If he is truly concerned about the millions who remain disenfranchised he should. it seems to be. announce his support for the substitute offered by the distinguished senior Senators from Pennsylvania and Michigan and eight other Senators who are members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. The ScottHart amendment provides for full extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In addition. it makes uniform throughout the Nation the ban on discriminatory literacy tests and eliminates restrictive residency requirements. This is an important and carefully considered piece of legislation. I enthusiastically support the ScottHart amendment and urge its adoption.
