Reagan blocked from addressing House on Contra aid vote
President Reagan sought a House speech before the crucial vote on his 100 million dollar Contra aid request but House Speaker O'Neill refused calling it an unorthodox procedure. White House aides noted the vote remained very close and a compromise by Rep. Dave McCurdy proposing 30 million in humanitarian aid now and a second vote after Oct 1 on 70 million in military aid was likely to pass. Reagan expressed disappointment while O'Neill pressed for not politicizing the issue. The controversy follows past clashes over up-or-down votes on the aid and includes constitutional wording handed to reporters.
