It would start November 1972 and apply every two years in every Federal Elec tion.. Humphrey described his a mendment to the American Revolution Bicentennial Com mission bill, S-3307, as "an important step in insuring that millions of American working families are not deterred from exercising their franchise in Presidential elections." "A nation at work on elec tion day." he said, "is a nation that denies its people the full opportunity to participate in the election process. "It is wrong to let a job block the polling booth for the 80 million Americans who work in the factories, on the farms and in the businesses of this nation." In his remarks on the Se nate floor Humphrey made known his plans to work again In the next session of the Congress for a standardized system of national voter regis tration. The legislation was de feated today by the Senate. "Voters registration in ma ny states still remains a com plicated bureaucratic ordeal," he said, "which, in fact, dis courages voters from taking the necessary steps to insure their entry into the voting booth. "Millions of Americans will not vote this year because an unfair residency requirement, a hard to find registration of fice, a full day's work or a tee is to increase public aware ness of the controversial re port of a presidential popu lation committee. prejuidiced registrar stand in the way."

However, Bond emphasized that he did intend to severely criticize, chastise, and censure those Negroes who are attract ed to the Nixon-Agnew ticket, not because of loyalty to the tenets of Republicanism, but because they have been con tracts handed down from Washington. In his words, "Neither De mocrats nor Republicans nor Independents, these new po litical prostitutes belong to the HEW party, the SBA party, the HUD party. Their po litical allegiances are not tied to party or principle but to pennies; not to devotion to race and pride in self but to devotion to dollars and the race for power, not to the beauty in blackness but to bigness in bankbooks." "They praise the president as the 'greatest saviour since Jesus Christ'; they applaud the wizard of the wiretap, the architect of law and order, the former attorney general; and wonder of wonders, they attend a formal dinner party honoring the old Dixie-crat himself, Strom Thurmond."
