Adjournment Kills Reagan Trade Bill and More
President Reagan’s Caribbean Basin proposal and other measures died as Congress adjourned for the year. The Caribbean trade bill, $350 million aid plan, Radio Marti, Burt nomination, and the payment in kind plan were all halted with the 97th Congress, leaving a clean slate for the new session opening January 3. Adjournment ended action on 13 appropriations bills and left funds to be provided by a stopgap bill.
