Senator Miller of Iowa says he will seek an amendment to any anti filibuster rule requiring bipartisan backing to end debate.

Early Cedar Rapids Paving Starts Ahead of Schedule
Cedar Rapids begins its 1963 paving program for nearly seven miles of surfacing at over 600000 dollars with an unusual early start stemming from carryover petitions. The bid action in December sets up a fast spring takeoff with a 71000 dollar under-estimate bid, offering potential savings. Officials expect gains from early utility rearrangements and smoother work progress under a coordinated schedule. The change in cycle may not be repeatable, but the favorable timing suggests continued benefit if pursued.
