Senate Porto Rican Bill Likely Passes Amid Quay Delay
In Washington on April 2 the Senate plans a Tuesday vote on the Porto Rican bill with most committee amendments approved. Seven Republican senators oppose it, while McEnery and some independents may back it, making the final majority uncertain. The vote will shift focus away from the Quay resolution, which Chandler will defer to Wednesday, with adjournments and further delays possible. The Philippine resolution, deemed temporary, will follow Porto Rico and share time with Alaska, taxes, and other measures as Congress debates shipping subsidies and the Nicaragua canal bill.
