Mahon Shapes Vast Federal Spending and Labor Drive
Democratic Rep. George Mahon of Lubbock wields decisive influence over a roughly $50 billion annual appropriations bill as chairman of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee. The Labor Department, led by Secretary Goldberg, pushes a broad drive to expand control of farm labor, with new bills tightening use of private workers, wages, housing, and conditions.

Congressman Mahon Seeks Limits on Defense and Nondefense Spending
The debate centers on reducing appropriations through a debt ceiling. Mahon argues a lower limit would let Congress decide cuts, not the executive. He notes his subcommittee set a next fiscal year Defense budget and favors congressional decree if cuts occur. After passage, Kennedy phoned Mahon to thank him. Mahon admits initial opposition but supported the measure for defense funding and urged trimming nondefense costs.
