Senate rule change speeds up to end filibuster
The Senate approved a new cloture rule by 56 to 27 to cut off debate with a three fifths vote replacing the two thirds standard for most cases. Mondale hailed the move as crucial amid inflation unemployment and energy concerns and predicted quicker action on tax reform consumer protection and voter registration changes. The vote, 72 to 21 earlier in the session to limit debate, marks the first modification of cloture since 1959 though the two thirds safeguard remains for future rule changes.
