Congress Delays Forest Transfer Bill Defeats Enacting Clause
The House defeated the forest reserves transfer bill by striking out the enacting clause in a 100 to 70 vote. Cannon argued the plan would raise costs and mismanage 46 million acres, while Dalzell pushed a Pacific cable debate and opposed government ownership. The session considered the Corliss bill to build a U S cable to the Philippines with a rule allowing general debate.
