Byrd held the floor for more than 14 hours in a filibuster against the [[bi-partisan]] [[1964 Civil Rights Act]] and Biden sponsored an Amendment in 1975 to repeal sections of the 1964 Act. Byrd's amendment prohibited the use of federal funds to transport students beyond the school closest to their homes. Biden co-sponsored a measure that further restricted the federal government from desegregating city and suburban schools with redistricting measures like school clustering and pairing.
