Republicans Abandon Reclamation Plans in Senate Session
Senate Republican leaders at a series of conferences announced they will drop reclamation legislation from this session’s program. They oppose passing the Smith McNary bill as a separate measure and plan no reclamation amendment to the soldier bonus bill. Senator Borah criticized funding a Liberia loan while western reclamation projects lack funds. The House is near end of its term and will not set a date for action on the Smith McNary bill when it reconvenes August 16. If the Senate rejects a reclamation amendment to the bonus bill, chances to keep the House provision diminish. western senators say there is little chance to retain it otherwise.
