Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole has introduced a more restricted civil rights bill which has the support of Hatch and President Reagan. Supporters of the Dole bill say the broader civil rights bill would result in increased federal intrusion into American lives in the nam? of civil rights. Dole's bill would apply only to educational institutions which discriminate. But civil rights supporters say they think they have enough bi-partisan support for a more stringent bill.
