The top of the front page has a two column heading: "Civil Rights Bill Cleared By House Rules Group" with subhead. (see images) 
Complete with all 50 pages, some margin wear, generally good.

Background: This legislative breakthrough marked a critical turning point for the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, as clearing the House Rules Committee was historically one of the most formidable hurdles for civil rights legislation in the mid-20th century. For months, the bill (H.R. 7152) had been deliberately suppressed by Committee Chairman Howard W. Smith (Democrat), a staunch Virginia segregationist who routinely used his vast parliamentary power to bury non-discrimination measures. What makes this clearance extraordinarily rare and notable is the rare display of bipartisan pressure that forced his hand: facing the imminent success of a discharge petition—a notoriously difficult congressional maneuver requiring a majority of House members to bypass a committee chairman—Smith finally relented to avoid a humiliating procedural defeat. By clearing the bill under an open rule that allowed floor debate, the committee unlocked a legislative logjam that had stalled the most comprehensive federal anti-discrimination legislation since Reconstruction, setting the stage for its passage in the House on February 10, 1964, and its ultimate enactment into law that July.
