Culver Favors Clark Opposes Congressional Pay Rise
U S Senator Dick Clark opposed a large pay raise for Congress and top federal officials in a 56 to 42 Senate vote. Senator John Culver joined those voting against rejecting the proposal to raise salaries from 44 600 to 57 000. Clark urged restraint while noting future raises may be needed to attract talent. Culver supported the raise citing an independent commission and urged an ethics code to accompany any increase.

Streeter Manufacturing won repeatedly despite lower bids. Critics say bids were often rejected to favor higher Streeter prices, with potential annual savings over 10,000 dollars if low bids were accepted.
