Transport Bill Goes to House
The transportation bill, urged by JFK’s 1962 ideas, faces House Rules Committee scrutiny as it moves toward a floor vote. It draws opposition from coal and water-barge interests over repealing a long standing prohibition on railroads shipping coal and other materials. The measure would alter minimum rate regulations, exempting all carriers for grain and other farm commodities and shifting some protections to trucks, railroads, and barges.
