A bill to amend the Office of Education Appropriations Act, 1971, to make the assistance of U.S. marshals available to local authorities for the maintenance or order where plans of desegregation are being carried out in public elementary and secondary schools.

Provides that, where a local educational agency or any official responsible for the maintenance of order in elementary or secondary schools request it, the Attorney General shall make available the services of United States marshals to assist in the maintenance of order in such schools if there is an approved plan of desegregation being carried out in such schools and the Attorney General determines a danger of disorder exists in the schools.
