        The Clerk will read.
        The Clerk read as follows:

            Be it enacted, etc.--

                                  short title

            Section 1. This act may be cited as the ``Federal Fair 
        Employment Practices Act.''

        Mr. [Paul W.] SHAFER [of Michigan]. Mr. Chairman, I move that 
    we now adjourn.
        The CHAIRMAN. That motion is not in order in Committee.

    Parliamentarian's Note: In the Committee of the Whole, the proper 
motion is that the Committee ``do now rise'', which motion, if adopted, 
would then permit a motion to adjourn in the House.
