In June 10, 1964, during the roll call for the historic, successful effort
to
break the filibuster on what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
when the clerk reached "Mr. Engle", there was no reply. The tumor had robbed
Engle of his ability to speak. Slowly lifting an arm, he pointed to his eye
, thereby signaling his affirmative vote ("aye").[6] The cloture vote was 71
–29, four votes more than the two thirds required to end the filibuster.[7]
Nine days later, the Senate approved the Act itself.
