Outlook in Congress Tackles International Conference Vote
Senate schedule remains cloudy with the Nicaragua bill blocking progress on the bankruptcy measure. On Tuesday Senator Chandler aims for a vote on a bill to represent the United States at an international monetary conference. Debate will be tight with substitutes likely defeated and a rapid passage anticipated before adjournment. Senator Cameron may complicate matters with a separate initiative. Senator Morgan pushes to preserve the Nicaragua canal bill’s calendar position, while Senator-elect Kenney of Delaware may be seated after privileges and elections committee acts on Dupont and Addicks credentials.
