsored a floor amendment that restored the committee-reported bill’s ban on all poll taxes, but on May 11, the Senate narrowly defeated Kennedy’s amendment by a vote of 45 to 49.
