On a second vote. which again resulted in a 7to7 deadlock. the nomination failed on a motion to report without recommendation. I strongly believe that the Senate should have the opportunity to consider the nomination of Mr. Lucas to this important position. Briefly. I would like to discuss William Lucasa man of character. ability. and dedication who is well qualified to be the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. William Lucas was born in New York City. his parents were Caribbean immigrants. He was orphaned in his early teens and was raised by an aunt in Harlem. He attended public schools in Harlem and the Bronx. ultimately receiving a bachelors degree from Manhattan College in 1952.
