No Draft Law Possible for a Month
Senate leader Mike Mansfield says he will not filibuster the House compromise draft bill but it cannot become law for at least a month. The House passed the measure 297 to 108, adding a 2.4 billion dollar annual pay raise and urging Nixon to seek a final withdrawal date from Indochina. The bill faces a Senate debate after the August recess, with Mansfield signaling possible revival of his nine month withdrawal amendment if prisoners are released.
