        Code of Federal Regulations, Title 45, Part 701]

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

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.
