Bush Senate rule changes face Senate pushback in Nov vote

Washington Oct 7 Senator Prescott Bush R Conn proposes four Senate rules changes as part of his code of fair procedures for Congressional committees. The Watkins report on McCarthy censure is set for adoption with likely opposition from McCarthy and Senator Jenner. Jenner chairs the Rules and Administration Committee and the Rules Subcommittee, which has heard proposed changes. Jenner criticizes Bush substitute as diversionary and warns it could politicize a non partisan inquiry. He cites past committee achievements in fighting corruption and treason and cautions that the Bush plan could undermine that work. A separate note: the Office of Defense Mobilization grants $145,700 certificate of necessity for Texas Company New Haven petroleum storage facilities with 40 percent amortization.
