suits. He also requested reports on the
efforts made by local commanders to integrate schools used by
dependent children and the responses of local school officials to such
efforts.[23-65] Later, after the new law had been signed by the
President, Norman Paul outlined for the services the procedures to be
used for lodging complaints under Titles IV and VI of the Civil Rights
Act and directed that local commanders inform all parents under their
command of the remedies afforded them under the new legislation.[23-66]

With no prospect in sight for speedy integration of schools attended
by military dependents, the Department of Defense summarily ended the
attendance of uniformed personnel at all segregated educational
institutions. With the close of the 1964 spring semester, Paul
announced, no Defense Department funds would be spent to pay tuition
for such schooling.[23-67] The economic pressure implicit in this
ruling, which for some time had been applied to the education of (p. 599)
civilian employees of the department, allowed many base commanders to
negotiate an end to segregation in off-base schools.[23-68]
