MOTION TO DEFER 
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS
CIVIL ACTION NO. 35257

Comes now the United States of America, Intervenor, 
by its attorney and moves the Court to defer further pro­
ceedings in this matter pending the Congressional consider 
ation of legislation which may affect the type and timing 
of any remedial orders which the Court may issue.

As grounds therefore, the United States shows the
Court as follows:



On karcn 17, 1972, in a special message to 
tne Congress, President Nixon requested immediate con- 
siaerauion and passage or two bills. One would declare 
a temporary moratorium on implementation of ail school 
desegregation orders to the extent they call for 
edaetional or different student transportation, pending 
consideration by Congress of national standards of relief 
Copies On the Presidential Message and proposed statutes 
are attached hereto.

i. Congress is presently considering the pro­
posed bills and the United States avers that the granting 
or tnis motion will not materially effect the timely 
resolution of issues before the Court.

3. In e judgment of the United States the " 
“S’ tnis motion will contribute to tho orderly 

resolution or the matters pending before.the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
