Debate on Limitation of Debate in the Senate
Washington reports that Democrats in conference failed to reach a cloture agreement on limiting debate. They plan to resume tomorrow while a rules fight may occur on the floor when Congress opens next Monday, potentially delaying Senate organization and the joint session with the House Tuesday to hear the president. Owens Williams Walsh spoke in support of a rule to require a vote on a bill within two days, limiting filibusters. If no agreement is reached, the Senate risks noncontinuity and a clash over rules opening day. Senator Pomerene of Ohio is a candidate for president pro tempore against Senator Clarke of Arkansas, with four absentees noted as Lewis, Martine, Lew, and Culberson.
