Senate Votes to Weaken Presidential Trade Powers
Senate on Tuesday struck from the reciprocal trade extension bill a provision sharply curtailing President Eisenhower’s command of the trade program. The move was seen as a victory for the President in the pivotal floor vote on trade legislation amid Middle East crisis pressures. Leaders from both parties argued the issue could be settled in conference with the House, which approved a bill close to the President’s request. The amendment to strike was led by Majority Leader Johnson and Minority Leader Knowland with Finance Chairman Byrd backing the move.
