Restoration of Robert E Lee's U S citizenship approved
The Senate approved the measure in April and the House passed it 407 to 10. The resolution finalizes Lee's restoration as a U S citizen after the Civil War, with symbolic meaning and a note that it does not alter his historical stature or benefit his descendants. Lee IV, his great grandson, calls it an example of reconciliation and restoration for the bicentennial era.

McDonald as Freshman Clown in Georgia Politics
Washington column catalogs first term Rep. Larry McDonald of Georgia as an abrasive, warlike figure who has flooded the Congressional Record with speeches not on the House floor, smearing liberals as Communists and clashing with ex wife over private matters while facing divorce-related court fights. It notes campaign filing irregularities, a concealed spend during primaries, and a tense stance on nuclear use in Vietnam, alongside other Washington buzzy items including a food stamp probe in Puerto Rico and oil lobbying on gas pump octane labeling.
