Abstract	This study of the civil rights policies and practices of the Bush Administration reviews the first 2 years of that administration's actions, presents recommendations for the future, and offers a series of working papers prepared by experts in the civil rights field. Part 1 of two major parts presents the actual report of the Citizen's Commission on Civil Rights, a bipartisan group of former officials of the Federal Government. That report treats civil rights policy and enforcement in the Bush Administration and offers seven recommendations for change. Part 2 presents 22 working papers on civil rights that deal with the following topics: (1) the Civil Rights Act of 1990; (2) education (enforcement in elementary and secondary education, sex discrimination, and minority access to higher education); (3) employment rights (equal employment opportunity and employment rights of older Americans); (4) immigration; (5) health (civil rights impact on national health policies and challenges posed by the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome); (6) housing (fair housing enforcement, federal fair lending, credit opportunity, and community reinvestment enforcement); (7) affirmative action; (8) political rights (voting rights enforcement, voter registration reform, and the 1990 Census and minority undercount); (9) rights of institutionalized persons; (10) rights of persons with disabilities (Americans With Disabilities Act, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and rights of the institutionalized disabled); (11) United States Civil Rights Commission; and (12) administration of justice (judicial nominations and the Hate Crime Statistics Act). Included are notes on the authors and extensive endnotes for the working papers. (JB)
