- Description:
- The President's National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders released a report finding white racism to be the main cause of riots and making recommendations to stop them. The report stirred controversy in Congress, with Senator Fred Roy Harris being a key figure in the matter. He is a stocky, brown-eyed man known for his care for people and expertise in urban black affairs. The full report, running to 1,400 pages, will be released soon. Senator Harris, a Democrat from Oklahoma, is known for his advocacy for social programs and his concern for the poor. He is married to a Comanche Indian woman and has three children. Senator Harris is close to Senator Robert F. Kennedy and President Johnson, and he manages to please diverse interests and individuals while maintaining conformity and respect for seniority in the Senate.
