House Advances Tidelands Bill Amid Election-Year Delays
The House moved to push a tidelands measure after Speaker Rayburn urged the Judiciary Committee to report a bill. While hoping the Senate acts, Texas lawmakers and constituents grow impatient. If a House and Senate agreement passes, a Presidential veto override test looms. A new draft UMT bill sets draft age at 18½, 24 months service, and a five million man active ceiling. The plan ties training to school work and reserves eight years after completion.
