Abstract	This publication records statements made by representatives of some 20 organizations at a Consultation on the Status of Civil Rights in Maine. Following the chairperson's introductory remarks, presentations on the following five sets of issues are offered: (1) general and multiple civil rights issues (the Maine Human Rights Commission, the Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Inc., and the Maine Division of Community Services); (2) racial, ethnic, and national origin discrimination issues, specifically the experiences of Blacks, Franco-Americans, and Native Americans in the State (the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Central Maine Indian Association, the Association of Aroostook Indians, and a professor of sociology at the University of Southern Maine); (3) sex discrimination issues (the Maine Commission for Women, the National Organization for Women, the Maine Women's Lobby, the Maine Teachers Association, the Portland Family Crisis Shelter, and the American Civil Liberties Union); (4) age discrimination issues (the Bureau of Maine's Elderly, and the Maine State Nurses Association); and (5) handicap discrimination issues (the Southern Maine Association of Handicapped Persons). The document's final section isolates and summarizes problem areas and outlines explicit program suggestions. Appendices list human rights complaints, 1978-79, and organizations represented at the Consultation. (RDN)
