Senate approves tolls repeal test by 50 to 24 vote
The senate adopted the Simmons Norris amendment to the canal tolls repeal bill by a 50 to 24 margin in the first test vote after six weeks of debate. Optimistic repeal supporters did not expect such a large majority and doubt the bill’s passage in its current form. The amendment preserves U S rights under the 1904 Great Britain treaty and does not waive sovereignty or U S control over canal traffic and tolls.
