MEMORANDUM FOR
HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Implementation of Civil Rights Act
At the last Cabinet meeting, the President asked for a
report by July 13 on the activities each department and
agency would initiate to implement its responsibilities
under the Civil Rights Act. In addition to the preparation
of draft regulations (due July 16th), this report should
list the steps your agency plans to take before and after
the regulations are issued to encourage voluntary com-
pliance and to assure the abolition of discrimination
from Federally-aided programs.
The recipients of Federal funds should be advised of
what the Act will require of them and provided assist-
ance and guidance by the granting agency to help them
meet their responsibilities. Also an inspection and re-
porting program should be developed which will assure
that discriminatory practi&es are actually being abandoned.
Lee C. White.
Associate Special Counsel
to the President
cc: Members of Subcabinet Group on Civil Rights
