Congress adjournment hoped for as leaders weigh delay
Representative Anderson introduced a resolution to adjourn Congress on Saturday July 8 and sent it to Ways and Means where it will slumber until leaders deem it expedient to end the session. Morrison’s tariff setback simplifies matters, while Randall says the Anderson plan to adjourn on the third is moot. The House committees push pending appropriation, interstate commerce, naval reconstruction, and other bills as they contend with many demands.
