In .Jts 43-page report, which
originally was to be released on
Nov. .6, the commission also
recommended that '“city officials
include in every contract a stip
ulation by the contractor that
the work force wifi be fully in
tegrated and that the contract
iachsde a provision that the
(coamdsatoa) shall have the
power to determine whether dto-

tract"
"Failure to fulfill contract pro
visions on integration to the sat
isfaction of the (commission)
should result in cancellation of a
contract, the commission also
recommended.

The hearings followed demon

on Equal Employment Opportu
nity, an amalgam of six civil
rights and Ubor groups, at the
Harlem Hssgital annex last
June.
Each city official responsible
for "the awarding of (construc

for "responsible for enforcing the
