Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H.

You seem to know a lot about the trek comics, love your posts about them! Do you follow the writers/do you have any favorites? I'm considering getting a collection of Peter David trek comics but the cover just has Spock & Kirk so I wanna see if he's a good Bones writer too lol

Also out of curiosity, any artists you particularly enjoy?

Thanks for the question. I really liked the Peter David comics! They're a bit weird and different, and the plot lines are quite fun. He tends to focus more on Kirk, while Spock and McCoy support from the sidelines (but they have this old married couple energy, and they frequently show their closeness).

Howard Weinstein, who also wrote for DC, has McCoy playing a greater role in some stories: "Class Reunion", "The Tabukan Syndrome", "A little adventure...". Though in this case, the old married couple is Kirk/McCoy, rather. 😅

I like Gordon Purcell a lot as far as art goes. He captures the actors' likeness as nobody else. He worked for DC comics and some of the newer IDW comics. If I recall correctly, several of Peter David's numbers were pencilled by him.
