Watkins and Williams Vote on House Roll Calls in 1960s

Watkins backed a spending authorization extension for federal agencies awaiting appropriations as the measure passed 368 to 13. Both voted against bringing to a vote a bill barring at large congressional elections except in Hawaii and New Mexico. A discharge resolution to block that move passed 201 to 179. Both sided with the majority against tightening meat inspection amendments, a 166 to 207 defeat. They supported a bill reactivating the Subversive Activities Control Board, which passed 269 to 104.
