Washington watch on House committee line up
In Washington the week centers on the Rules Committee and the Speaker John G. Carlisle as chair. Randall is slated second, with Elections Committee to be announced. Carlisle may unveil all committees the day before the holidays. Pennsylvania Democrats shift to Carlisle, while Lefevre’s wavering opens returns for Randall. Morrison jokes about a Liars Committee to lampoon Lefevre. Senate committees finish selection, with formal naming Monday if caucuses approve. A rush of bills and actions touch Cherokee indemnity and Poeples funds, amid broader political maneuvering.
