Extend Price Controls for One Month Vote
The House Banking Committee voted 21 to 3 for a 31 day extension of price controls to give Congress time to debate a revised law. Without action the current law expires Saturday midnight, risking a collapse of the government control program. Senate and House clash over a broader measure. Bricker advocates a compromise to extend 31 days under guardrails while Senate works its bill. The stopgap faces possible filibuster, and a final action hinges on Senate timing.
