Move To Kill Fails As Senate Debates Reapportionment
The Senate rejected a motion to kill a proposal delaying court ordered state legislature reapportionment for a year or more. A later vote to shut off debate on the issue failed 63 to 30, with tabling failing 49 to 38. The rider, tied to the foreign aid bill, would push delays in Supreme Court mandated population based apportionment. Administration leaders sought a settlement before final action.
