Rayburn Wins Rules Change In Tight House Vote
In Washington the Kennedy administration secured a narrow victory as House members approved enlarging the Rules Committee from 12 to 15 members by a 217 to 212 vote. Speaker Sam Rayburn backed the plan to curb a Republican Southern coalition and give the president greater leverage, drawing 195 Democrats and 22 Republicans in support while 64 Democrats and 148 Republicans opposed. The move, balanced between party factions, set the stage for shifting legislative power and drew swift criticism from Republican critics who warned of a rubber-stamp committee. Two ill Republicans returned to vote, underscoring a high turnout not seen since 1959.
