    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission on Civil Rights collects and studies information on
    discrimination or denials of equal protection of the laws because of
    race, color, religion, sex, age, handicap, national origin, or in the
    administration of justice in such areas as voting rights, enforcement of
    Federal civil rights laws, and equal opportunity in education,
    employment, and housing.

    The Commission on Civil Rights was first created by the Civil Rights Act
    of 1957, as amended, and reestablished by the United States Commission
    on Civil Rights Act of 1983, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1975).

    Activities

    The Commission makes findings of fact but has no enforcement authority.
    Findings and recommendations are submitted to the President and
    Congress, and many of the Commission's recommendations have been
    enacted, either by statute, Executive order, or regulation. The
    Commission evaluates Federal laws and the effectiveness of Government
    equal opportunity programs. It also serves as a national clearinghouse
    for civil rights information.

    Regional Programs  The Commission maintains six regional divisions.
