House Won’t Act On Cotton Revision In Congress
Washington, August 15. The house will not move further with the cotton tariff bill unless the senate signals backing for the house plan to pass the wool and steel bill over the president’s veto. The cotton bill sits in Ways and Means after senate changes. Democratic leaders fear many absences may enable repeal passage if it reaches the Moor. An effort to dispose of steel and wool tariff revisions failed in the senate and a vote was blocked by unanimous consent over a pairing dispute. Republicans plan to summon absent members to counter any attempt by Democrats to reenact the vetoed measures.
