Alabama House Judiciary Committee delayed action on a bill to empower a newly formed racial probe commission to subpoena witnesses and records and seek court orders to enforce its inquiries. Sponsors include Rep. John Hawkins, Rep. Hugh Lockend, Rep. Tram Sessions, and Rep. Alton Turner. The measure would allow the commission to compel attendance and access books and records for investigations into potential threats to state sovereignty.

House Raises Limit On Debt
Washington AP. Senate leaders prepare a debt limit bill for a vote before the limit drops from 305 billion. The House approved 213 to 204 as conservatives pressed budget cuts and pledged to block any plan extending the ceiling indefinitely. If enacted, the bill would lift the limit to 307 billion immediately and 309 billion on July 1, with further increases likely if Kennedy tax cuts pass. Byrd schedules a Senate session, balancing opposition with a pledge to move the measure after a Dillon appeal.
