Fulbright, J. William

Description

-28- beyond the capacity of a community it is likely that turmoil and chaos will result. And, I hope that the Senate will consicfer the implications of this bill for the leadership in communities which are moving voluntarily to meet these challenges. There is a new spirit and it is a new time. But if education and race relations are to progress together they must not be dealt with impersonally by an authority far removed from the emotional and economic climate on which they are nurtured. In the final analysis the local civic l eaders must solve these problems -- which are local in nature. Outside authority without the ultimate responsibility for living with the solution can be expected to spawn more turmoil and strife.
